DINOcular: Self-Supervised Visuospatial Representations
We introduce a self-supervised framework for learning joint visuospatial representations from RGB-D observations. While modern vision foundation models are trained almost exclusively on RGB images, many embodied systems have access to explicit depth sensing, which provides geometric information that monocular inputs cannot recover. Our method integrates depth-derived geometric priors with a visual backbone through inter-patch and intra-patch fusion, enabling the model to encode both appearance and spatial structure efficiently. The resulting representation shows promising improvements on 3D awareness while preserving semantic transfer: it outperforms prior methods of comparable scale on m...
