TrackEverything: Breaking the Horizon Barrier in Dense 3D Point Tracking
The 30-second version

Existing 3D point trackers trade off density for duration. TrackEverything overcomes this constraint by modeling videos as persistent 3D scene tracks in world coordinates. By utilizing voxel-based de-duplication to merge redundant co-located tracks, decomposing tracking into destination prediction and dynamic-only trajectory refinement, and employing 3D WAFT for efficient feature sampling, it enables dense tracking over 1,000 frames within 40 GB GPU memory. It outperforms state-of-the-art open-source dense trackers by over 20% APD on TAPVid-3D.

Key points

01

Voxel-based De-duplication

Merges co-located tracks at sliding-window boundaries to prevent redundant memory accumulation from repeating surface observations.

02

Two-stage Decomposition

Predicts destinations and static-versus-dynamic states first, decoding dense trajectories exclusively for moving physical points.

03

Efficient 3D WAFT

Replaces memory-intensive 4D correlation volumes with extremely efficient feature sampling directly within the 3D scene cloud.

04

Long Horizon Scalability

The first 3D tracking model capable of tracking all visible points in videos exceeding 1,000 frames on a single 40 GB GPU.

Why it matters

This research breaks the fundamental tradeoff in point tracking. By showing that model complexity can scale with physical 3D scene geometry rather than video duration, it introduces a highly scalable framework. This is vital for downstream tasks requiring long-term, high-fidelity spatial understanding, such as dynamic 3D reconstruction, non-rigid robot manipulation, and autonomous navigation.

Who it affects

  • AI Researcher
  • AI Developer
  • Product Manager

How to use it

  1. 1Long-horizon dynamic 3D scene reconstruction and visual editing
  2. 2Robotic manipulation of non-rigid objects requiring precise physical interaction tracking
  3. 3Advanced trajectory and motion analysis of dynamic obstacles in autonomous driving

Limitations & caveats

  • Highly dependent on the accuracy of initial 3D scene representation and depth estimation
  • Robustness may be challenged in scenes with extreme occlusions or drastic lighting variations
