SAM-V: Geometry-Aware Segment Anything for Multi-View Instance Segmentation

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

SAM‑V is a geometry‑aware extension of the Segment Anything Model (SAM) that integrates 3D priors from a feed‑forward geometry model (VGGT) into 2D segmentation. It uses a prompt‑fusion mechanism to combine sparse SAM prompts with view‑specific camera tokens and local VGGT features, enabling a mask decoder that attends to both dense 2D and 3D cues. The resulting end‑to‑end system produces consistent multi‑view instance segmentation in a single forward pass, achieving significant gains on the IGGT 3D tracking benchmark without offline mask matching or explicit 3D reconstruction.

Dyna3: VLM-Guided Training-Free 4D Reconstruction via Depth Foundation Models

Dyna3 is a training‑free framework that extends the depth foundation model DA3 to perform 4D dynamic scene reconstruction without fine‑tuning. By leveraging DA3’s cross‑view features and a best‑match search, it distinguishes static surfaces from moving objects, and uses vision‑language models to generate semantic prompts for SAM 3 to achieve precise instance‑level segmentation. Experiments on four datasets show Dyna3 outperforms correspondence‑trained methods, improving dynamic object segmentation by +5.5 pp, speeding pose estimation 13×, and reducing memory usage 4–8×.

BlazeVGGT: 13x Faster VGGT at 2,000 Frames via Camera Token without Training

BlazeVGGT is a training‑free, plug‑and‑play module that speeds up the VGGT visual geometry model by sparsifying cross‑view attention. It selects a compact set of complementary views using a greedy determinantal point process, preserving dense per‑frame predictions while eliminating redundant computations. On 2,000‑frame sequences, BlazeVGGT achieves roughly 13× faster inference and improves Chamfer Distance from 0.41 to 0.32, demonstrating a strong accuracy–efficiency trade‑off for point‑cloud reconstruction and camera‑pose estimation.
