摘要
Models such as VGGT and \pi^3 have shown strong multi-view 3D performance, but their heavy reliance on global self-attention results in high computational cost. Existing sparse-attention variants offer partial speedups, yet lack a systematic analysis of how global attention contributes to multi-view reasoning. In this paper, we first conduct an in-depth investigation of the global attention modules in VGGT and \pi^3 to better understand their roles. Our analysis reveals a clear division of roles in the alternating global-frame architecture: early global layers do not form meaningful correspondences, middle layers perform cross-view alignment, and last layers provide only minor refinements. Guided by these findings, we propose a training-free two-step acceleration scheme: (1) converting early global layers into frame attention, and (2) subsampling global attention by subsampling K/V over patch tokens with diagonal preservation and a mean-fill component. We instantiate this strategy on VGGT and \pi^3 and evaluate across standard pose and point-map benchmarks. Our method achieves substantial inference acceleration across different context lengths, yielding about 2xspeedup at 100 frames, 4--5xat 300 frames, and 8--10xat 800 frames, while matching or slightly improving the accuracy of the original models and remaining robust in extremely dense multi-view settings where prior sparse-attention baselines fail.
