LensBridge: Frequency-Guided Compound Degradation Adaptation for Lens Aberration Correction and Veiling Glare Removal
Xiaolong Qian, Zhonghua Yi, Qi Jiang, Kailun Yang, Shuhang Xie +2
Simplified optical systems often exhibit residual lens aberrations and Veiling Glare (VG), resulting in spatially varying blur and contrast reduction. Large-scale Lens Libraries (LensLib) enable reusable aberration correction models by covering diverse Point Spread Functions (PSFs), but their aberration-only training distribution does not include target-specific veiling glare. Extending such foundations to compound degradation is challenging because realistic target-system compound pairs are difficult to obtain. To address this challenge, we propose LensBridge, a two-stage framework that first establishes a reusable aberration correction foundation and then adapts it to compound optical degradation using only a few unpaired target observations. In Stage I, we build a PSF-aware one-step diffusion foundation by constructing discrete degradation priors from LensLib PSFs and learning to retrieve them directly from aberrated images, enabling PSF-aware correction without requiring explicit PSF at inference. In Stage II, we adapt this foundation to compound degradation through frequency-domain guidance. At the data level, Frequency-guided Degradation Completion (FDC) transfers target…

OCA: ODE-Driven Cross-Attention for Image-to-Point-Cloud Registration
Pei An, Jiaqi Yang, Yulong Wang, Siwen Quan, Liangliang Nan
Cross-attention is a crucial component in learning-based image-to-point-cloud (I2P) registration. Although existing cross-attention mechanisms have achieved promising progress, attention ambiguity remains a fundamental challenge that hinders the learning of discriminative 2D-3D correspondences. To address this problem, we revisit cross-attention and establish ordinary differential equations (ODEs) to model the ideal I2P feature interaction. Based on this formulation, we develop an ODE-driven cross-attention (OCA) module that refines feature representations and attention matrices through ODEs. In practice, OCA can be seamlessly integrated into existing I2P registration frameworks. To validate its effectiveness, we incorporate OCA into five state-of-the-art baselines and evaluate on four public benchmark datasets. Experimental results demonstrate that OCA improves registration recall by up to 5\%, 9\%, and 15\% under the standard, fine-tuning, and zero-shot settings, respectively.

SCCM: Spherically Consistent Coarse Matching for ERP Dense Feature Correspondence
Gyeonggwan Lee, Eunsoo Im, Seunghwan Hong, Junghun Suh
Dense feature matching between 360$^\circ$ panoramas underpins omnidirectional pose estimation, 3D reconstruction, and SLAM. Such panoramas are stored in the equirectangular projection (ERP), which unrolls the viewing sphere onto a flat chart and thereby introduces three distinct distortions -- a longitudinal seam (topology), latitude-dependent stretch (metric), and non-uniform pixel area (area) -- that the coarse stage of perspective-trained dense matchers does not model, so these matchers degrade systematically on ERP. We show that correcting the three distortions at the coarse-stage interfaces where they arise -- pairwise distortions in attention, per-pixel distortion in covisibility gating -- improves PCK@1$^\circ$ from 0.230 to 0.275 on Matterport3D under a fixed coarse scaffold, with the refiner architecture unchanged -- our central result. Concretely, SCCM (Spherically Consistent Coarse Matching) augments a chart-naive cross-attention/dual-softmax coarse matcher with two sphere-derived priors: Spherical Positional Attention (SPA) pairs a yaw-periodic RoPE (topology) with a tangent-plane bias (metric), and Area-Aware Covisibility (AAC) applies a pre-sigmoid log-area…

Temporal-Aware Fusion for Robust Outdoor LiDAR Localization
Minghang Zhu, Zhijing Wang, Yuxin Guo, Chen Liu, Yongshu Huang +3
LiDAR relocalization aims to estimate the global 6-DoF pose of a sensor in the environment. However, existing regression-based approaches often encounter limitations in dynamic or ambiguous scenarios, as they typically prioritize single-frame inference, leaving the potential of spatio-temporal consistency across scans not fully explored. In this paper, we propose a Temporal-aware Localization framework (TempLoc) designed to enhance the robustness of outdoor localization by effectively modeling sequential consistency. Specifically, a Global Coordinate Estimation module is first introduced to predict point-wise global coordinates and associated uncertainties for each LiDAR scan. A Prior Coordinate Generation module is then presented to estimate inter-frame point correspondences by the attention mechanism. Lastly, an Uncertainty-Guided Coordinate Fusion module is deployed to integrate both predictions of point correspondence in an end-to-end fashion, yielding a more temporally consistent and accurate global 6-DoF pose. Experimental results on the NCLT and Oxford RobotCar benchmarks show that our TempLoc outperforms state-of-the-art methods by a large margin, demonstrating the…

LEGO-Anything: Coding Agents for 3D Scene Reconstruction
Xirui Li, Peng Shi, Mingwen Dong, Sheng Zhang, Zhuoyan Xu +5
A 3D scene reconstructed from a single image is most useful when represented not as a rendering or a fixed 3D output, but as an explicit scene program whose execution yields a scene that can be inspected, edited, and queried. We present LEGO-Anything, an Image-to-Code framework in which a coding agent iteratively writes and executes Blender code, inspects scenes and renderings, and revises the program. To evaluate end-to-end scene recovery, we introduce LEGO-Bench, a simulator-grounded benchmark with 208 images from 104 diverse indoor and outdoor scenes. LEGO-Bench separately scores artifact validity, visible-surface geometry, and rendered appearance. Its simulator-grounded design enables extensibility and precise automatic evaluation. Among evaluated agents, GPT-6-astra achieves the strongest overall results, with 53.4% indoor and 39.6% outdoor scores, yet substantial gaps remain between delivering valid scene artifacts and faithfully recovering scene geometry and appearance. Analysis of agent construction trajectories reveals three recurring issues: weak scene initialization, regressive edits during iteration, and unreliable self-evaluation. These findings motivate LEGO-Plugin,…

OTT3R: Multi-View 3D Reconstruction and Fast Dataset Generation at 1% Compute
Brandon Leblanc, Charalambos Poullis
Feed-forward 3D reconstruction models have achieved impressive performance by scaling model and dataset size, but their cost excludes most research groups and precludes edge deployment. Additionally, generating 3D supervision without sensors still relies on slow, unreliable Structure-from-Motion, as the community lacks a COLMAP-like system for neural 3D pseudo-label generation. We present OTT3R (RGB-Only Tiny Transformer for 3D Reconstruction), a knowledge distillation framework that addresses both problems on a single workstation equipped with 2 GPUs. Distilling $π^3$ (959M parameters) into a 102M-parameter student yields 9.4$\times$ compression and up to 7$\times$ faster inference, trained at 1.6% of VGGT's training compute. An integrated pseudo-label pipeline offers a reliable, high-throughput alternative to COLMAP, generating dense per-pixel point maps and SE(3) camera poses for a 667K-image corpus in 3.5 hours on two commodity GPUs and succeeding on every sequence we tested, including those where COLMAP fails. The general student tracks the teacher on in-distribution monocular depth and, zero-shot, outperforms COLMAP on 7-Scenes and on DTU completion, but it does not replace…
