Abstract

Feedforward geometric foundation models achieve strong short-window reconstruction, yet scaling them to minutes-long videos is bottlenecked by quadratic attention complexity or limited effective memory in recurrent designs. We present LoGeR (Long-context Geometric Reconstruction), a novel architecture that scales dense 3D reconstruction to extremely long sequences without post-optimization. LoGeR processes video streams in chunks, leveraging strong bidirectional priors for high-fidelity intra-chunk reasoning. To manage the critical challenge of coherence across chunk boundaries, we propose a learning-based hybrid memory module. This dual-component system combines a parametric Test-Time Training (TTT) memory to anchor the global coordinate frame and prevent scale drift, alongside a non-parametric Sliding Window Attention (SWA) mechanism to preserve uncompressed context for high-precision adjacent alignment. Remarkably, this memory architecture enables LoGeR to be trained on sequences of 128 frames, and generalize up to thousands of frames during inference. Evaluated across standard benchmarks and a newly repurposed VBR dataset with sequences of up to 19k frames, LoGeR substantially outperforms prior state-of-the-art feedforward methods--reducing ATE on KITTI by over 74%--and achieves robust, globally consistent reconstruction over unprecedented horizons.

Attention Itself Could Retrieve.RetrieveVGGT: Training-Free Long Context Streaming 3D Reconstruction via Query-Key Similarity Retrieval

Visual Geometry Grounded Transformer (VGGT) advances 3D reconstruction via scalable Transformer architecture, but the quadratic complexity of global attention prevents long context application. StreamVGGT enables streaming with causal attention, yet its KV cache grows linearly with frames, causing memory overflow and quality degradation. We present RetrieveVGGT, a training-free framework, which formulates context construction for VGGT as a retrieval problem. By retrieving a fixed number of relevant frames at each step, VGGT maintains a controllable memory budget, which is close to its training context length. Interestingly, we find that the similarity between current frame queries and cached history frame keys at the first global attention layer of VGGT is already a strong indicator of relevance, eliminating the need for additional learned scoring. To enhance information diversity similar to a recommender system, we propose Segment Sampling so that the retrieval spans distinct relevant segments rather than a single high-similarity region. We design a pose-aware spatial memory mechanism that organizes history frames according to their already estimated camera poses, enabling location-aware retrieval. Extensive experiments demonstrate that RetrieveVGGT achieves state-of-the-art performance, outperforming StreamVGGT, TTT3R, and InfiniteVGGT while maintaining constant memory usage regardless of sequence length.

Think Locally, Refine Globally for Memory-Efficient 3D Reconstruction

We propose LoG-VGGT, a memory-efficient framework for long-sequence 3D reconstruction that balances local temporal modeling with global camera consistency. Instead of relying on full global attention, our method introduces cross-window attention at a small subset of transformer blocks, enabling effective information propagation across adjacent temporal windows while keeping memory usage bounded. To mitigate long-term pose drift, we further design a global camera consistency refinement module, where camera tokens interact with compact register tokens via cross-attention to enforce scene-level constraints across the entire sequence. This design enables joint optimization of camera representations and significantly improves long-horizon pose stability without incurring the high cost of sequence-wide attention. Extensive experiments demonstrate that LoG-VGGT achieves improved depth accuracy and robust camera pose estimation across multiple long-sequence benchmarks, while delivering competitive streaming reconstruction performance.

HorizonStream: Long-Horizon Attention for Streaming 3D Reconstruction

Online 3D reconstruction requires estimating camera pose and scene geometry under strict causal and bounded-memory constraints. Existing methods often suffer from drift, jitter, or collapse on long sequences. We trace these failures to a fundamental mismatch. Streaming geometry is inherently temporally heterogeneous, with evidence ranging from short-lived correspondences to persistent global scale. However, current architectures impose uniform and pathological influence patterns. For example, sliding windows enforce hard cutoffs, while ungated recurrence and causal attention cause cache saturation and spike-like attention sinks. To resolve this, we formalize geometric propagation as an evidence influence kernel and propose HorizonStream, a long-horizon Transformer that explicitly factorizes this kernel. For the long-range temporal factor, Geometric Linear Attention learns channel-wise decay rates to enable bounded, multi-timescale propagation of geometric evidence. For the short-range spatial factor, Geometric Local Attention with Spatiotemporal RoPE performs reliable 3D matching while suppressing attention sinks. Finally, Metric Readout Tokens recover stable scale and rigid pose directly from the persistent geometric state. Extensive experiments show that HorizonStream, trained on only 48-frame clips, generalizes stably to sequences exceeding 10,000\ frames with constant memory and linear time, achieving state-of-the-art streaming 3D reconstruction performance.
