• Abstract: Estimating the 3D trajectory of every pixel from a monocular video is crucial and promising for a comprehensive understanding of the 3D dynamics of videos. Recent monocular 3D tracking works demonstrate impressive performance, but are limited to either tracking sparse points on the first frame or a slow optimization-based framework for dense tracking. In this paper, we propose a feedforward model, called Track4World, enabling an efficient holistic 3D tracking of every pixel in the world-centric coordinate system. Built on the global 3D scene representation encoded by a VGGT-style ViT, Track4World applies a novel 3D correlation scheme to simultaneously estimate the pixel-wise 2D and 3D dense flow between arbitrary frame pairs. The estimated scene flow, along with the reconstructed 3D geometry, enables subsequent efficient 3D tracking of every pixel of this video. Extensive experiments on multiple benchmarks demonstrate that our approach consistently outperforms existing methods in 2D/3D flow estimation and 3D tracking, highlighting its robustness and scalability for real-world 4D reconstruction tasks.

  We propose to estimate point trajectories in 3D space to mitigate the issues caused by image projection. Our method, named SpatialTracker, lifts 2D pixels to 3D using monocular depth estimators. Tracking in 3D allows us to leverage as-rigid-as-possible (ARAP) constraints while simultaneously learning a rigidity embedding that clusters pixels into different rigid parts.

  We argue that this representation is limited and instead propose to guide and improve 2D tracking with an explicit object representation. Our representation tackles a complex long-term dense correspondence problem between all 3D points on the object for all video frames. The proposed optimization minimizes a novel loss function to estimate the best 3D shape, texture, and 6DoF pose.
