abstract

Feed-forward transformer models have driven rapid progress in 3D vision, but state-of-the-art methods such as VGGT and $\pi^3$ have a computational cost that scales quadratically with the number of input images, making them inefficient when applied to large image collections. Sequential-reconstruction approaches reduce this cost but sacrifice reconstruction quality. We introduce ZipMap, a stateful feed-forward model that achieves linear-time, bidirectional 3D reconstruction while matching or surpassing the accuracy of quadratic-time methods. ZipMap employs test-time training layers to zip an entire image collection into a compact hidden scene state in a single forward pass, enabling reconstruction of over 700 frames in under 10 seconds on a single H100 GPU, more than $20\times$ faster than state-of-the-art methods such as VGGT. Moreover, we demonstrate the benefits of having a stateful representation in real-time scene-state querying and its extension to sequential streaming reconstruction.

Feed-Forward 3D Scene Modeling: A Problem-Driven Perspective

cs.CV · 2026-04-15 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

The paper proposes a problem-driven taxonomy for feed-forward 3D scene modeling that groups methods by five core challenges: feature enhancement, geometry awareness, model efficiency, augmentation strategies, and temporal-aware modeling.
