Researchers have introduced FoundationGeo, a novel two-stage framework designed to improve monocular metric geometry estimation. The system first learns an affine-invariant geometry model using DINOv3 and a large, curated dataset, achieving strong cross-domain generalization. It then incorporates pixel-wise calibration fields for metric alignment and bias correction, resulting in metrically consistent 3D point maps. A key finding is the impact of camera intrinsic coverage, particularly focal length distribution, on zero-shot generalization, which is addressed by synthesizing data with a Blender-based engine to enhance robustness.
