LEGO: A Lifting-Free Approach for Exocentric-to-Egocentric Video Generation
Suhwan Cho, Yonwoo Choi, Soongjin Kim, Jicheol Park, Taegyu Lim
Generating an egocentric video from a single exocentric recording is a challenging case of novel view synthesis, as the two cameras share little overlap and much of the target view is unobserved. Current state-of-the-art methods reconstruct the scene explicitly by estimating depth, lifting the video into a point cloud, and re-rendering it from the egocentric camera to condition a video diffusion model. This deterministic mapping assigns each pixel to a single reprojected location, which preserves texture but translates depth errors into misplaced content. We ask what a video diffusion model should receive as its condition and propose a lifting-free answer: a learned view synthesizer, an LVSM-style transformer fine-tuned to render the egocentric view directly without depth, point clouds, or reprojection, resolving cross-view correspondence internally. In contrast, its probabilistic mapping averages each region over candidate source locations according to a learned correspondence distribution, preserving structure while fine texture is averaged away. We argue that this trade-off suits a diffusion generator, whose denoising training excels at restoring detail, so an effective…

Pumpire: Unified Benchmark for Metric Distance Estimation
Siyu Chen, Zehan Wang, Jiayang Xu, Yihan Wu, Jialei Wang +4
We present Pumpire, a unified benchmark for evaluating metric point-pair distance estimation capability of both image- and video-level 3D foundation models, with or without depth priors. In contrast to previous approaches that normally evaluate depth and camera intrinsics separately or evaluate point-clouds with geometric similarity metrics, which cannot directly reflect models' point-to-point distance estimation capability, Pumpire directly assesses point-to-point distances from the reconstructed geometry. To this end, we collect a large-scale and diverse dataset (pumpire-6k) comprising 100 real-world scenes, each annotated with physically measured point-pair distances and containing 64 frames, for a total of 6,400 frames. Building on this dataset, we establish a holistic evaluation protocol that covers both image- and video-level 3D foundation models and enables direct assessment of point-pair distance errors and cross-setting comparison. We conduct extensive experiments across 29 baseline configurations of representative 3D foundation models and provide a comprehensive analysis of the results. By offering this benchmark, we target the more fundamental ability to perceive and…

Beyond Spatio-Temporal Priors: A Generalizable Approach for Dense Correspondence Matching
Luping Liu, Bingyi Kang, Yifan Wang, Dong Xu
Dense correspondence matching has historically been bounded by simplifying spatio-temporal priors, such as smooth motion and rigid geometry. While effective for classical tasks, these assumptions break down in image editing and reference-guided generation (IEG), where transformations can preserve visual identity while breaking physical continuity. To establish identity-preserving correspondence across such transformations, we introduce FreeMatching, a generalizable framework combining generative and semantic foundation representations with heterogeneous supervision from classical datasets, tracked videos, and synthetic scenes. Teacher-guided iterative refinement further improves correspondence in IEG without dense correspondence annotations. Experimentally, a single FreeMatching model substantially improves correspondence quality on challenging IEG image pairs while retaining competitive performance on classical benchmarks. Furthermore, we demonstrate its utility as a quantitative metric for evaluating identity preservation, with scores that correlate with human judgment. The code is available at https://github.com/luping-liu/FreeMatching.

GenIA: Generative Reconstruction with Test-Time Input Alignment
Stefano Esposito, Naama Pearl, Polina Karpikova, Samuel Rota Bulò, Lorenzo Porzi +3
Reconstructing complete 3D object assets from monocular or sparse multi-view observations remains challenging. Generative 3D foundation models can complete object geometry beyond the observed views, but their predictions may not faithfully reproduce the observed geometry, appearance, or pose. We introduce GenIA, a framework for test-time input-aligned generation that grounds SAM3D's generative prior in geometric and photometric observations without retraining the foundation model. We improve object pose by deriving translation and scale from geometry while retaining the learned rotation prior, and align appearance through visibility-biased attention, cross-observation fusion, and differentiable rendering guidance during denoising. An optional post-denoising refinement further adapts the appearance latent, lightweight decoder adapters, and object placement to the observations. Our framework also supports externally supplied geometry; when given temporal shapes of dynamic objects, it recovers a shared, input-aligned canonical appearance and stable world-space placement. Across synthetic and real benchmarks, GenIA improves pose prediction and object reconstruction from monocular,…

Slot3R: Set-Associative Spatial Memory for Streaming 3D Reconstruction
Xiyuan Zhang, Yanming Yang, Kaiyuan Xu, Ruibo Li, Chi Zhang
Streaming 3D reconstruction must preserve evidence from each frame while processing an expanding scene online. Spatial memory is a natural fit because it organizes history by reconstructed 3D location. Yet Point3R uses spatial proximity both to associate a new observation with an existing memory entry and to decide whether to fuse it, conflating co-location with state identity. Because pointers summarize image patches, nearby pointers may encode distinct surfaces, viewpoints, or visibility conditions; averaging them can destroy complementary evidence before later frames disambiguate it. We argue that location should determine address, not whether observations must merge. Slot3R realizes this principle as a training-free, set-associative retrofit that lets multiple states coexist at a shared address while keeping the pretrained Point3R backbone frozen. A bounded sparse readout further decouples persistent storage from per-frame decoder access. At 300-500 sampled frames, Slot3R reduces Point3R's point-cloud accuracy error (Acc) by 57.1%-63.1% on 7Scenes and 64.0%-72.0% on NeuralRGBD, lowers Sim(3)-aligned absolute trajectory error (ATE) on all three pose benchmarks, and remains…

AI-Based On-Board Maritime Object Detection for Earth Observation Payload Data Reduction on Versal Embedded Hardware
Thomas Goudemant, Aurélien Bobey, Omar Hlimi, Marjorie Bellizzi
Very-high-resolution Earth-observation satellites acquire more data than they can store and downlink, while in maritime surveillance the vessels cover a tiny fraction of each scene. We study onboard vessel detection as a way to select what is downlinked, which reduces the data according to its content rather than coding every pixel; it is complementary to conventional onboard compression. The work follows three axes. (i) Data and algorithm: a controlled dataset is generated from 68 annotated Maxar scenes with 43 vessel classes, and a YOLOX-S detector is trained on it. (ii) Embedded deployment: the detector is quantized and deployed on the DPU of a Versal VC1902, with a limited loss of detection quality and a processing time of a few seconds per scene. (iii) Data reduction: we propose several downlink modes, from metadata only (box, class and score of each detection) to image crops around vessels, tiles holding detections, or the whole scene with a degraded background, and estimate from the measured detection errors the trade-off each offers between the vessels kept and the volume downlinked. On our dense harbor and coastal scenes, tiles keep 98% of the vessels with 29% of the…
