Recent advances in neural scene representations enable photorealistic novel-view synthesis, yet most methods remain tightly coupled to a single rendering paradigm, limiting their versatility and integration with conventional graphics workflows. We introduce Floating Radiance Networks (FlaRe), a neural scene representation combining explicit ray-traceable geometry with continuous neural radiance functions.
RelightFormer is a feed‑forward generative Transformer that performs single‑ and multi‑view image relighting without explicit intrinsic property estimation. It incorporates a latent illumination module that injects target environment maps into spatial features via cross‑attention, and uses permutation‑invariant positional encodings to process unordered multi‑view inputs symmetrically. Trained on the large Laval Objaverse Dataset, the model achieves state‑of‑the‑art visual and photorealistic relighting quality, and demonstrates strong zero‑shot generalization across various relighting tasks.

The paper introduces a method that applies physically based rendering (PBR) within the latent space of variational autoencoders used in image diffusion models. By modifying the rendering equation and using a differentiable renderer, the authors can generate latent maps that guide content creation with physically accurate lighting. The approach is trained on a single rendered image and then shown to generalize to changes in scene geometry, lighting, and camera viewpoint.

Reconstructing 3D shapes from a single image remains a fundamental yet challenging problem in computer vision. Traditional monocular 3D generation pipelines typically synthesize multiple views from a single input image before applying Neural Radiance Field (NeRF)-based reconstruction.
GS-PI introduces an optimization‑decoupled framework that transforms Gaussian Splatting (GS) assets into physically based rendering (PBR) compatible Gaussian assets. By treating PBR material generation as a geometry‑conditioned diffusion process on 3D point clouds, it achieves multi‑view consistency and avoids the pixel‑correspondence problems of 2D diffusion. The method employs a multi‑scale cross‑view conditioning mechanism—combining global semantic priors, photometric cues, and spatial view‑direction signals—to prevent specular highlights from baking into intrinsic colors, and then distills the predicted attributes back into a fully relightable PBR‑GS asset without requiring proxy meshes.

arXiv:2603. 18634v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Rapid, large-scale 3D reconstruction from multi-date satellite imagery is vital for environmental monitoring, urban planning, and disaster response, yet remains difficult due to illumination changes, sensor heterogeneity, and the cost of per-scene optimization.
