MonST3R: A Simple Approach for Estimating Geometry in the Presense of Motion
Briefly

MonST3R addresses the challenges of estimating geometry from dynamic scenes in computer vision. By employing a geometry-first approach, it estimates a pointmap for each time step, transforming techniques typically reserved for static scenes to handle motion effectively. Training on limited datasets poses challenges, yet MonST3R leverages fine-tuning strategies and new optimizations, yielding superior performance in tasks such as video depth estimation and camera pose estimation. This results in a robust and efficient system capable of 4D reconstruction, demonstrating significant advancements over existing methods.
Estimating the geometry of dynamic scenes remains a core challenge in computer vision, often leading to complex systems that are prone to errors.
MonST3R effectively bridges the gap by using a pointmap for each timestep, allowing for efficient handling of dynamics without requiring a separate motion representation.
