HoloRecon: Incremental Reconstruction of Long-Range Panoramas with Global Consistency

Long-sequence panoramic reconstruction requires detailed scene geometry and globally consistent camera poses across distant revisits. Panoramic SLAM and incremental SfM rely on feature correspondences, but repeated, similar structures and small partial overlap make reliable long-range connections difficult to establish, leaving accumulated drift unresolved. Feed-forward models offer detailed local geometry, but their high computational costs limit inference window size, necessitating additional constraints for global consistency. This motivates combining continuous feature-based tracking and sparse mapping with rapid, high-quality local reconstruction from feed-forward models to achieve accurate localization and globally consistent dense mapping over long sequences. We therefore propose a panoramic reconstruction framework that couples an ORB-based sparse panoramic mapping frontend with a fine-tuned feed-forward model. Our key insight is that predicted local geometry enables 3D verification of feature matches across distant revisits, yielding long-range camera constraints even between regions. We calibrate predicted depths with sparse landmarks and use verified connections to optimize the global pose graph, updating dense geometry with the corrected camera poses. We also introduce PanoRecon, a seven-scene benchmark with repetitive architecture, large and small loops, and reference camera poses and LiDAR geometry for evaluating global consistency. Our method achieves the lowest mean absolute trajectory error and high F-1 Score among the evaluated methods. Project Page:https://zhuoxiaoli.github.io/HoloRecon_page/

GeoPano: Towards Geometrically Accurate 3D Reconstruction from a Single Panorama

Panoramic 3D reconstruction enables the holistic recovery of complete 360 $^\circ$ scene geometry, offering significant benefits for robotics and AR/VR applications. However, directly estimating geometry from ERP images is inherently challenged by spherical distortions. To reduce spherical projection distortions, a common strategy is to decompose panoramas into distortion-free perspective views, but independently processing these views often introduces cross-view geometric inconsistencies. To address these challenges, we introduce GeoPano, a feed-forward framework for single-view panoramic 3D reconstruction that recovers a geometrically accurate and consistent point cloud from a single panorama. Our approach is driven by two key innovations: First, we propose a panoramic-aware attention aggregator, featuring a streamlined attention architecture equipped with a novel Pano-Attention mechanism, which explicitly exploits the intrinsic spherical geometry of the panorama to guide cross-view interactions, thereby suppressing geometric inconsistencies. Furthermore, we formulate a hybrid supervision strategy to jointly enforce fine-grained local details in perspective space and global structural coherence in spherical space. Experiments demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms previous SOTA approaches in reconstruction accuracy, geometric consistency, and visual fidelity.

Beyond a Single Light: A Large-Scale Aerial Dataset for Urban Scene Reconstruction Under Varying Illumination

Recent advances in Neural Radiance Fields and 3D Gaussian Splatting have demonstrated strong potential for large-scale UAV-based 3D reconstruction tasks by fitting the appearance of images. However, real-world large-scale captures are often based on multi-temporal data capture, where illumination inconsistencies across different times of day can significantly lead to color artifacts, geometric inaccuracies, and inconsistent appearance. Due to the lack of UAV datasets that systematically capture the same areas under varying illumination conditions, this challenge remains largely underexplored. To fill this gap, we introduceSkyLume, a large-scale, real-world UAV dataset specifically designed for studying illumination robust 3D reconstruction in urban scene modeling: (1) We collect data from 10 urban regions data comprising more than 100k high resolution UAV images (four oblique views and nadir), where each region is captured at three periods of the day to systematically isolate illumination changes. (2) To support precise evaluation of geometry and appearance, we provide per-scene LiDAR scans and accurate 3D ground-truth for assessing depth, surface normals, and reconstruction quality under varying illumination. (3) For the inverse rendering task, we introduce the Temporal Consistency Coefficient (TCC), a metric that measuress cross-time albedo stability and directly evaluates the robustness of the disentanglement of light and material. We aim for this resource to serve as a foundation that advances research and real-world evaluation in large-scale inverse rendering, geometry reconstruction, and novel view synthesis.
