Orbia: Do Generated Videos Form a Consistent 3D World?

Abstract

Video generators serve as interactive worlds for exploration and simulation, yet realistic and visually appealing frames do not necessarily depict a consistent 3D world. Existing benchmarks assess selected geometric properties or use vision-language models to judge memory and consistency, leaving systematic 3D evaluation underexplored. We introduce Orbia, the first benchmark dedicated to a systematic and comprehensive evaluation of 3D consistency in interactive world models. Through controlled exploration and revisit, we organize the evaluation into three dimensions: input preservation, generated-content persistence, and 3D self-consistency. For input preservation, registered RGB-D references and annotated anchors support appearance, geometry, and spatial stability measurements. For generated-content persistence, we compare revisits to regions absent from the input image with their first generated observations to test whether models preserve what they create. For 3D self-consistency, cross-view depth and feature correspondence, regional scale agreement, and held-out Gaussian rendering test whether generated views describe the same 3D scene. Minute-long exploration and revisits further test long-term consistency. Our construction and annotation pipeline brings together public datasets, self-captured scenes, and simulation, yielding 720 instances across indoor and outdoor environments and six exploration-and-revisit protocols. Evaluation spans 27 text-, action-, and camera-conditioned models through native-interface adapters. Our Orbia benchmark provides a systematic basis for diagnosing 3D inconsistency and developing more persistent video world models.

Text-to-Image Synthesis: A Decade Survey

Text-to-image synthesis (T2I) focuses on generating high-quality images from textual descriptions In this survey, we review 490 papers on T2I spanning the past decade, with representative advances covered through 2026. We start by briefly introducing how GANs, autoregressive models, and diffusion models have been used for image generation, and we additionally examine the shared components whose evolution has driven recent progress. Building on this foundation, we discuss the development of these models for T2I and organize cutting-edge research by problem rather than by chronology alone, covering controllability, personalized and identity-preserving generation, instruction-based image editing, preference alignment and post-training with human and AI feedback, efficiency, safety, and consistency in content and spatial relationships. We further review unified multimodal understanding-and-generation models, summarize the datasets and evaluation metrics commonly used in T2I research, and provide a comparative discussion of the three paradigms together with their respective trade-offs. Finally, we discuss the potential applications of T2I within AIGC, along with the challenges and forward-looking research opportunities in this field.

Towards Accurate State Estimation: Motion Dynamics Kalman Filter for 3D Multi-Object Tracking

Robust 3D state estimation in multi-object tracking is crucial for object localization in self-driving vehicles. Misalignment between the Kalman filter (KF) motion model and an object's motion can cause state drift, particularly in distant and occlusion cases. The static motion model assumption in the conventional KF is widely used in 3D MOT due to its low latency; however, its estimation accuracy degrades as the object's motion disaligns with the chosen model due to traffic. Although recent work introduces a multimodel KF that runs multiple motion models simultaneously to improve state robustness, it incurs significant computational overhead, so many studies still favor the constant-motion KF to maintain efficiency. This work addresses this trade-off by introducing a motion dynamics Kalman filter (MD-KF) that accounts for motion variation through temporal modeling of object motion and adaptively scales the contribution of the motion components in the motion model to correct state-prediction drift caused by this variation, while maintaining computational efficiency by retaining a single-model structure. Evaluations on KITTI and the Waymo Open Dataset, complemented by vehicle experiments, show that MD-KF achieves tracking performance comparable to multimodel KF with an average 1.72x speedup, while outperforming it in handling highly distant and prolonged occluded objects.

RUSplatting: Robust 3D Gaussian Splatting for Sparse-View Underwater Scene Reconstruction

Reconstructing high-fidelity underwater scenes remains a challenging task due to light absorption, scattering, and limited visibility inherent in aquatic environments. This paper presents an enhanced Gaussian Splatting-based framework that improves both the visual quality and geometric accuracy of deep underwater rendering. We propose decoupled learning for RGB channels, guided by the physics of underwater attenuation, to enable more accurate colour restoration. To address sparse-view limitations and improve view consistency, we introduce a frame interpolation strategy with a novel adaptive weighting scheme. Additionally, we introduce a new loss function aimed at reducing noise while preserving edges, which is essential for deep-sea content. We also release a newly collected dataset, Submerged3D, captured specifically in deep-sea environments. Experimental results demonstrate that our framework consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods with PSNR gains up to 1.90dB, delivering superior perceptual quality and robustness, and offering promising directions for marine robotics and underwater visual analytics.
