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.

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.

PRISM: Feed-Forward Single-Image 3D Reconstruction via Geometric Warp-Residual Modeling

Reconstructing 3D scenes from a single image is a fundamental challenge in computer vision, with broad applications in virtual reality, robotics, and content creation. Recent methods achieve outstanding performance by leveraging camera-controlled video diffusion models, but rely on iterative diffusion sampling, which greatly limits their practical deployment.

Revisiting Multi-View Stereo: A Sequence-to-Sequence Formulation

The paper proposes a new sequence-to-sequence formulation for multi-view stereo (MVS) that jointly predicts 3D geometry for all input views using a global transformer architecture. It introduces ray‑map embeddings to inject camera parameters into image tokens and a unified global cost volume to capture 3D structure across all views. Experiments on public benchmarks demonstrate state‑of‑the‑art performance, outperforming both traditional MVS and feed‑forward reconstruction baselines.

ASV3D: Adapting Diffusion-Based Single-View 3D Reconstruction with Extra Imagery

ASV3D is a framework that adapts diffusion-based single-view 3D reconstruction to incorporate an additional image at test time. It offers a zero‑shot adaptation that improves reconstruction quality without retraining, and an optimized adaptation that uses contrastive learning to enhance visual fidelity and cross‑view consistency. The method is applied to two state‑of‑the‑art pipelines, showing consistent gains in accuracy and robustness on benchmark and real‑world datasets.
