RAFT-MSF++: Temporal Geometry-Motion Feature Fusion for Self-Supervised Monocular Scene Flow

We present \emph{DisFlow}, a novel framework for online scene flow estimation from distance field that enables \emph{6DoF dynamic object pose estimation}, \emph{motion tracking}, and \emph{surface reconstruction}. The scene is represented by Gaussian Process Implicit Surfaces (GPIS), with surface normals serving as derivative constraints, enabling accurate signed distance computations near the surface and gradient queries with uncertainty. With this representation as a foundation, we compute a scene flow from the distance field that describes how surface points are transported over time in consecutive frames. Through our flow, we can estimate an object's pose and motion by incrementally registering a new observed point cloud via an elegant closed-form optimisation. Unlike prior methods that operate in the camera or world frame, our approach performs probabilistic fusion directly in the \emph{object frame}, where the object remains geometrically consistent over time. The tight coupling of the DisFlow method in space and time yields dense geometry, surface normals, object pose trajectories, velocities, and uncertainty, all at real-time rates. We evaluate DisFlow on dynamic object sequences and demonstrate that it achieves accurate pose and motion tracking while simultaneously reconstructing high-quality object surfaces.

Monocular visual odometry (VO) is a fundamental computer vision problem with applications in autonomous navigation, augmented reality and more. While deep learning-based methods have recently shown superior accuracy compared to traditional geometric pipelines, particularly in environments where handcrafted features struggle due to poor structure or lighting conditions, most rely on deterministic regression, which lacks the uncertainty awareness required for robust applications. We propose PoseFM, the first framework to reformulate monocular frame-to-frame VO as a generative task using Flow Matching (FM). By leveraging FM, we model camera motion as a distribution rather than a point estimate, learning to transform noise into realistic pose predictions via continuous-time ODEs. This approach provides a principled mechanism for uncertainty estimation and enables robust motion inference under challenging visual conditions. In our evaluations, PoseFM achieves strong performance on TartanAir, KITTI and TUM-RGBD benchmarks, achieving the lowest absolute trajectory error (ATE) on some of the trajectories and overall being competitive with the best frame-to-frame monocular VO methods. Code and model checkpoints will be made available at https://github.com/helsinki-sda-group/posefm.

Estimating 2D camera motion is fundamental to computer vision and computational photography. Existing homography-based methods work well for planar scenes or pure rotation, but struggle with camera translation, depth variation, and local parallax; local homography and mesh-based models improve flexibility but still rely on piecewise planar assumptions. We introduce CamFlow+, a hybrid-basis framework that represents 2D camera motion directly in dense-flow space. CamFlow+ combines homography-derived physical bases, stochastic bases sampled from homography flows, and depth-translational bases derived from depth and camera intrinsics, relaxing the single-plane constraint while preserving camera-motion regularity. A depth-aware smoothness term further regularizes translation-induced parallax in continuous-depth regions while preserving motion changes near depth boundaries. We evaluate CamFlow+ on GHOF-Cam, a camera-motion benchmark that masks out dynamic objects and ill-posed occlusion regions in an optical-flow benchmark to isolate camera-induced motion. Experiments show that CamFlow+ improves sparse and dense camera-motion estimation. In digital video stabilization, CamFlow+ also improves global and local stability, achieving the best top-1 preference rate in a blind user study.
