TL;DR

AnchorWeave is introduced, a memory-augmented video generation framework that replaces a single misaligned global memory with multiple clean local geometric memories and learns to reconcile their cross-view inconsistencies.

Abstract

Maintaining spatial world consistency over long horizons remains a central challenge for camera-controllable video generation. Existing memory-based approaches often condition generation on globally reconstructed 3D scenes by rendering anchor videos from the reconstructed geometry in the history. However, reconstructing a global 3D scene from multiple views inevitably introduces cross-view misalignment, as pose and depth estimation errors cause the same surfaces to be reconstructed at slightly different 3D locations across views. When fused, these inconsistencies accumulate into noisy geometry that contaminates the conditioning signals and degrades generation quality. We introduce AnchorWeave, a memory-augmented video generation framework that replaces a single misaligned global memory with multiple clean local geometric memories and learns to reconcile their cross-view inconsistencies. To this end, AnchorWeave performs coverage-driven local memory retrieval aligned with the target trajectory and integrates the selected local memories through a multi-anchor weaving controller during generation. Extensive experiments demonstrate that AnchorWeave significantly improves long-term scene consistency while maintaining strong visual quality, with ablation and analysis studies further validating the effectiveness of local geometric conditioning, multi-anchor control, and coverage-driven retrieval.

Geometry as Address: Routing Attention to Visual Memory for Long-Horizon Camera-Controlled Video Generation

Long-horizon camera-controlled video generation requires recovering previously observed content from an ever-growing visual history. Existing approaches either search historical context implicitly or reconstruct it into persistent 3D memory, facing inefficient memory access or accumulated geometric errors. Our key insi...

Keepsake: Selective Spatial Memory for Long-Horizon Video Generation

Long-horizon camera-controlled video generation relies on persistent memory to maintain scene consistency. Existing systems follow two strategies to achieve this consistency. Full-history approaches retain all generated observations, causing unbounded storage and retrieval costs. Selective-construction approaches reduc...
