What VGGT Knows About Overlap: Probing Geometric Foundation Models for Co-Visibility

A fundamental challenge in 3D reconstruction and robotic localization is co-visibility: determining which image pairs share overlapping visible surfaces, particularly in scenarios with minimal overlap. We demonstrate that VGGT implicitly encodes co-visibility as an emergent behavior: without any supervision for this task, its internal representations exhibit a clear hierarchical structure mirroring that of large language models, i.e. early layers build a 3D-aware scene representation, while…
