GAE: Learning a Geometry-Native Latent Space for 3D-Consistent World Generation

The paper introduces the Geometry‑Native Autoencoder (GAE), a compact latent space that can be decoded into appearance, depth, camera parameters, and point maps, enabling 3D‑consistent world generation. By reparameterizing a geometry foundation model’s features, GAE replaces traditional appearance‑centric latents and improves visual quality and 3D coherence, achieving significant reductions in FVD and camera‑trajectory error on benchmark datasets. The work demonstrates that a geometry‑native latent space can serve as a shared interface between perception and generation models.

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.

Sparse auto-regressive modeling for scene generation from multi-view images

The paper introduces SPAR3S, a sparse voxel‑aligned 3D latent generative model that completes 3D scenes from sparse, unconstrained multi‑view images. It learns a compact voxel‑aligned latent space using photometric supervision via differentiable 3D Gaussian Splatting, and employs a masked autoregressive transformer to predict missing voxel occupancy and latent tokens. Experiments on synthetic indoor scenes and RealEstate10k show that SPAR3S achieves higher novel‑view quality than prior methods and generalizes to real‑world data.

Sparse auto-regressive modeling for scene generation from multi-view images

The paper introduces SPAR3S, a sparse voxel‑aligned 3D latent generative model that completes 3D scenes from sparse, unconstrained multi‑view images. By representing only occupied voxels in a compact latent space and training a masked autoregressive transformer with photometric supervision via differentiable 3D Gaussian Splatting, the method predicts missing latent tokens and spatial support, enabling efficient and spatially consistent generation of unseen regions. Experiments on synthetic indoor scenes and RealEstate10k demonstrate higher novel‑view quality and real‑world applicability compared to prior work.

RoGe: Novel View Synthesis via End-to-End Implicit Reconstruction and Generation

RoGe is a new end‑to‑end framework for novel view synthesis that jointly learns an implicit 3D scene representation and a video diffusion model. It eliminates the need for explicit 3D intermediates by querying the implicit scene with camera rays to produce geometric features that condition the diffusion model. Experiments on DL3DV show that RoGe surpasses reconstruction‑based, generation‑based, and hybrid baselines in image quality and temporal consistency, and ablations confirm the benefits of ray‑queried features and joint training.
