Researchers have developed RayTun3R, a novel method to adapt existing 3D foundation models for use with fisheye camera imagery. These models, which typically perform well with standard pinhole cameras, degrade significantly when presented with the wider field of view from fisheye lenses. RayTun3R addresses this by making minimal adjustments to lightweight components of the pretrained models, specifically those related to positional encoding and prediction-grid coordinates, while keeping the core network fixed. This parameter-efficient approach, requiring only 10,752 trainable parameters, can be learned quickly and applied to subsequent frames without increasing inference time, leading to substantial reductions in rotation error.
