An Evaluation Framework for Generating Multi-View Images of a Person in a Scene

The paper introduces a framework for generating multi‑view images of a person within a natural scene, addressing the scarcity of paired multi‑view datasets for human subjects. It evaluates existing diffusion‑based image‑editing models and finds they often hallucinate head‑turn angles, leading to inconsistent backgrounds. To overcome this, the authors propose the Head Scene Rotation Difference (HSRD) metric, which separates camera movement from head pose changes and enables reliable assessment of 3D spatial parallax for constructing high‑quality synthetic datasets.

OmniShowcase: Omnidirectional Subject-Consistent Video Generation from Multi-View Images

OmniShowcase introduces a method for generating omnidirectional videos of a specific subject from a handful of multi‑view images. It combines an automated data‑synthesis pipeline that creates training videos with diverse camera trajectories driven by the subject’s geometry, and a geometry‑conditioning technique that supplies the model with surface‑normal maps reconstructed from the reference views. The authors release Showcase‑4K, a large corpus of 3D‑asset‑based videos with 12 camera motions and 88 trajectory configurations, and ShowcaseBench, a held‑out evaluation set with source meshes and camera parameters.

Generative Cinematographer: Composing Camera and Object Motion in 3D

Generative Cinematographer (GenCine) lifts a single image into an editable 3D scene scaffold, allowing artists to jointly author camera paths and foreground motion using local 3D motion handles. The system projects these controls into guidance maps that encode handle positions and colors across frames, enabling a pretrained video model to follow camera-relative, piecewise-rigid motion without physics simulation. Training recovers controls from real videos and synthetic ground-truth geometry, and experiments demonstrate consistent camera-relative motion, improved geometric consistency, and strong controllability across diverse real-world scenes.

Video Diffusion Avatars: Taming Video Diffusion Models into Controllable 3D Avatars

Video Diffusion Avatars (VDAs) fine‑tune video diffusion models to generate photo‑realistic, multi‑view consistent avatars from a single image, allowing precise control over camera viewpoint, facial expression, and upper‑body pose. VDAs replace traditional 3D morphable models with a learned expression space, overcoming viewpoint bias through disentanglement and enabling independent control of expression, pose, and viewpoint via proxy‑mesh renderings. The method trains efficiently—34 hours on a single A100—and outperforms state‑of‑the‑art single‑image 3D avatars, improving novel‑view reenactment metrics and producing physically plausible hair dynamics, shadows, reflections, and refractions.

BooM-VVT: Boosting Mask-Free Video Virtual Try-On with Image-Level Pseudo Data

BooM-VVT is a mask‑free video virtual try‑on framework that builds on a keyframe‑driven paradigm. It uses a multi‑stage training strategy with image‑level pseudo data to learn mask‑free localization, introduces Garment‑Sensitive Keyframe Sampling to capture garment appearance, and employs Frame‑Shared 3D‑RoPE for spatiotemporal correspondence. The authors also create the OmniView dataset to support diverse camera viewpoints and tasks, achieving superior temporal consistency and garment fidelity compared to existing methods.

EgoGen: An Egocentric Synthetic Data Generator

EgoGen is a synthetic data generator designed for egocentric perception tasks, producing accurate ground‑truth training data by simulating natural human movements that steer virtual cameras. Its core is a human motion synthesis model that uses egocentric visual inputs to sense 3D environments, combined with collision‑avoiding motion primitives and a two‑stage reinforcement learning approach for closed‑loop perception and movement. The system eliminates the need for pre‑defined global paths, works in dynamic settings, and supports tasks such as mapping, localization, camera tracking, and human mesh recovery from first‑person views.
