OVERVIEW

One model for geometry perception

UniT is a unified feed-forward model that reformulates a wide range of geometry perception capabilities into a single framework, covering diverse view configurations, modality combinations, metric-scale perception, and long-horizon scalability. It supports both online and offline inference over an arbitrary number of views, flexibly incorporates auxiliary modalities such as camera parameters and depth maps, recovers geometry at metric scale in physical units, and maintains bounded complexity over long horizons in in-the-wild environments.
