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.

InstantHDR is a feed-forward network that initializes high dynamic range (HDR) 3D scenes from uncalibrated multi-exposure low dynamic range (LDR) image collections in a single forward pass. It uses geometry-guided appearance modeling for multi-exposure fusion and a meta-network for scene-specific tone mapping. The authors also created a pre-training dataset, HDR-Pretrain, with 168 Blender-rendered scenes to support generalizable HDR models, achieving a speedup of about 700× over state‑of‑the‑art optimization methods while maintaining comparable quality after lightweight post‑optimization.

The paper introduces a method for progressively extending the dynamic range of an image by learning to increase it by a single exposure value first, then applying the network recurrently to achieve full HDR reconstruction. The approach is agnostic to input dynamic range, targets a bounded output domain, and utilizes RAW images with adversarial losses to produce realistic results. Memory Replay during backpropagation allows training over multiple inference stages, reducing reconstruction errors and enabling robust recovery of bright highlights in long‑tailed HDR scenes.

arXiv:2512. 04390v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Joint video super-resolution and deblurring (VSRDB) requires both efficient long-range temporal modeling and robustness to frame-wise exposure-duration variation, which changes the extent of motion blur across video frames.

OC-GS introduces an object‑centric Gaussian splatting method that refines the angle of each image while keeping a shared camera, rotation axis, and pivot for turntable reconstruction. By jointly optimizing image‑derived geometry and angles, it reconstructs objects from sparse, irregular captures and outperforms four pose‑free Gaussian splatting baselines across various view counts. Ablation studies confirm that both image‑derived angle initialization and the shared motion model are essential for the observed improvements, with real captures showing a 0.70 dB PSNR gain.

Low-light image enhancement is severely ill-posed when the input frame contains missing structure, saturated noise, and weak local contrast. Event cameras provide asynchronous brightness-change observations with high temporal resolution, but prior works often treat voxel channels as an unordered or static feature stack before fusion, rather than explicitly modeling their within-window temporal evolution, weakening the temporal evidence that makes events useful.
