With the emergence of various pre-trained vision and language models, computer vision is shifting from narrow-domain to open-domain recognition. The construction of a more powerful yet general keypoint detection (GKD) model to support diverse tasks has become increasingly important in the field. To this end, we firstly present a large-scale unified keypoint dataset called MegaKPT. The dataset is composed of over 1.3 million diverse object instances from twenty-nine existing datasets, and enjoys high-quality unified annotations with keypoint text descriptions. Based on MegaKPT, we develop GKDT, a simple, flexible and powerful DINOv3 based Transformer model for General Keypoint Detection. Our GKDT supports visual prompts, text prompts, or both. To enhance model training, we also propose a suite of useful strategies such as mix-modal prompted training and dynamic importance sampling. By testing over 22 test sets with seen or unseen objects, our single GKDT model shows strong performance and generality in detecting keypoints on broad categories, with most categories over 90\% PCK@0.1 accuracy, offering high practical applicability to real-world problems. The dataset, models, and codes will be released at https://github.com/AlanLuSun/General-Keypoint-Detection.

In the era of satellite constellations, multi-view optical satellite imagery is pivotal for Earth Observation (EO) and high-quality Digital Surface Model (DSM) reconstruction. Although feed-forward 3D foundation models have transformed computer vision, their deployment in satellite remote sensing is inherently constrained by the structural discrepancy between implicit perspective assumptions and explicit orbital pushbroom geometry. This geometric incongruity is further compounded by pronounced view-set heterogeneity. We present EO-VGGT, a framework that adapts a frozen perspective-driven model to orbital observations via explicit physical geometry embedding.First, the Geometry-Correlation Constrained Selection (GCCS) strategy prunes sub-optimal observations by balancing geometric diversity and radiometric consistency to optimize the input sequence. Second, a Sensor-Ray Encoder (SRE) parameterizes pixel-level pushbroom lines of sight derived from the Rational Function Model (RFM) into high-dimensional space-geometric tokens, reconciling the mathematical discrepancy between central projection and orbital kinematics. Third, a lightweight Ray-Pointing-Aware Adapter (RPAA) employs gated residual blocks to integrate these tokens directly into the frozen transformer backbone. Our findings underscore that integrating explicit physical geometry with optimized view selection is essential for robust feed-forward satellite 3D reconstruction.
