CorrMoE: Mixture of Experts with De-stylization Learning for Cross-Scene and Cross-Domain Correspondence Pruning

Establishing reliable correspondences between image pairs is a fundamental task in computer vision, underpinning applications such as 3D reconstruction and visual localization. Although recent methods have made progress in pruning outliers from dense correspondence sets, they often hypothesize consistent visual domains and overlook the challenges posed by diverse scene structures. In this paper, we propose CorrMoE, a novel correspondence pruning framework that enhances robustness under cross-domain and cross-scene variations. To address domain shift, we introduce a De-stylization Dual Branch, performing style mixing on both implicit and explicit graph features to mitigate the adverse influence of domain-specific representations. For scene diversity, we design a Bi-Fusion Mixture of Experts module that adaptively integrates multi-perspective features through linear-complexity attention and dynamic expert routing. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that CorrMoE achieves superior accuracy and generalization compared to state-of-the-art methods. The code and pre-trained models are available at https://github.com/peiwenxia/CorrMoE.

CorrAdaptor: Adaptive Local Context Learning for Correspondence Pruning

In the fields of computer vision and robotics, accurate pixel-level correspondences are essential for enabling advanced tasks such as structure-from-motion and simultaneous localization and mapping. Recent correspondence pruning methods usually focus on learning local consistency through k-nearest neighbors, which makes it difficult to capture robust context for each correspondence. We propose CorrAdaptor, a novel architecture that introduces a dual-branch structure capable of adaptively adjusting local contexts through both explicit and implicit local graph learning. Specifically, the explicit branch uses KNN-based graphs tailored for initial neighborhood identification, while the implicit branch leverages a learnable matrix to softly assign neighbors and adaptively expand the local context scope, significantly enhancing the model's robustness and adaptability to complex image variations. Moreover, we design a motion injection module to integrate motion consistency into the network to suppress the impact of outliers and refine local context learning, resulting in substantial performance improvements. The experimental results on extensive correspondence-based tasks indicate that our CorrAdaptor achieves state-of-the-art performance both qualitatively and quantitatively. The code and pre-trained models are available at https://github.com/TaoWangzj/CorrAdaptor.

Scalable and Generalizable Correspondence Pruning via Geometry-Consistent Pre-training

Two-view correspondence pruning aims to identify reliable correspondences for camera pose estimation, serving as a fundamental step in many 3D vision tasks. Existing methods rely on geometric consistency to seek true correspondences (inliers) from numerous false correspondences (outliers). In this learning paradigm, outliers severely affect the representation learning of inliers, resulting in models that are neither robust nor generalizable. To address this issue, we propose a geometry-consistent pre-training paradigm that sculpts scalable and generalizable representations free from outlier interference. The paradigm features two appealing properties. 1) Implementation of geometry-consistent pre-training. We introduce masked inlier reconstruction as a pretext task and develop a simple yet effective pre-training framework based on a masked autoencoder. Specifically, due to the irregular and unordered nature of correspondences, which lack explicit positional information, we adopt a dual-branch structure that separately reconstructs the keypoints of two images. This enables indirect reconstruction of 4D correspondences, where keypoints from the paired image provide positional prompts. 2) Unified correspondence encoder. We propose a simple dual-stream encoder with built-in consensus interaction, providing a unified, extensible architecture that enhances representation learning. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method, GeneralPruner, consistently outperforms state-of-the-art approaches in terms of robustness and generalization across various downstream tasks. Specifically, our method achieves 10.76%, 11.84%, and 8.65% performance gains in camera pose estimation, visual localization, and 3D registration, respectively.

VSFormer: Visual-Spatial Fusion Transformer for Correspondence Pruning

Correspondence pruning aims to find correct matches (inliers) from an initial set of putative correspondences, which is a fundamental task for many applications. The process of finding is challenging, given the varying inlier ratios between scenes/image pairs due to significant visual differences. However, the performance of the existing methods is usually limited by the problem of lacking visual cues (\eg texture, illumination, structure) of scenes. In this paper, we propose a Visual-Spatial Fusion Transformer (VSFormer) to identify inliers and recover camera poses accurately. Firstly, we obtain highly abstract visual cues of a scene with the cross attention between local features of two-view images. Then, we model these visual cues and correspondences by a joint visual-spatial fusion module, simultaneously embedding visual cues into correspondences for pruning. Additionally, to mine the consistency of correspondences, we also design a novel module that combines the KNN-based graph and the transformer, effectively capturing both local and global contexts. Extensive experiments have demonstrated that the proposed VSFormer outperforms state-of-the-art methods on outdoor and indoor benchmarks.
