arXiv:2609.40244v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mobile robots and vehicles carry synchronized multi-camera rigs, yet many streaming 3D foundation models are designed for monocular input, leaving efficient use of rig geometry a challenge. We present StreamRig, a freeze-and-stream framework that builds causal streaming odometry for calibrated rigs on a frozen multi-view 3D foundation model. The frozen front-end jointly perceives the synchronized views using rig calibration. A Rig-Resampler compresses their features, a CausalBridge applies causal attention with a key-value cache, and a lightweight head regresses rig poses. A periodic re-anchoring protocol supports stable pose estimation over long sequences. Only these modules are trained, 74.6M parameters in total, with relative poses as the sole supervision. Our two-stage training strategy combines group relocalization pretraining with causal rig training to transfer the geometric priors of the frozen front-end and the alignment ability of the pretrained modules to streaming odometry. We evaluate on NCLT, TartanGround, KITTI-360, and our self-collected humanoid-robot dataset ZJH, where training uses only simulation and real-world evaluation is zero-shot. Across all four datasets, StreamRig achieves lower translation and rotation drift than the evaluated non-oracle monocular streaming and rig-aware offline models, while maintaining low inference cost. Ablations and controlled camera-count experiments identify the sources of these gains. We further examine how longer training windows affect inference over longer horizons.
