C3Po: Cross-View Cross-Modality Correspondence by Pointmap Prediction

Kuan Wei Huang, Brandon Li, Bharath Hariharan, @snavely.bsky.social

tl;dr: floorplan (very paper-ish style) to 3D model dataset + model (finetuned DUSt3R) trained on it.
Cool stuff.

C3Po: Cross-View Cross-Modality Correspondence by Pointmap Prediction

ahh this is my mistake - it is just image, pointmap datapoints

I am still impressed by sora’s ability to learn 3D without 3d info (like pointmaps)!

tl;dr: panorama->four perspective views->virtual camera rig->local pose/pointmap repair->loop retrieval->Sim(3) graph optimization

VGGT evals

4) Kyiv puppet theater (IMC23-train) - great quality
5) Charles Square church - camera poses seems to be good, but unprotecting visualization artifacts are annoying. Pointmap prediction is much cleaner (3rd image)

naver has a patent app. on the pointmap approach, let's see what happens I guess?
August 4, 2025 at 12:20 PM
Thank you! And yes same as pointmap matching (fig2, theta) it’s minimising alpha not beta (since rays are normalised, we can use eq 3)

Interesting they still have a "pointmap" loss term though skipping the head. Also glad they got rid of the horrid multi-step pass through the camera head.

There’s room to improve. Future work could explore:

• Extending to in-the-wild scenes via foundation models for robot segmentation & keypoints.
• Ensembling predictions over time for better temporal consistency.
• Fine-tuning pointmap models on real robot data to handle cluttered tabletops.

Thanks Zhenjun for sharing. Our PM-Loss tackles low geometry quality in feed-forward 3DGS caused by "discontinuity" in predicted depth, and features a plug-and-play training loss that leverages geometry priors from pointmap-based models like VGGT. More at aim-uofa.github.io/PMLoss

iHistory to Run Kyoto Life Demo on Apple Vision Pro at Tokyo Forum

Kyoto City's cooperation is what separates PointMap+Life from a tourism demo. A city letting a startup map daily life, not landmarks, is the part worth watching.
