arXiv:2610.01927v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Feedforward foundation models have recently shown remarkable 3D reconstruction capabilities. However, existing models exhibit large tracking drift in long-context streaming reconstruction due to error accumulation. In this paper, we revisit loop closure with streaming reconstruction foundation models to enable accurate, drift-free, kilometer-scale reconstruction. Specifically, our method detects loop candidates through global descriptor retrieval, and constructs loop-conditioned windows to estimate the relative poses between looped frames. Given the observation that our adopted streaming reconstruction backbone produces a globally consistent scale, we optimize all frame poses on the SE(3) manifold with sequential and loop closure constraints, avoiding the pose graph optimization on the Sim(3) or higher-dimensional SL(4) manifolds employed in prior works. Extensive experiments show that our method reduces drift and produces consistent geometry on kilometer-scale sequences, significantly outperforming the state of the art.
