Matrix3D: Large Photogrammetry Model All-in-One

Machine Learning Research at Apple

We present Matrix3D, a unified model that performs several photogrammetry subtasks, including pose estimation, depth prediction, and novel view synthesis using just the same model. Matrix3D utilizes a multi-modal diffusion transformer (DiT) to integrate transformations across several modalities, such as images, camera parameters, and depth maps. The key to Matrix3Ds large-scale multi-modal training lies in the incorporation of a mask learning strategy.
