Latent Riemannian Flow Matching for Geometry-Grounded 3D Foundation Models

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

Geometric foundation models, such as the Visual Geometry Grounded Transformer (VGGT), provide strong 3D priors from unposed images. However, such models operate purely in a feed-forward, deterministic regime, \ie~they cannot generate plausible geometry beyond what the input views directly support.

GAE: Learning a Geometry-Native Latent Space for 3D-Consistent World Generation

The paper introduces the Geometry‑Native Autoencoder (GAE), a compact latent space that can be decoded into appearance, depth, camera parameters, and point maps, enabling 3D‑consistent world generation. By reparameterizing a geometry foundation model’s features, GAE replaces traditional appearance‑centric latents and improves visual quality and 3D coherence, achieving significant reductions in FVD and camera‑trajectory error on benchmark datasets. The work demonstrates that a geometry‑native latent space can serve as a shared interface between perception and generation models.

SpatialCrafter: Single Image World Modeling with Generative 3D Proxies

SpatialCrafter introduces a two‑stage framework for single‑image world modeling that first generates a global 3D proxy using a Point‑anchored Sparse Structure Flow module, then refines appearance with a Generative Deferred Refiner built on a video diffusion model. The method incorporates Parallel Geometry Injection and Proxy‑Aware Corruption training to integrate the proxy without disrupting the pretrained generative manifold, and it is evaluated on a newly constructed dataset of 115K scenes. Experiments demonstrate that SpatialCrafter outperforms existing approaches, reducing long‑term drift and maintaining consistency under rapid camera motion and extreme viewpoints.

Learning 3D Editing without Paired Supervision via Generative Prior Distillation

The paper introduces a framework for instruction‑guided 3D editing that does not require paired 3D supervision. It distills visual, semantic, and geometric knowledge from foundation models into a 3D editing model using a differentiable rendering pipeline, guided by a 2D visual prior from an image editing model and a semantic prior from a Vision‑Language Model. A 3D‑aware Distribution Matching regularization is added to prevent geometric collapse and ensure realistic 3D outputs, leading to superior instruction fidelity and cross‑view consistency compared to state‑of‑the‑art baselines.
