AVGGT: Rethinking Global Attention for Accelerating VGGT

VGGT and π³ achieve strong multi‑view 3D reconstruction but rely heavily on global self‑attention, causing high computational cost. An analysis of the global‑attention module across layers reveals a functional split: early global layers do not form meaningful correspondences, middle layers align views, and late layers only make minor detail refinements.

Based on this insight, a training‑free two‑step acceleration is proposed:

Replace early global layers with intra‑frame (per‑frame) attention.

Sparsify the key/value tokens of the remaining global attention by sub‑sampling patch tokens, retain diagonal entries, and add a mean‑fill component.

Applied to VGGT and π³, evaluation on standard camera‑pose and point‑cloud benchmarks shows:

≈2× speedup at 100 frames

4–5× speedup at 300 frames

8–10× speedup at 800 frames

Accuracy remains comparable to the original models, with slight improvements in some cases, and robustness is maintained in high‑density multi‑view scenarios where prior sparse‑attention baselines fail.

MVP: Multiple View Prediction Improves GUI Grounding

GUI grounding models exhibit severe coordinate‑prediction instability: minor visual perturbations (e.g., a few‑pixel crop) can cause large prediction shifts, especially for high‑resolution images and small UI elements.

MVP introduces a training‑free inference enhancement that aggregates predictions from multiple carefully generated views. It consists of two modules:

Attention‑guided view generation : uses instruction‑image attention scores to automatically create diverse candidate views.

Multi‑coordinate clustering : selects the centroid of the densest spatial cluster to fuse the multi‑view predictions.

Extensive experiments on the ScreenSpot‑Pro benchmark demonstrate consistent gains:

UI‑TARS‑1.5‑7B improves to 56.1 %

GTA1‑7B improves to 61.7 %

Qwen3VL‑8B‑Instruct improves to 65.3 %

Qwen3VL‑32B‑Instruct improves to 74.0 %

Online3R: Online Learning for Consistent Sequential Reconstruction Based on Geometry Foundation Model

Sequential 3D reconstruction often suffers from inconsistency across frames. Online3R inserts lightweight visual prompts into a frozen pretrained geometry foundation model, enabling online adaptation to new scenes without modifying the core model.

To train the prompts without ground‑truth labels, a local‑global self‑supervised learning strategy is devised:

Local consistency constraint : enforces agreement between the current intermediate prediction and the fused historical result, using high‑quality pseudo‑groundtruth signals.

Global consistency constraint : applies across sparsely sampled keyframes rather than frame‑by‑frame, encouraging long‑range coherence and preventing error accumulation.

Broad experiments on several 3D reconstruction benchmarks show that Online3R consistently outperforms existing state‑of‑the‑art methods, achieving higher reconstruction consistency.
