OmniPoint: Universal Monocular Metric Pointcloud from Any Camera

Authors: Botao YeMarc PollefeysMing-Hsuan YangAbhijit Kundu

Abstract

Recovering metric 3D geometry from monocular images is a fundamental computer vision task, yet current methods remain heavily fragmented by fixed camera model assumptions and inflexible input schemes. We present OmniPoint, a unified framework designed to generalize metric reconstruction across diverse imaging sensors, including pinhole, fisheye, and equirectangular projections, while accommodating varying geometric priors. To overcome projection rigidity, OmniPoint abandons conventional planar depth regression. It instead adopts a decoupled ray and distance representation alongside a decoupled training objective, explicitly separating the camera projection model from the scene structure. To address the severe scarcity of training data for alternative cameras, we introduce a bidirectional augmentation strategy that explicitly bridges labeled perspective data and unlabeled omnidirectional domains in 3D space. Furthermore, to seamlessly integrate optional inputs like camera intrinsics or sparse depth without destabilizing the network through feature distribution shifts, we propose a robust information injection mechanism. This mechanism utilizes learnable input state embeddings to resolve architectural ambiguity and applies vectorized Gaussian smoothing to densify irregular measurements. Extensive experiments demonstrate that OmniPoint achieves state-of-the-art zero-shot performance across multiple benchmarks, establishing a robust new standard for unified monocular 3D reconstruction.

PointDiT: Pixel-Space Diffusion for Monocular Geometry Estimation

State-of-the-art single-image 3D reconstruction methods often rely on complex hybrid architectures and loss functions, or compress geometry into latent spaces in order to leverage pre-trained latent diffusion models. In this work, we show that such architectural overhead and intricate loss formulations are unnecessary. We introduce a minimalist pixel-space Diffusion Transformer, built on a plain ViT, that operates directly on raw 3D point map patches and is conditioned on image tokens from a pre-trained DINOv3. Unlike existing latent diffusion approaches, we train our diffusion backbone entirely from scratch, eliminating the need for point map tokenizers. Despite its simplicity, our approach surpasses complex latent-based diffusion models while remaining significantly simpler than hybrid alternatives. Notably, it produces sharper geometric structure and is more robust in highly ambiguous regions, such as transparent objects.

Argus: Metric Panoramic 3D Reconstruction for Indoor Scenes

Metric feed-forward 3D reconstruction for panoramic data remains under-explored due to the lack of large-scale panoramic RGB-D training data. We present Realsee3D, a hybrid dataset of 10K indoor scenes (1K real, 9K synthetic) with 299K panoramic viewpoints and precise metric annotations, and Argus, a feed-forward network trained on it for metric panoramic 3D reconstruction. In the sparse unordered capture setting of Realsee3D, a poorly chosen coordinate anchor can cause global pose drift. Argus addresses this with a learned covisibility module that selects the geometrically optimal reference view to anchor the metric world frame. To further improve multi-task learning, we decompose the bidirectional pixel-to-world mapping into interpretable sub-steps with per-step supervision and cross-coordinate joint constraints, reinforcing geometric consistency across prediction branches. On the Realsee3D benchmark, Argus achieves state-of-the-art metric performance in camera pose estimation, depth estimation, and point cloud reconstruction.

MetricHMSR:Metric Human Mesh and Scene Recovery from Monocular Images

We introduce MetricHMSR, a novel framework for recovering metric human meshes and 3D scenes from a single monocular image. Existing methods struggle to recover metric scale due to monocular scale ambiguity and weak-perspective camera assumptions. Moreover, their fully coupled feature representations make it difficult to disentangle local pose from global translation, often requiring multi-stage pipelines that introduce accumulated errors. To address these challenges, we propose MetricHMR (Metric Human Mesh Recovery), which incorporates a bounding camera ray map representation to provide explicit metric cues for human reconstruction,together with a Human Mixture-of-Experts (HumanMoE) that dynamically routes image features to specialized experts, enabling the disentangled perception of local human pose and global metric position. Leveraging the recovered metric human as a geometric anchor, we further refine monocular metric depth estimation to achieve more accurate 3D alignment between humans and scenes.Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on both human mesh recovery and metric human-scene reconstruction.
