Squaring-the-Sphere introduces CubeAtlas, a new panoramic representation that unifies all cubemap faces into a single canvas, preserving perspective geometry while enabling seamless panorama assembly. The framework leverages a pretrained diffusion transformer with a layout‑aware sparse attention mask to reduce irrelevant token interactions, achieving higher quality than equirectangular projection with lower computational cost. Additionally, a training‑free super‑resolution and fusion scheme enhances fine details before converting to a final ERP panorama, resulting in improved geometric fidelity, cross‑view consistency, and high‑resolution visual quality across benchmarks.

GeoPano is a feed‑forward framework that reconstructs geometrically accurate 3D point clouds from a single panoramic image. It introduces a panoramic‑aware attention aggregator with a novel Pano‑Attention mechanism to exploit spherical geometry and reduce cross‑view inconsistencies. A hybrid supervision strategy enforces both fine‑grained local detail in perspective views and global structural coherence in spherical space, leading to superior reconstruction accuracy, consistency, and visual fidelity compared to prior state‑of‑the‑art methods.

Scaling 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) to large outdoor scenes is costly in both data acquisition and computation. Adopting panoramic images with equirectangular projection (ERP) can reduce capture effort via their full $360^{\circ}$ field of view, yet the resulting omnipresent visibility invalidates existing partitioning strategies that rely on local camera frustums, causing block-wise optimization to degenerate into global training.
The paper introduces a dual‑projection framework for rectifying 360° panoramic images, combining a convolutional neural network that processes equirectangular projections with a vision transformer that handles cubemap projections. Cross‑projection feature transformation and multi‑level fusion allow the two representations to interact, supporting collaborative inclination estimation and upright panorama generation. Experiments on SUN360 and M3D demonstrate significant accuracy gains, achieving 65.9% and 85.2% within a 1° error threshold and low Fréchet Inception Distance scores.

We study the challenging problem of novel view video synthesis from single images or monocular videos. Existing methods, which operate under the assumption that pre-trained video models lack native novel view synthesis capability and enforce view alignment via camera conditioning, task-specific fine-tuning, or stepwise hard denoising guidance, often suffer from artifacts and compromised global scene consistency.

ManiFusion is a backbone‑agnostic framework that boosts the throughput of diffusion models by fusing multiple samples into a single denoising evaluation and then unfusing them afterward. It introduces Trajectory‑Fusion Scheduling to dynamically adjust fusion factors across sampling stages, allowing shared representations while preserving individual generation paths. The method works with various diffusion families, including U‑Net and transformer backbones in pixel and latent spaces, and can be combined with existing acceleration techniques to achieve higher throughput with minimal quality loss.
