Through balancing static and dynamic correspondences, the model can maintain MASt3R's power in tracking static parts of the scene but also track dynamic points successfully.
We use *no* temporal knowledge (no windows) - only pairwise matching!

My lucky day today to tour with the autonomous UK-based Wayve car!
I was impressed by how smooth to change from manual to full auto - was instantaneous!
The car manoeuvred the narrow lanes of west London calmly, confidently and with skill!
Thanks Ani Kembhavi for the opportunity
