Gate3DGen: A Pre-processing Model that Selectively Purifies Real-World Images for 3D Generation
Xiaolin Li, Zihao Huang, Fanpeng Meng and 5 more
Single-image 3D generation has achieved high fidelity on curated benchmarks, yet degrades sharply on real-world images with uneven illumination, blur, and occlusions. Purifying such inputs requires deciding when to intervene and preserving the visual cues needed for 3D generation, while leaving clean inputs unchanged. We introduce Gate3DGen, a selective pre-processing model that gates image inputs to existing 3D generators without retraining them. A degradation-aware router bypasses inputs classified as clean and extracts features to guide purification of the remaining inputs. Conditioned on these features, a 3D-oriented one-step purifier purifies degraded inputs with spatial losses that encourage preservation of object identity, contours, and textural cues. To provide paired supervision, we construct a synthetic data engine that renders clean views of 3D assets and synthesises composite degradations. On the synthetic benchmark, the purifier improves image fidelity and downstream 3D geometry in only 2.3s on average, reducing TRELLIS.2 mesh distance by 61.5% relative to degraded inputs. VLM evaluation and human preferences on real photographs further support identity preservation and degradation correction. More demos and code are available at https://supra-3d.github.io/gate3dgen.

HiP3R: Hierarchical Pose Graphs for Long-Horizon 3D Reconstruction
Zunnan Xu, Shangchen Zhou, Yihang Luo and 1 more
Feed-forward models accurately estimate camera motion and 3D geometry from short video windows. However, computational and memory costs prevent direct inference on sequences containing thousands of frames. Long videos must therefore be processed as overlapping chunks. This division produces independent local reconstructions with inconsistent coordinate frames and duplicate estimates of shared cameras. Achieving global consistency requires propagating constraints from adjacent overlaps and distant revisits across the sequence. This requirement naturally motivates pose graph optimization. However, the choice of graph level creates a trade-off. Chunk-level graphs efficiently resolve scale drift and close large loops. Yet, their rigid transformations cannot correct internal errors or conflicting frame predictions. Conversely, frame-level optimization offers local flexibility, but scaling it globally is computationally expensive and can break metric scale. HiP3R resolves this trade-off using a hierarchical pose graph. HiP3R first optimizes a robust chunk-level $\mathrm{Sim}(3)$ graph to establish the global layout and scale. It then holds this layout fixed and estimates one shared $\mathrm{SE}(3)$ camera per frame, turning overlapping window predictions into a single trajectory. Experiments across multiple benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of HiP3R in improving camera trajectories and 3D reconstruction. Our method applies to both chunk-based and streaming backends without additional training or fine-tuning. The codes are available at https://kkakkkka.github.io/HiP3R.

WeVisOne-VL: Unified Visual Perception from Objects to Pixels
Tianming Liang, Junyi Pan, Yuxi Li and 5 more
Existing vision-language models (VLMs) remain unreliable for fine-grained visual perception. In this report, we present WeVisOne-VL (WeChat Vision All-in-One), a powerful VLM that unifies object-level and pixel-level perception through structured next-token prediction. It supports multiple visual tasks including object detection, referring localization, counting, OCR, segmentation, and matting, enabling localization at any user-specific granularity, from points and boxes to masks and alpha mattes. Architecturally, we integrate a lightweight pixel decoder into the VLM via a special <OBJ> token to generate instance-level pixel outputs. We train the model with a three-stage curriculum SFT followed by mixed-task RL. Across over 30 benchmarks, WeVisOne-VL demonstrates leading performance on both object-level and pixel-level tasks, while maintaining robust rejection for object-absent queries. By releasing WeVisOne-VL to the open-source community, we hope to advance VLMs from broad visual understanding toward truly reliable perception systems for real-world deployment.

MVLoMa: Multi-View Local Feature Matching with Any Geometry Foundation Model
Xinyang Lu, Shengzhe Wei, Sheng Tang and 3 more
Local feature matching is typically formulated for image pairs, although structure-from-motion and visual localization commonly match one reference image against many retrieved or covisible neighbours. Applying a pairwise matcher independently to these centre-neighbour edges duplicates reference-side computation and prevents the matcher from exploiting complementary multi-view geometric evidence from the remaining observations. To address these limitations, we introduce MVLoMa, a sparse star-graph matcher that extends LoMa from image pairs to multiple views. MVLoMa first uses a frozen multi-view geometry model to jointly describe all images in a star, then injects the resulting cross-view geometric context into local descriptors. It then matches the centre image to all neighbours in a single forward pass through per-view self-attention and bidirectional centre-neighbour cross-attention. For supervision, we derive positive correspondences only from depth-valid, mutually visible dense warps and explicitly penalize high-confidence matches that violate epipolar geometry. On 25-view star graphs from HyperSim, ScanNet++, Mip-NeRF 360, and Tanks and Temples, MVLoMa obtains the best macro-average relative-pose AUC among the compared methods at all three thresholds (58.65/85.41/90.99). Its matcher is 2.20 times faster than sequential evaluation of the 24 centre-neighbour edges. The same design supports four tested frozen geometry encoders -- DA3, $π^3$, VGGT, and VGGT-$Ω$ -- with DA3-Giant performing best on all reported encoder-ablation metrics. Controlled ablations further isolate the effects of geometry-aware descriptors, visibility filtering, geometric negative supervision, and joint multi-view inference.

Evaluation of Uncertainty-Aware Multi-Software Ensembles for Hippocampal Segmentation
Gabriel Oliveira-Stahl, Anna Schroder, James Moggridge and 6 more
Accurate hippocampal segmentation can be a useful tool for diagnosing and monitoring neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy. While numerous automated segmentation methods exist, their clinical adoption remains limited. Reliable uncertainty assessment can enhance trust and facilitate clinical translation. This study evaluates ensembles of five heterogeneous hippocampal segmentation methods - InnerEye, ASHS, FastSurfer, HippoSeg, and FreeSurfer - across two dementia datasets and one epilepsy dataset. The sub-ensemble containing InnerEye, FastSurfer, and HippoSeg emerged as both accurate and efficient, highlighting the feasibility of balancing computational cost and performance. Additionally, ensemble-derived uncertainty quantification with sample variance, mutual information, and predictive entropy is shown to reduce inaccurate segmentations by flagging low-confidence cases, potentially providing a mechanism for automatically escalating ambiguous cases for expert assessment. Lastly, this study explores the downstream clinical utility of ensemble-derived uncertainty, finding a significant correlation with motion artefact severity and a modest contribution to Alzheimer's disease classification.
