摘要

Feed-forward models regress dense 3D point trajectories directly from monocular video, yet the residual after global alignment is substantial and lacks a structural explanation. Measured on dynamic query points across models and datasets, the error concentrates along the view direction, while the scale correction each motion group requires differs. The predicted displacement direction nevertheless supports reliable grouping, with a median angle far below the 90° random baseline. The systematic part of the residual is therefore a family of radial degrees of freedom per motion group, along directions 2D observations cannot constrain. We call it group-wise view inconsistency. We present GAUGE (Group-wise Adaptive Unsupervised Gauge Estimation), a training-free and model-agnostic post-hoc module. It recovers motion groups from direction consistency and spatial connectivity, then estimates a per-frame radial scale and group-level translation from 1% to 5% metric anchors, four degrees of freedom per group and frame. On dynamic query points of eight trackers, including D4RT, 4RC and SM4RT, our correction lowers endpoint error by 15.1% to 62.6% over the uncorrected predictions, while spending the same anchors on gradient fine-tuning improves the same models by only -1.1% to 15.2%.
