RayRoPE: Projective Ray Positional Encoding for Multi-view Attention

arXiv:2601. 15275v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study positional encodings for multi-view transformers that process tokens from a set of posed input images, and seek a mechanism that encodes patches uniquely, allows SE(3)-invariant attention with multi-frequency similarity, and can adapt to the geometry of the underlying 3D scene.

Revisiting Multi-View Stereo: A Sequence-to-Sequence Formulation

The paper proposes a new sequence-to-sequence formulation for multi-view stereo (MVS) that jointly predicts 3D geometry for all input views using a global transformer architecture. It introduces ray‑map embeddings to inject camera parameters into image tokens and a unified global cost volume to capture 3D structure across all views. Experiments on public benchmarks demonstrate state‑of‑the‑art performance, outperforming both traditional MVS and feed‑forward reconstruction baselines.

GeoState: Learning View-Decoupled Geometry States for 3D World Modeling

GeoState introduces a view‑decoupled geometry representation for predictive 3D world modeling, separating scene‑state evolution from camera‑dependent observation. It aggregates multi‑view geometry foundation model features into a scene tokenizer, then uses a geometry decoder to query this state with camera rays. An autoregressive world model predicts future scene states while modeling camera motion independently, enabling consistent decoding under any camera and maintaining a single context‑derived scale throughout rollouts.
