Manifold4D introduces a new denoising strategy for video re‑shooting that injects a rendered point‑cloud directly into the initial noise manifold, eliminating the need for the render to be an explicit conditioning stream during denoising. This approach allows the network to rely solely on the source video as a visual condition, improving camera‑control accuracy on the DAVIS‑Traj benchmark and Vista4D set, with significant reductions in rotation and translation errors while maintaining video fidelity. User studies confirm enhanced trajectory following and dynamic consistency, especially for large yaw amplitudes and even when the render is corrupted.

Rendering views using 3D scene representations such as Gaussian Splatting (3DGS), Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF), meshes, or even point clouds produces artifacts when input views are sparse or target v...
The paper introduces 4DStreamCtrl, a system that unifies camera motion, object trajectories, and depth into a single 3D point‑track representation, enabling joint control, depth editing, and motion transfer in a single forward pass. By mining in‑the‑wild video for 3D motion supervision and encoding it with a lightweight Geometric Motion Head, the authors train a causal streaming student that can generate arbitrarily long videos in just four denoising steps, achieving 20 FPS on a single high‑end GPU for 480p video. This approach outperforms prior camera‑only, 2D, and offline‑3D methods in motion‑control precision while maintaining temporal coherence over hundreds of frames, thereby enabling interactive 4D‑controllable streaming generation for the first time.

arXiv:2601. 09881v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large video diffusion and flow models have achieved remarkable success in high-quality video generation, but their use in real-time interactive applications remains limited due to their inefficient multi-step sampling process.

The paper introduces CamTrol++, a training‑free method that stabilizes camera‑controlled novel view synthesis from a single image by decomposing large camera motions into small autoregressive steps, thereby limiting per‑step distortion and error accumulation. It also incorporates geometry‑constrained spatial attention, low‑frequency appearance anchoring, and a registration‑free warping pipeline to further enhance stability. Experiments on RealEstate10K and MegaScene demonstrate improved temporal and geometric consistency, better downstream 3D reconstruction quality, and higher generation efficiency, even for long 56‑frame sequences and under depth corruption.

SpatialCrafter introduces a two‑stage framework for single‑image world modeling that first generates a global 3D proxy using a Point‑anchored Sparse Structure Flow module, then refines appearance with a Generative Deferred Refiner built on a video diffusion model. The method incorporates Parallel Geometry Injection and Proxy‑Aware Corruption training to integrate the proxy without disrupting the pretrained generative manifold, and it is evaluated on a newly constructed dataset of 115K scenes. Experiments demonstrate that SpatialCrafter outperforms existing approaches, reducing long‑term drift and maintaining consistency under rapid camera motion and extreme viewpoints.

The paper introduces 4DGS-Fixer, an iterative refinement framework that uses a video diffusion model to enhance sparse-view 4D Gaussian Splatting for dynamic scene synthesis. It first fuses multi-view depth maps into dense point clouds for better geometric initialization, then applies a pretrained video restoration model to refine rendered sequences, providing pseudo-supervision for further refinement. Experiments on a benchmark dataset show the method outperforms existing baselines, achieving nearly a 2 dB PSNR improvement.

arXiv:2608. 10544v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image restoration is fundamentally constrained by the tradeoff between distortion and perception: minimizing pixel-wise error yields over-smoothed results, whereas optimizing for perceptual realism often introduces structural deviations.

Streaming autoregressive diffusion models enable real-time, long-horizon video generation, but their training objectives optimize local frame prediction rather than the geometry and dynamics of a coherent world: long rollouts accumulate geometric drift and degrade into static or unnatural motion. Recent bidirectional approaches address this problem using rewards signals built upon 3D Gaussian-Splatting reconstruction.
arXiv:2606. 14732v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autoregressive video diffusion models enable streaming generation but often degrade over long rollouts: static scene layouts drift, while mechanisms that improve spatial stability tend to suppress motion, causing natural flows such as water, fire, or smoke to stagnate.
