Rethinking 3D Noise: Learning 3D-Aware Video Priors via Optimization-Free Morphological Perturbations

The paper introduces 3D Morphological Perturbations, an optimization‑free regularizer for 3D representations such as NeRF and 3D Gaussian Splatting. By treating each Gaussian as a pixel‑like element, the method applies scale, rotation, and pruning perturbations to preserve spatial consistency across views, eliminating the need for per‑scene optimization during dataset curation. Experiments on a lightweight video diffusion sandbox and a 14B‑parameter video model show that the approach improves geometric priors, reduces mean depth error by 12.5% over state‑of‑the‑art 3D artifact refiners, and boosts downstream robotics policy success rates by up to 8.0% on three manipulation tasks.

GaussVid: Sparse-View Gaussian Splatting with 3D-Aware Video Diffusion Priors

GaussVid introduces a 3D-aware video restoration framework that enhances sparse-view 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) reconstructions. By creating a large-scale 3DGS video dataset and employing a camera-conditioned geometric prior anchored on the first and last frames, the method injects spatial structure into video generation, ensuring geometrically grounded restoration across viewpoints. Experiments demonstrate superior pixel- and structure-level fidelity (PSNR/SSIM) and improved multi-view consistency compared to other video-prior restoration methods, while maintaining competitive perceptual quality (LPIPS).

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.

Bi-FlowGS: Bridging Generative View Completion and Gaussian Geometry through Bidirectional Flow Co-Refinement

Bi-FlowGS introduces a bidirectional co-refinement framework that links generative view completion with 3D Gaussian Splatting geometry. It employs Video-to-Geometry Flow Distillation (V2G) to transfer temporal correspondence from restored videos into Gaussian geometry, mitigating the Geometry Cheating problem. Simultaneously, Geometry-to-Video Flow-Guided Restoration (G2V) uses the current 3DGS geometry to guide temporally consistent video restoration, creating a loop where restored videos and optimized geometry iteratively improve each other, leading to better rendering quality and geometric consistency on wide-baseline and 360° benchmarks.
