Abstract:Video object segmentation methods like SAM2 achieve strong performance through memory-based architectures but struggle under large viewpoint changes due to reliance on appearance features. Traditional 3D instance segmentation methods address viewpoint consistency but require camera poses, depth maps, and expensive preprocessing. We introduce 3AM, a training-time enhancement that integrates 3D-aware features from MUSt3R into SAM2. Our lightweight Feature Merger fuses multi-level MUSt3R features that encode implicit geometric correspondence. Combined with SAM2's appearance features, the model achieves geometry-consistent recognition grounded in both spatial position and visual similarity. We propose a field-of-view aware sampling strategy ensuring frames observe spatially consistent object regions for reliable 3D correspondence learning. Critically, our method requires only RGB input at inference, with no camera poses or preprocessing. On challenging datasets with wide-baseline motion (ScanNet++, Replica), 3AM substantially outperforms SAM2 and extensions, achieving 90.6% IoU and 71.7% Positive IoU on ScanNet++'s Selected Subset, improving over state-of-the-art VOS methods by +15.9 and +30.4 points.

Abstract:In this work, we propose a unified representation for Super-Resolution (SR) and Image Compression, termed **Factorized Fields**, motivated by the shared principles between these two tasks. Both SISR and Image Compression require recovering and preserving fine image details--whether by enhancing resolution or reconstructing compressed data. Unlike previous methods that mainly focus on network architecture, our proposed approach utilizes a basis-coefficient decomposition to explicitly capture multi-scale visual features and structural components in images, addressing the core challenges of both tasks. We first derive our SR model, which includes a Coefficient Backbone and Basis Swin Transformer for generalizable Factorized Fields. Then, to further unify these two tasks, we leverage the strong information-recovery capabilities of the trained SR modules as priors in the compression pipeline, improving both compression efficiency and detail reconstruction. Additionally, we introduce a merged-basis compression branch that consolidates shared structures, further optimizing the compression process. Extensive experiments show that our unified representation delivers state-of-the-art performance, achieving an average relative improvement of 204.4% in PSNR over the baseline in Super-Resolution (SR) and 9.35% BD-rate reduction in Image Compression compared to the previous SOTA.
