10.48550/arXiv.2603.26599A latent geometry-guided framework for post-training video diffusion models to achieve world-consistent generation with improved camera stability and geometric coherence.
Abstract
Large-scale video diffusion models achieve impressive visual quality, yet often fail to preserve geometric consistency. Prior approaches improve consistency either by augmenting the generator with additional modules or applying geometry-aware alignment. However, architectural modifications can compromise the generalization of internet-scale pretrained models, while existing alignment methods are limited to static scenes and rely on RGB-space rewards that require repeated VAE decoding, incurring substantial compute overhead and failing to generalize to highly dynamic real-world scenes. To preserve the pretrained capacity while improving geometric consistency, we propose VGGRPO (Visual Geometry GRPO), a latent geometry-guided framework for geometry-aware video post-training. VGGRPO introduces a Latent Geometry Model (LGM) that stitches video diffusion latents to geometry foundation models, enabling direct decoding of scene geometry from the latent space. By constructing LGM from a geometry model with 4D reconstruction capability, VGGRPO naturally extends to dynamic scenes, overcoming the static-scene limitations of prior methods. Building on this, we perform latent-space Group Relative Policy Optimization with two complementary rewards: a camera motion smoothness reward that penalizes jittery trajectories, and a geometry reprojection consistency reward that enforces cross-view geometric coherence. Experiments on both static and dynamic benchmarks show that VGGRPO improves camera stability, geometry consistency, and overall quality while eliminating costly VAE decoding, making latent-space geometry-guided reinforcement an efficient and flexible approach to world-consistent video generation.

VGGRPO introduces a Latent Geometry Model (LGM) that stitches video diffusion latents to geometry foundation models, enabling direct decoding of scene geometry from the latent space.
This is a core technical contribution explicitly described in the abstract and methodology section.
partial
By constructing LGM from a geometry model with 4D reconstruction capability, VGGRPO naturally extends to dynamic scenes, overcoming the static-scene limitations of prior methods.
The abstract and methodology clearly state this extension and its advantage over previous work.
partial
we perform latent-space Group Relative Policy Optimization with two complementary rewards: a camera motion smoothness reward that penalizes jittery trajectories, and a geometry reprojection consistency reward that enforces cross-view geometric coherence.
This is a key aspect of the VGGRPO framework, detailed in the abstract and methodology.
partial
Experiments on both static and dynamic benchmarks show that VGGRPO improves camera stability, geometry consistency, and overall quality while eliminating costly VAE decoding, making latent-space geometry-guided reinforcement an efficient and flexible approach to world-consistent video generation.
The abstract summarizes the experimental results, and Figure 1 visually supports these claims.
partial
making latent-space geometry-guided reinforcement an efficient and flexible approach to world-consistent video generation.
The abstract highlights the efficiency gain by avoiding VAE decoding, which is a significant technical improvement.
partial
while existing alignment methods are limited to static scenes and rely on RGB-space rewards that require repeated VAE decoding, incurring substantial compute overhead and failing to generalize to highly dynamic real-world scenes.
This is a clear statement of limitations of prior work, used to motivate the proposed method.
partial
RGB-based rewards are also sensitive to decoding noise and low-level pixel variations (Go et al., 2026; Mi et al., 2025), further weakening the optimization signals.
This is stated as a drawback of previous methods, explaining why a latent-space approach is beneficial.
