GeoCond is a lightweight reliability adapter that enhances frozen feed‑forward 3D reconstruction backbones by reading their predicted geometry to produce pose‑level uncertainty and a refinement gate. It can be trained using permutation‑orbit variance, ground‑truth pose error, or cycle residuals from unlabeled pose graphs, and at inference requires only a single backbone pass plus a small MLP. On the VGGT backbone, GeoCond reduces out‑of‑distribution AUSE from 0.32 to 0.20, transfers zero‑shot to outdoor extreme‑view scenes, and prevents collapse from uniform bundle adjustment, while also enabling gated refinement, pose‑graph weighting, calibration, curation, and capture decisions.
The paper audits the confidence outputs of seven feed‑forward 3D reconstruction backbones across 13 datasets, evaluating four properties: error ranking, average error‑to‑uncertainty ratio, slope of this ratio, and coverage of the implied error distribution. While confidence ranks errors well, the decoded uncertainty is consistently too small—off by at least 2.4× on median cases—and worsens with higher confidence. A post‑hoc power‑law fit per backbone‑dataset pair improves all four metrics at the dataset level, reducing the median error by 1.35×, but fails to correct coverage for many held‑out scenes, indicating the models lack the correct error scale and distribution shape.
Feed-forward 3D foundation models such as VGGT predict cameras, depth, and point maps in a single pass, but can fail silently under low overlap, low parallax, and extreme relative rotation. Stratified...
