SeamFlow: Structure-Aware Flow Matching on Edge Probabilities for Artist-Like UV Unwrapping

SeamFlow is a new generative framework for 3D surface cutting and UV unwrapping that reformulates the discrete mesh‑cutting problem as continuous flow matching in a high‑dimensional edge‑probability space. By learning a deterministic mapping from a Gaussian prior to a target seam‑probability distribution and using an evolution network to couple local topological tokens with global shape priors, SeamFlow guides smooth probability flow through ODE solving. Compared with existing autoregressive generative methods, SeamFlow improves topology awareness, eliminates 3D spatial projection errors and artificial sequential‑order bias, and achieves exceptional semantic coherence with remarkably low parameterization distortion.

TriFlow: Generating Artist-Like 3D Mesh Topology via Nearest-Vertex Vector Fields

TriFlow introduces a generative method for creating compact 3D meshes with artist‑like triangle topology directly from input geometry such as signed distance fields. It represents mesh topology as a nearest‑vertex vector field (NVF) over the surface, trains a latent flow‑matching model to synthesize this field, and then clusters surface regions to guide a constrained quadric error metric simplification. The resulting meshes closely match the input geometry while exhibiting structured, artist‑like connectivity, achieving 90% lower Chamfer Distance and an 8× speedup over state‑of‑the‑art learning‑based approaches.

Flow-Corrected Shape Optimization: Taming Manifold Drift in High-Dimensional 3D Models

Optimizing 3D shapes within the latent spaces of deep generative models is fundamental to computer assisted engineering, yet remains prone to a critical failure mode we term manifold drift: the tendency of gradient-based optimization to move latent vectors away from the manifold of valid shapes. This problem is exacerbated in state-of-the-art 3D shape generative models that operate in increasingly high-dimensional latent spaces where valid shapes occupy a vanishingly small fraction of the full space.

CoMVS-GS: Collaborative Multi-View Stereo and 3D Gaussian Splatting for Surface Reconstruction

CoMVS‑GS is a surface‑reconstruction framework that fuses Multi‑View Stereo (MVS) with 3D Gaussian splatting. It initializes Gaussian primitives from dense MVS points, uses PatchMatch‑3DGS mutual supervision to refine depths and normals, and replaces voxel‑based meshing with a Delaunay graph‑cut pipeline. Experiments on DTU, GauU‑Scene V2, and MatrixCity demonstrate competitive object‑level results and improved geometric accuracy and mesh compactness in outdoor scenes while preserving high rendering quality.
