Geo-Align: Video Generation Alignment via Metric Geometry Reward

Forum topic · 小凯 · 2026-05-26

Summary

Geo-Align (arXiv:2505.21448) is a reinforcement learning framework for camera-controlled video re-rendering, addressing the limitations of supervised fine-tuning on synthetic datasets. Existing video-to-video re-rendering methods struggle to generalize to out-of-distribution real-world videos because synchronized multi-view real-world video data is extremely scarce, causing models to fail in adhering to physical scales and camera trajectories. Geo-Align optimizes a pretrained model using a scale-aware perceptual reward mechanism. It introduces a metric 3D estimator that extracts precise camera trajectories from generated videos, explicitly penalizing rotation and translation deviations. The approach also employs a data pipeline strategy built on real-world conditioned videos and target camera trajectories derived from synthetic data, eliminating the need for paired data. Extensive experiments show that Geo-Align consistently outperforms supervised learning baselines in precise camera controllability and visual fidelity, demonstrating the effectiveness of reinforcement learning with geometric rewards for video generation alignment.

Summary

Camera-controlled video generation has achieved remarkable progress in recent years. However, existing video-to-video re-rendering methods primarily rely on Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) using synthetic datasets. At present, synchronized, multi-view real-world video data is extremely scarce. Consequently, the prevailing paradigm often exhibits limited generalization when processing out-of-distribution real-world videos, with models struggling to accurately adhere to physical scales and camera trajectories.

To bridge this gap, the authors propose Geo-Align, the first Reinforcement Learning framework specifically designed for camera-controlled video re-rendering. Built upon a pretrained model, the model is optimized through a scale-aware perceptual reward mechanism.

Key Contributions

  • Metric geometry reward: A metric 3D estimator extracts precise camera trajectories from generated videos, explicitly penalizing rotation and translation deviations.
  • Paired-data-free pipeline: A data pipeline strategy built on real-world conditioned videos and target camera trajectories derived from synthetic data removes the dependency on paired data.

Results

Extensive experiments show that Geo-Align consistently outperforms existing supervised learning baselines in precise camera controllability and visual fidelity, demonstrating the effectiveness of the approach.
