The paper presents a lightweight 6D pose tracking method that operates on relative pose constraints instead of point-based optimization, using uncertainty derived from geometric alignment to weight these constraints. By avoiding direct inclusion of noisy point measurements, the approach achieves fast and robust long-term tracking with computational costs far lower than reconstruction-based trackers. Experiments on four real-world benchmarks show comparable accuracy to state-of-the-art methods while maintaining real-time performance.

The paper introduces PICO, an end-to-end trainable model for 6DoF surgical tool pose estimation that uses multi-task learning to predict segmentation, depth, and pose parameters. It incorporates two geometry-aware proxy tasks—a projection loss and a point-to-point loss—to enforce consistency in 2D and 3D spaces, improving accuracy and robustness. Evaluated on the SurgRIPE dataset, PICO achieves strong performance, ranking second in rotation accuracy and maintaining competitive translation results, especially under occlusion.

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.
