Abstract
Video generation and feed-forward 3D reconstruction typically use separate representations, requiring RGB decoding and visual re-encoding to recover geometry from generated latents. We propose Latent Bridge, which connects video generative latent spaces with geometric feature spaces to directly predict 3D geometry from video latents. We develop representation-specific bridges for Wan2.1 and V-RAE, enabling feed-forward prediction of cameras, depth, and 3D point clouds without the intermediate RGB pathway. Each bridge is trained on RGB videos through feature distillation, while the video encoder and geometry model remain frozen. Training requires neither ground-truth geometry nor execution of the downstream geometric aggregator or prediction heads. At inference, the same video latents support both RGB decoding and geometry prediction. The same trained bridge can be reused for image-to-video and text-to-video generation within the same video latent space, without bridge retraining. Experiments on Co3Dv2 and WildRGB-D demonstrate competitive geometric reconstruction quality, efficient end-to-end generation and reconstruction, and faster latent-to-geometry decoding, highlighting latent alignment as a practical and reusable interface between video generation and 3D reconstruction.
