Seeing Across Skies and Streets: Feedforward 3D Reconstruction from Satellite, Drone, and Ground Images

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2605.07978v1 Announce Type: new Cross-view localization classically asks: where does this ground image lie on the satellite tile? Existing methods are typically limited to 3-DoF estimates -- an $(x,y)$ position and a yaw angle -- because nadir satellite imagery provides no direct cues for roll, pitch, or altitude, forcing a reliance on planar-motion and zero-tilt assumptions. These assumptions break on real terrain with slopes, ramps, and tilted camera mounts. To overcome this, we
