Local feature matching is a fundamental component of photogrammetry, enabling accurate image correspondence critical for tasks such as 3D reconstruction, stereo mapping, and visual localization. While recent detector-free matching methods, like LoFTR, have advanced the field, the global features obtained by leveraging the global-range modeling capacity of the unconstrained attention mechanism compromise the model's attention to the salient structures in certain scenarios.

The paper introduces GeoNeXt, a framework that repurposes pretrained video generative models for geometry estimation by framing it as a next‑frame prediction task. Unlike prior methods that either train separate depth/normal models or fine‑tune image diffusion backbones, GeoNeXt jointly models images and geometric targets, leveraging the structured knowledge of video models for more data‑efficient learning. Experiments show zero‑shot monocular depth and surface normal estimation that outperforms existing generative approaches and rivals discriminative state‑of‑the‑art methods while using far less training data.
