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.
