Fill My Mirror: Geometry-Constrained Mirror Inpainting

The paper introduces a method for mirror inpainting that leverages scene geometry to generate realistic reflections. By estimating the geometry of the fixed scene, the approach projects visible content into the mirror region, reducing the need for hallucination. A two‑mask diffusion strategy then refines the mirror area, balancing geometric constraints with learned priors, and the method operates without training on complex real‑world scenes.

PoseDreamer: Scalable and Photorealistic Human Data Generation Pipeline with Diffusion Models

PoseDreamer is a new pipeline that uses diffusion models to generate large‑scale synthetic datasets for 3D human mesh estimation, providing 3D mesh annotations that remain aligned with the generated images. The system incorporates controllable image generation, Direct Preference Optimization for control alignment, curriculum‑based hard sample mining, and multi‑stage quality filtering to produce over 500,000 high‑quality samples with a 76% improvement in image‑quality metrics over traditional rendering‑based datasets. Models trained on PoseDreamer match or surpass those trained on real‑world or conventional synthetic data, and combining PoseDreamer with synthetic datasets yields better performance than mixing real and synthetic data alone.

Reflection-aware Generative Novel View Synthesis

The paper introduces Ref-GeNVS, a training‑free, reflection‑aware approach for generative novel view synthesis in mirror scenes. It treats a mirror image as two complementary views, estimates the mirror plane and reflected camera poses, and uses a two‑stage generation process with Mirror‑gated attention and Reflection injection to produce reflection‑consistent novel views. The method leverages a multi‑view diffusion backbone without finetuning, outperforming recent generative NVS methods on synthetic and real mirror scenes.
