| contents | We present \emph{DisFlow}, a novel framework for online scene flow estimation from distance field that enables \emph{6DoF dynamic object pose estimation}, \emph{motion tracking}, and \emph{surface reconstruction}. The scene is represented by Gaussian Process Implicit Surfaces (GPIS), with surface normals serving as derivative constraints, enabling accurate signed distance computations near the surface and gradient queries with uncertainty. With this representation as a foundation, we compute a scene flow from the distance field that describes how surface points are transported over time in consecutive frames. Through our flow, we can estimate an object's pose and motion by incrementally registering a new observed point cloud via an elegant closed-form optimisation. Unlike prior methods that operate in the camera or world frame, our approach performs probabilistic fusion directly in the \emph{object frame}, where the object remains geometrically consistent over time. The tight coupling of the DisFlow method in space and time yields dense geometry, surface normals, object pose trajectories, velocities, and uncertainty, all at real-time rates. We evaluate DisFlow on dynamic object sequences and demonstrate that it achieves accurate pose and motion tracking while simultaneously reconstructing high-quality object surfaces.
