‼️ Major update to the #ACEZero code base. We added the capabilities of the #ICCV2025 paper on Scene Coordinate Reconstruction Priors.

Gives you, e.g., a RGB-D version of ACE0. In the snipped below, I jointly reconstruct multiple RGB-D scans of ScanNet.

Code is out. We provide the pre-trained ACE-G model, as well as code to replicate the paper results, and to evaluate ACE-G on new scenes. #ICCV2025

Hi everyone. Can we please stop naming methods in leetspeak? It slows down my writing - it is a skill I happily abandoned 20 years ago.

After next week, I REALLY need a break from PowerPoint.
Looking forward to a busy #ICCV2025.

I will give three (very different) talks at workshops and tutorials, see info below.

We also present two papers, ACE-G and SCR Priors.

And it's the 10th (!) anniversary of the R6D workshop, which we co-organize.

Bruns et al., "ACE-G: Improving Generalization of Scene Coordinate Regression Through Query Pre-Training"

Train a scene coordinate regressor with "map codes" (ie, trainable inputs) so that you can train one generalizable regressor. Then, find these "map codes" to localize.

🌟 Scene Coordinate Reconstruction Priors at #ICCV2025 🌟

Can we learn what a successful reconstruction looks like, and use this knowledge when reconstructing new scenes?

🔥 ACE-G, the next evolutionary step of ACE at #ICCV2025 🔥

We disentangle coordinate regression and latent map representation which lets us pre-train the regressor to generalize from mapping data to difficult query images.

I think it is a great time to have such a tutorial again. As we see competitive RANSAC-free approaches arise, it is worth looking back - and looking forward.
For those going to @iccv.bsky.social, welcome to our RANSAC tutorial on October 2025 with

Whenever I do a voice over, I realize that I sound like Arnold Schwarzenegger when I say "coordinate". Unfortunately, in my line of work, I have to say "coordinate" a lot...

Great to have Kwang on Bluesky! (And quite flattering that this is his first post 😳)
Barroso-Laguna et al., "A Scene is Worth a Thousand Features: Feed-Forward Camera Localization from a Collection of Image Features"

When contexting your feed-forward 3D point-map estimator, don't use full image pairs -- just randomly subsample! -> fast compute, more images.

Small but important quality of life update by @rerun.io: Customizable frustum colors. Finally we can distinguish estimates and ground truth in the same 3D view ;)

Here we go again 😅 This time I’m planning to take a more senior role to help mentor the next gen of publicity chairs. Please consider volunteering!
#CVPR2026 is looking for Publicity Chairs! The role includes working as part of a team to share conference updates across social media (X, Bluesky, etc.) and answering community questions.

Interested? Check out the self-nomination form in the thread.

Recovering 6D Object Pose - Looking forward to the R6D workshop at #ICCV2025 in Hawaii! (not looking forward to the jet lag)

The accompanying challenge is still open for submissions until Oct 1st. And the workshop also still accepts non-proceeding paper submission!

This is 100% true, including the H100 being 12.3 km away.
Did you know in Germany, there are signs in every city indicating the way to the closest H100, in case of an upcoming deadline?
