Trust3R: ICML 2026 Paper Adds Evidential Uncertainty to Feed-Forward 3D Reconstruction
rsasaki0109 · x · 2026-09-12
- The author introduces Trust3R, a trust-aware feed-forward 3D reconstruction framework accepted to ICML 2026.
- Pain point: geometric foundation models like DUSt3R and MASt3R predict dense pointmaps from uncalibrated images in one forward pass, but their per-pixel confidence is heuristic — no probabilistic grounding, and downstream alignment, fusion, and SLAM modules get no calibrated signal.
- Method: pair a lightweight gated residual mean refinement with evidential learning under a Normal-Inverse-Wishart (NIW) prior; marginalization yields a closed-form multivariate Student-t predictive distribution, giving probabilistically grounded pointmap uncertainty with moderate inference overhead.
