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.

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.

JanusMesh: Fast and Zero-Shot 3D Visual Illusion Generation via Cross-Space Denoising

JanusMesh introduces a fast, training‑free framework for creating 3D visual illusion meshes that reveal different semantics from various viewpoints. The method splits generation into two stages: a cross‑space dual‑branch denoising process that aligns 3D latents with CLIP guidance and blends Signed Distance Fields for seamless geometry, followed by a view‑conditioned texture synthesis module that aggregates 2D diffusion priors onto the fused mesh. Experiments show that JanusMesh produces highly realistic, dual‑semantic 3D illustrations in only 3–5 minutes, outperforming prior approaches in geometric integrity, semantic recognizability, and efficiency.

DecomVoxel: Harnessing 3D-Native Priors with Guided In-situ Denoising Optimization for Decompositional Scene Reconstruction

DecomVoxel introduces a guided in‑situ denoising optimization that fuses 3D‑native priors with neural scene reconstruction to improve decompositional scene reconstruction. The method employs an epsilon‑based distillation loss for stable latent refinement and adaptive spatial guidance using occupied and vacant anchors with temporal annealing to reduce hallucinations and spatial drift. Experiments on Replica and ScanNet++ demonstrate that DecomVoxel outperforms state‑of‑the‑art approaches while preserving spatial layout, structural fidelity, and style‑consistent texture, yielding high‑quality textured meshes with clean topology.

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.
