ProMo3D: motion cues are decodable from frozen 3D foundation model tokens with 160 videos

NeurIPS-accepted ProMo3D shows that static-dynamic separation is decodable from frozen feed-forward 3D foundation model tokens (π³X, VGGT, DA3), concentrated in a low-dimensional subspace. Its Probing-based Motion Distillation (PMD) turns pairwise motion-compatibility scores into dense motion masks, trained on just 160 YouTube-VOS videos on a single 16 GB GPU. It transfers zero-shot to DAVIS, SegTrackv2 and FBMS-59, with π³X-PMD+SAM2 hitting 81.9/92.3 J-M/J-R on DAVIS17 — rivaling far heavier supervised methods like GeoMotion while being lightweight and data-efficient.
