arXiv:2606.19805v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transferring the camera motion of a reference video to a freshly generated one lets creators reuse cinematic moves. Yet reference and target often live at incompatible scales -- a sweep across a galaxy versus a nudge across a desk -- and naively reusing the recovered trajectory yields either imperceptible or violently exaggerated motion. We trace this to a geometric fact: translation-induced image motion scales as ||T||/Z, so a monocular trajectory is meaningful only up to a depth-scale gauge. We distill this into the Parallax Number Pi = ||Del
The continuous advancements in AI and computer vision necessitate innovative solutions for real-world applications like cinematic content creation, where existing techniques often fail due to scale discrepancies.
This development allows for more seamless and realistic transfer of camera motion across vastly different scales, which has significant implications for virtual production, content generation, and robotics.
The introduction of a 'gauge-invariant parallax number' provides a robust mathematical framework to address scale compatibility issues in motion transfer, enabling better integration of diverse visual data.
