UniMetric: Universal Metric Scale Recovery for Visual Geometry Foundation Models

Building on this insight, we present UniMetric, a universal and training-free metric scale recovery framework for geometry foundation models, without additional sensors or task-specific metric supervision.

Key points

  • Recent advances in multimodal foundation models, exemplified by GPT-6 Astra, raise the prospect of general-purpose embodied reasoning and planning.
  • Yet visual geometry foundation models often recover scene structure and camera motion without reliable metric scale.
  • We show that uncertain size priors of familiar objects can jointly constrain a reconstruction's shared scale.
  • To evaluate metric accuracy on GFM reconstructions without ground-truth scale alignment, we introduce MetricBench, covering twelve embodied, driving, and roadside subsets with sensor-derived ground truth.
