Synthesizing a novel-view video from a monocular reference video along a target camera trajectory requires both geometric consistency and motion fidelity with respect to the reference video. Existing methods based on explicit 3D representations are limited by the accuracy of off-the-shelf reconstruction modules, which often produce inaccurate geometry for dynamic objects in monocular videos.
Real-world spatial intelligence requires agents to understand scenes from continuous video streams, where objects move, persist, disappear, and reappear over time. While recent spatial foundation models have enabled generalizable feed-forward 3D reconstruction, most streaming methods remain geometry-centric and lack temporally consistent object-level understanding.
TAPVid-MV is a new benchmark for tracking any point in 3D across multiple synchronized camera views. It comprises 284 sequences, 1,142 calibrated camera streams, and 109,769 point tracks, covering indoor and outdoor domains and derived from various modalities such as depth, LiDAR, SLAM, and simulation. The dataset is visually verified, and evaluation shows that current multi‑view trackers do not consistently outperform monocular trackers, highlighting geometry recovery as a key bottleneck.

PURE is an unlabeled post‑training refinement framework that enhances feed‑forward 3D reconstruction models by improving depth and camera estimation without ground‑truth supervision. It distills structural knowledge from state‑of‑the‑art 2D priors into 4D architectures, using relative depth constraints, affine‑invariant geometry distillation, and pose refinement via feature correspondences. Experiments on synthetic and real‑world dynamic benchmarks show consistent improvements across multiple state‑of‑the‑art models, effectively mitigating domain shifts and unlocking their architectural limits in challenging in‑the‑wild scenes.
Gen4P is a unified framework that transforms a pretrained video generator into a feed‑forward 4D perceiver, enabling recovery of 4D geometry and motion from monocular video without iterative denoising. It processes clean video latents in a single encoder pass and uses a lightweight cross‑attention decoder to predict requested 4D attributes, supporting flexible spatial sampling and continuous‑time queries for temporal flexibility. By incorporating a frozen pretrained video‑depth LoRA as a geometry prior, Gen4P improves performance on 3D point tracking, video depth, and camera pose estimation, achieving state‑of‑the‑art or competitive results on these tasks and demonstrating robust tracking of complex motion in in‑the‑wild videos.
