[1/6] Recent models like DUSt3R generalize well across viewpoints, but performance drops on aerial-ground pairs. At #CVPR2025, we propose AerialMegaDepth (, a hybrid dataset combining mesh renderings with real ground images (MegaDepth) to bridge this gap.

Ground-aerial 3D prediction is tough! @zhiwen_fan_'s work highlights the struggle for existing models (DUSt3R/MASt3R/VGGT/etc.), indicating that much work still needs to be done in this area. At #CVPR2025, we will be presenting AerialMegaDepth (, a hybrid.

[5/6] Improved novel view synthesis: ZeroNVS, when fine-tuned on AerialMegaDepth, shows clear gains in both visual quality and viewpoint accuracy when synthesizing extreme aerial-to-ground viewpoint changes.

[4/6] Through a mix of real and mesh-rendered training pairs, finetuning DUSt3R/MASt3R on AerialMegaDepth boosts aerial-ground reconstruction. This enables a neat capability: merging non-overlap ground images into a shared 3D scene using aerial views as a "map"/global context.

[3/6] Using classical SfM, we co-register pseudo-synthetic aerial renderings from 3D meshes (Google Earth) with real ground images from MegaDepth. Result: AerialMegaDepth w/ 132K images in 137 scenes with poses/intrinsics/depths in a unified frameโ€”suitable for learning 3D tasks!

[2/6] Why do models fail on aerial-ground pairs?. A key reason is the lack of co-registered training data. Datasets like MegaDepth contain mostly ground or aerial images โ€” but not both. Finetuning DUSt3R on AerialMegaDepth boosts accuracy from <5% to ~56% (rotation error < 5ยฐ).
