CRePE: Curved Ray Expectation Positional Encoding for Unified-Camera-Controlled Video Generation

Video world models should predict future appearance in a way that remains consistent with 3D scene structure, camera motion, and lens geometry. Existing attention-level camera encodings, however, either describe each token only by its viewing ray---without locating scene content along that ray---or assume pinhole projection, limiting camera control under wide-angle and fisheye lenses. We introduce Curved Ray Expectation Positional Encoding (CRePE), which represents each image token as a depth-aware distribution along its Unified Camera Model (UCM) ray and integrates the expected rotary positional phasor along the curved path this distribution traces when projected into each query view. CRePE is realized through a lightweight Geometric Attention Adapter on a frozen video diffusion transformer, with pseudo radial-distance supervision from a monocular geometry foundation model serving as a stabilizing anchor rather than an inference-time input. CRePE improves camera-control, lens, and orientation fidelity across pinhole, wide-angle, and fisheye settings, and transfers zero-shot to unseen real fisheye and diverse pinhole videos. Through Radial MixForcing, the same positional pathway further accepts externally supplied radial maps, enabling scene-geometry-conditioned generation and source-video motion transfer that follow the supplied geometry more faithfully than dedicated depth-conditioned baselines. CRePE thus offers a compact interface that unifies camera control, implicit 3D scene state, and external geometry control for video world models.

FILT3R: Latent State Adaptive Kalman Filter for Streaming 3D Reconstruction

Streaming 3D reconstruction maintains a persistent latent state that is updated online from incoming frames, enabling constant-memory inference. A key failure mode is the state update rule: aggressive overwrites forget useful history, while conservative updates fail to track new evidence, and both behaviors become unstable beyond the training horizon. To address this challenge, we propose FILT3R, a training-free latent filtering layer that casts recurrent state updates as stochastic state estimation in token space. FILT3R maintains a per-token variance and computes a Kalman-style gain that adaptively balances memory retention against new observations. Process noise -- governing how much the latent state is expected to change between frames -- is estimated online from EMA-normalized temporal drift of candidate tokens. Using extensive experiments, we demonstrate that FILT3R yields an interpretable, plug-in update rule that generalizes common overwrite and gating policies as special cases. Specifically, we show that gains shrink in stable regimes as uncertainty contracts with accumulated evidence, and rise when genuine scene change increases process uncertainty, improving long-horizon stability for depth, pose, and 3D reconstruction, compared to the existing methods.
