The paper introduces DeformView, a wide‑baseline multi‑view dataset with pixel‑level annotations of geometric inconsistencies, and evaluates existing multi‑view consistency‑scoring methods, finding they transfer poorly to forensic localization tasks. To address this, the authors propose DEFECt3R, a lightweight learning‑based classifier that leverages cross‑view feature relationships and hard negative supervision to localize inconsistencies at the pixel level, achieving better performance and fewer false positives. Ablation studies confirm the importance of feature representations and correspondence quality for localization.

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.

PXDepth is a monocular depth estimation model that separates global context modeling from pixel-level depth prediction. It uses a large-patch Vision Transformer to capture scene context and a pixel-space predictor with Context‑Modulated Pixel Transformer blocks to preserve high‑resolution spatial details. The approach maintains fine structures and sharp boundaries while achieving competitive global depth accuracy in zero‑shot benchmarks.
