Scalable Adaptation of 3D Geometric Foundation Models via Weak Supervision from Internet Video

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces SAGE, a framework that adapts 3D geometric foundation models using weak supervision from raw Internet videos. SAGE employs a hierarchical mining pipeline to generate informative training trajectories, sparse geometric anchoring via SfM point clouds, and dense differentiable consistency through 3D Gaussian rendering, while also replaying a small amount of supervised data to avoid catastrophic forgetting. Experiments on two different backbones show that SAGE reduces Chamfer Distance on unseen benchmarks by 20–42% and consistently improves performance, demonstrating that Internet video can serve as a scalable source for geometric learning.

Learning 3D Editing without Paired Supervision via Generative Prior Distillation

The paper introduces a framework for instruction‑guided 3D editing that does not require paired 3D supervision. It distills visual, semantic, and geometric knowledge from foundation models into a 3D editing model using a differentiable rendering pipeline, guided by a 2D visual prior from an image editing model and a semantic prior from a Vision‑Language Model. A 3D‑aware Distribution Matching regularization is added to prevent geometric collapse and ensure realistic 3D outputs, leading to superior instruction fidelity and cross‑view consistency compared to state‑of‑the‑art baselines.

GaussianDS: Depth-supervised Semantic Gaussian Splatting for Scene Understanding

GaussianDS introduces a depth‑supervised framework for 3D Gaussian Splatting that jointly optimizes RGB appearance, depth, and compact semantics from scratch. By arranging multi‑view images into a pose‑aware pseudo‑video and propagating view‑consistent masks via SAM2, the method aligns semantic lifting with geometric cues, using depth supervision and edge‑aware refinement to curb semantic drift and boundary leakage. The approach achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on LERF and 3D‑OVS benchmarks while preserving high‑fidelity reconstruction and enabling downstream tasks such as 3D object removal.

VideoGPA: Distilling Geometry Priors for 3D-Consistent Video Generation

arXiv:2601. 23286v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While recent video diffusion models (VDMs) produce visually impressive results, they fundamentally struggle to maintain 3D structural consistency, often resulting in object deformation or spatial drift.
