The authors introduce Foundation4D, a model that processes multi-camera driving video to estimate scene geometry, detect objects, identify occupied space and predict a renderable scene representation.

Foundation4D uses a shared visual backbone with task-specific decoders to predict camera poses, metric depth, 3D objects, semantic occupancy and Gaussian attributes, a representation used to render scenes from new viewpoints.
