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.

PRISM is a feed‑forward single‑image 3D reconstruction framework that splits the task into a parameter‑free geometric warp and a learned residual correction, eliminating the need for iterative diffusion sampling. It uses a two‑stage training strategy—latent supervised distillation for geometric generalization and perceptual fine‑tuning for appearance quality—to generalize from synthetic data. Experiments on three benchmarks show PRISM matches diffusion‑based methods in quality while cutting inference time to just 36 seconds per scene.

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.
