GenRec: Knowing Where to Reconstruct and Where to Generate

Generative novel view synthesis from sparse input images is rarely all reconstruction or all generation: pixels visible in some source view have a unique correct value modulated only by view-dependent shading, while pixels in disocclusions or beyond the captured volume admit a distribution of plausible completions. Existing generative novel-view-synthesis methods conflate these regimes under a single uniform loss, blurring the line between geometric fidelity and creative hallucinations even when scene geometry is injected through warped point clouds or projected depth. We introduce GenRec, a multi-view flow matching model that builds the reconstruction--generation split directly into its architecture, supervision, and gradient flow. Guided by an observation mask derived from the source cameras and a monocular depth estimator, a flow matching backbone jointly denoises RGB and scene-coordinate maps across all target views, while a pixel-space refinement stage restores high-frequency detail on observed pixels; the same mask gates supervision so regression signals do not contaminate the generative prior. Across RealEstate10K, DL3DV-10K, and Mip-NeRF~360, in both single-view extrapolation and two-view interpolation, GenRec attains the best reconstruction fidelity in observed regions while also surpassing purely generative baselines on perceptual quality in unobserved ones, showing the effectiveness of our approach.

Stable and Scalable Bundle Adjustment of Holistic 3D Structures

Bundle Adjustment (BA) is a cornerstone of 3D computer vision and has benefited from decades of advances in sparse optimization and numerical methods. It was originally developed for jointly optimizing camera intrinsics, poses and sparse 3D points. While extensions incorporate lines and other primitives, integrating richer geometric structures such as parallelism, coplanarity, or wireframes often introduces significantly increased computational cost and reduced numerical stability. In this paper, we propose a unified framework that extends bundle adjustment to jointly optimize geometric features and higher-order relations. We first introduce a taxonomy that distinguishes scalable geometric features with direct 2D measurements (e.g., points and lines), from groups encoding higher-order relations (e.g., coplanarity, parallelism, etc.), where we show that groups can be modeled as camera-like entities within the bundle adjustment framework. Building on this formulation, we propose that both group constraints and cross-feature relations (i.e., point-line associations) can be expressed through 2D reprojection measurements. By formulating group-induced and cross-feature reprojection errors, we preserve the sparsity structure of classical point-based BA under Schur elimination, while avoiding direct 3D regularization that degrades the conditioning and stability. Experiments on both real-world and synthetic datasets demonstrate runtime performance comparable to classical point-only bundle adjustment, while producing significantly richer 3D structures and improved geometric accuracy.

ReViV: Reconstructing the Viewer and the View in 4D from Monocular Egocentric Video

Egocentric devices, such as wearable front-facing cameras, provide a unique perspective for capturing the continuous interaction between a human viewer and the surrounding environment. A holistic and efficient multimodal model capable of reconstructing this 4D representation is therefore highly desirable. However, existing approaches often rely on auxiliary inputs such as pre-computed camera trajectories, treat scene perception and human ego-motion modeling as separate problems despite their strong interdependency, and suffer from slow inference time. To address these limitations, we present ReViV, the first unified framework for holistic egocentric 4D reconstruction that extracts both viewer and view dynamics from a single monocular RGB video. We formulate the task as learning the full joint probability distribution over multimodal signals, including RGB video, camera trajectory, gaze direction, full-body motion, hand motion, and depth. Powered by a Masked Generative Egocentric Transformer, ReViV operates within a single feed-forward architecture to simultaneously reconstruct the temporally consistent 4D reconstruction across the viewer and the view with fast inference speed. Extensive experiments on diverse benchmarks, including HoloAssist, HOT3D, ARCTIC, Aria Digital Twin, and TACO, demonstrate that ReViV achieves state-of-the-art accuracy and efficiency across holistic ego-body, hand, and gaze reconstruction, camera tracking, while maintaining highly competitive egocentric depth estimation without relying on heavy task-specific priors.
