SymRegFlow: Symmetry-Regularized Flow Matching for Video World Models

SymRegFlow is a symmetry‑regularized flow‑matching framework that enables multi‑view‑consistent video generation across continuously varying camera poses without requiring ground‑truth novel‑view RGB supervision. The method geometrically warps source views into noisy anchors and uses masked dual‑anchor supervision combined with cross‑anchor denoising‑output consistency to reduce anchor‑specific errors. Experiments on Cosmos‑Drive‑Dreams and nuScenes show that SymRegFlow achieves superior video quality, achieving the lowest FVD and FVMD scores and improving FID and instance preservation compared to existing baselines.

HiSfM: Disambiguating Structure-from-Motion via Scaffold-Anchored Hierarchical Reconstruction

HiSfM introduces a hierarchical coarse‑to‑fine Structure‑from‑Motion framework that enhances robustness and efficiency by building a scaffold of local communities and a compact skeleton using edge‑disjoint spanning trees. The method verifies skeletal edges with a two‑view disambiguator, constructs a stable scaffold as an anchor, and then registers remaining images for refinement. Experiments on ambiguity‑focused benchmarks and general datasets demonstrate that HiSfM avoids ambiguity‑induced failures, reduces runtime, and improves completeness compared to prior approaches.
