MeSS: City Mesh-Guided Outdoor Scene Generation with Cross-View Consistent Diffusion

MeSS (Mesh-based Scene Synthesis) is a method that generates high‑quality, style‑consistent outdoor scenes using city mesh models as geometric priors. The pipeline first creates geometrically consistent sparse views with Cascaded Outpainting ControlNets, then densifies intermediate views via AGInpaint, and finally removes visual inconsistencies with GCAlign. Simultaneously, a 3D Gaussian Splatting scene is reconstructed from the mesh, enabling diverse rendering styles after synthesis.

SpatialCrafter: Single Image World Modeling with Generative 3D Proxies

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.

Skyfall-GS: Synthesizing Immersive 3D Urban Scenes from Satellite Imagery

Skyfall-GS is a hybrid framework that generates large‑scale, city‑block‑sized 3D urban scenes by combining satellite imagery for coarse geometry with open‑domain diffusion models for detailed appearance. It uses a curriculum‑driven iterative refinement to improve geometric completeness and photorealistic textures, eliminating the need for costly 3D annotations. Experiments show that Skyfall‑GS achieves better cross‑view geometry consistency and more realistic textures than existing methods.

ESC: Escaping 2D Diffusion Ambiguity with Geometric Constraints for Consistent Novel View Synthesis

The paper introduces ESC, a framework that improves 3D-consistent novel view synthesis from a single 2D image by jointly generating a target view and its depth map. By conditioning the diffusion model on the source image, source depth, and target camera rays, ESC forces the model to reason in 3D even under extreme viewpoint changes. A per‑pixel depth consistency constraint is added to enforce spatial fidelity, resulting in superior visual accuracy and spatial alignment compared to current state‑of‑the‑art methods.

LEGO: A Lifting-Free Approach for Exocentric-to-Egocentric Video Generation

The paper introduces LEGO, a lifting‑free method for generating egocentric videos from a single exocentric recording. Instead of reconstructing depth and point clouds, it trains a transformer‑based view synthesizer that directly predicts the egocentric view, providing a probabilistic correspondence map that balances structural alignment with texture averaging. This approach outperforms existing explicit pipelines and generalizes across datasets without retraining.
