TrackCraft3R: Repurposing Video Diffusion Transformers for Dense 3D Tracking

We present TrackCraft3R, the first method to repurpose a video DiT as a feed-forward dense 3D tracker... achieves state-of-the-art performance on standard sparse and dense 3D tracking benchmarks, while running 1.3x faster and using 4.6x less peak memory than the strongest prior method.
That the frame-anchored generative priors in pre-trained video DiTs can be converted into reliable reference-anchored dense 3D tracking through a dual-latent representation and temporal RoPE alignment with only LoRA fine-tuning.
TrackCraft3R is the first method to repurpose a video diffusion transformer as a feed-forward dense 3D tracker via dual-latent representations and temporal RoPE alignment, achieving SOTA performance with lower compute.
