CSS-BA: Gate-Guided Column Space Search for Bundle Adjustment

Ayano Kaneda, Takafumi Taketomi, Shugo Yamaguchi, Shigeo Morishima

Bundle adjustment (BA) remains a critical refinement module for image-based 3D reconstruction and continues to improve geometric accuracy even in learning-based pipelines. However, in low-parallax and near-rotational regimes, classical Schur-based Levenberg--Marquardt (LM) often becomes ill-conditioned and yields unreliable pose and calibration estimates. We propose Gate-Guided CSS-BA, a solver-side modification of Schur-LM that preserves the classical BA objective and trust-region framework while constraining each update to a geometrically informed low-dimensional subspace. By integrating Column Space Search (CSS) with geometry-aware gating, the method stabilizes the Schur-LM update without altering the estimation problem. In contrast to keyframe or state-selection approaches, all camera and point parameters remain in the optimization problem; only the update direction is restricted. The method serves as a drop-in replacement for existing BA pipelines. Experiments on both generic and challenging weak-geometry scenarios show more stable optimization, improved relative pose accuracy, and competitive calibration behavior while maintaining reprojection quality.

Pixel-space diffusion models aim to learn an end-to-end generator directly over raw pixels. This is challenging because a single model must capture both global structure and local texture in the same high-dimensional space. While recent work improves pixel diffusion through alter…
