Argos: Adapt Rich Geometric Priors for Generalizable Online Scene-Change-Detection

We introduce Argos, which adapts GFM features for joint scene change detection and 3D reconstruction.

Key points

  • Robots operating in dynamic environments require reliable detection of how their surroundings change over time.
  • We show that the implicit 3D knowledge of Geometric Foundation Models (GFMs) provides a strong basis for addressing these limitations.
  • To address data scarcity and take a step toward a foundation model for scene change detection, we introduce a large-scale benchmark comprising two synthetic datasets and one real-world dataset, and train jointly across diverse datasets to improve cross-domain generalization.
  • We further introduce Argos-SLAM, a real-time system designed for robotics, which performs online change detection and change-aware 4D mapping.
