Forge4D is a feed‑forward model that reconstructs temporally aligned 4D human representations from uncalibrated sparse‑view videos, enabling both novel view and novel time synthesis. It achieves this by jointly streaming 3D Gaussian reconstruction with dense motion prediction, using learnable state tokens for temporal consistency and a self‑supervised retargeting loss for motion prediction. Extensive experiments confirm its effectiveness on in‑domain and out‑of‑domain datasets.

The paper introduces a benchmark for evaluating Structure-from-Motion (SfM) methods used in novel view synthesis (NVS) such as NeRFs and 3DGS. It compares classical SfM, which relies on local feature matches and bundle adjustment, with recent neural network approaches that regress camera parameters directly for faster but less accurate results. The study finds that reducing feature counts speeds up classical SfM without sacrificing pose accuracy, and that combining neural network initial estimates with classical refinement yields the best balance of efficiency and effectiveness.
