动态场景重建通常在观察时间窗口内进行评估,但在增强现实、机器人交互和预期规划等应用中,需要获取超出观察范围的未来表面几何。为此,本文提出了FutureSurf,一个控制性基准和数据集,用于未来时间的表面重建,确保了未来真实值的准确性和可验证性。该方法在序列的前75%进行训练,并通过Chamfer距离对提取的每帧表面进行评分,报告绝对未来Chamfer距离作为主要评分指标。数据集包含八种分析定义的受控运动,包括三个可验证控制,提供了每帧的真实网格。实验结果表明,现有方法在可预测的未来场景中存在显著的性能差距。

📄 摘要(原文)

Dynamic-scene reconstruction is almost always evaluated inside the observed time window, yet deployment settings such as AR overlays, robot interaction, and anticipatory planning need the future surface: the geometry at times beyond those captured. No standard benchmark measures this. We introduce FutureSurf, a controlled diagnostic benchmark and dataset for future-time surface reconstruction that trades scene diversity for exact future ground truth and falsification controls. A method trains on the observed first 75% of a sequence; we score its extracted per-frame surface on the held-out future by Chamfer distance, reporting absolute future CD as the primary score and the future/observed gap as a diagnostic. The dataset contains eight analytically defined controlled motions, including three falsification controls, with exact per-frame ground-truth meshes. We also provide a ground-truth-side recoverability oracle. The release includes split files, scoring code, a benchmark card, and Croissant metadata. On the controlled motions, the DG-Mesh backbone leaves a 2.7-4.1$\times$ gap even for futures predictable in principle (four of five recoverable from observed motion by a fixed rule), while the falsification controls behave as designed (the surface-invariant motion shows no gap). Beyond the contributed dataset, the gap persists across six animated DG-Mesh asset scenes and a second backbone, Deformable-3DGS (2.0-6.6$\times$; both share a deformation-MLP temporal model). The benchmark also shows that future rendering quality and future-surface accuracy are statistically decoupled, so the novel-view-synthesis metrics the field reports do not track future geometry. The future error is structured, concentrating where the surface moves. The dataset, evaluation toolkit, and scoring code are available on Hugging Face and GitHub (https://github.com/Ricky-S/futuresurf).
