Researchers have developed a novel two-stage optimization framework for dense dynamic scene reconstruction and camera pose estimation from multi-view videos. This approach decouples the problem into robust camera tracking and dense depth refinement, addressing limitations of prior methods that require single-camera input or rigidly mounted rigs. The framework utilizes a spatiotemporal connection graph for consistent scale and robust tracking, enhanced by a wide-baseline initialization strategy. It further refines depth and poses through dense inter- and intra-camera consistency optimization using wide-baseline optical flow. A new dataset, MultiCamRobolab, was also introduced to benchmark the method against state-of-the-art feed-forward models. AI
