InFlux++: Real and Synthetic Data for Estimating Dynamic Camera Intrinsics

Camera intrinsics are vital for recovering 3D structure from 2D video. However, most 3D algorithms assume fixed intrinsics throughout a video, an assumption that often fails for real-world in-the-wild videos. Consequently, estimating per-frame intrinsics from RGB images is critical for making 3D methods robust to videos with dynamic intrinsics. InFlux previously advanced this research direction by establishing the first real-world benchmark with per-frame ground truth intrinsics for dynamic intrinsics videos. Nevertheless, existing methods remain inaccurate due to two obstacles: (i) training data is scarce and lacks intrinsics diversity; and (ii) benchmarks, including InFlux, have limited scene and camera motion diversity, making it difficult to properly evaluate methods. To address both gaps, we present InFlux++, consisting of two components. InFlux++ Synth is a large-scale procedurally generated synthetic video dataset with 441K+ annotated frames from 1841 high-resolution videos, providing accurate per-frame ground truth intrinsics for training dynamic intrinsics prediction models; a subset also includes per-frame pose, depth, and normals. The videos feature rich intrinsics diversity through changes in camera zoom and focus, as well as dynamic objects and realistic rendering effects such as lens distortion and defocus blur. InFlux++ Real is a large-scale real-world benchmark that extends InFlux with 514K+ newly captured frames across 334 high-resolution videos, spanning a wider range of scenes and camera motions. Finetuning existing intrinsics prediction methods on InFlux++ Synth consistently improves focal length estimation across both InFlux++ Real and InFlux, suggesting that synthetic supervision is promising for RGB-based intrinsics prediction.
