Picasso: Holistic Scene Reconstruction with Physics-Constrained Sampling

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2602. 08058v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In the presence of occlusions and measurement noise, geometrically accurate scene reconstructions -- which fit the sensor data -- can still be physically incorrect.

MessyKitchens: Contact-rich object-level 3D scene reconstruction

MessyKitchens introduces a new dataset of cluttered real-world kitchen scenes with detailed 3D object shapes, poses, and accurate contact information. The authors extend the SAM 3D single-object reconstruction method with a Multi-Object Decoder (MOD) to jointly reconstruct entire scenes, achieving better registration accuracy and reduced inter-object penetration compared to prior work. The dataset, benchmark, code, and pretrained models will be publicly released on the project website.

SnapPhysics: A Physics-Aware Scene Graph from a Single View for Interactive Mixed Reality Scenes

SnapPhysics is a training‑free framework that reconstructs 3D objects and estimates their physical properties—mass, friction, and center of gravity—from a single image. It combines instance‑level 3D reconstruction with a physics‑aware scene graph to provide geometric grounding and inter‑object relationships for vision‑language model reasoning. Experiments on 3D‑FRONT and real captured scenes show significant improvements over existing methods, enabling physically interactive mixed reality experiences without manual tuning.

SnapPhysics: A Physics-Aware Scene Graph from a Single View for Interactive Mixed Reality Scenes

SnapPhysics is a training‑free framework that reconstructs 3D objects and estimates their physical properties—such as mass, friction, and center of gravity—from a single image. It combines instance‑level 3D reconstruction with a physics‑aware scene graph that encodes inter‑object relationships, providing structured context for vision‑language model reasoning. Experiments on 3D‑FRONT and real captured scenes show significant improvements over prior methods, reducing errors in mass estimation and enhancing scene‑level F‑Score.

CADSplat: Sparse-View 3D Gaussian Splatting Aided by CAD Models for Robust, Photorealistic Digital-Twin Reconstruction

CADSplat is a framework that reconstructs photorealistic, geometrically accurate digital twins from fewer than 15 wide‑baseline images by regularizing 3D Gaussian Splatting with an explicit CAD shape prior. It matches segmented object silhouettes to a CAD library to retrieve a suitable model and camera poses, then anchors Gaussian primitives to the model’s surface and jointly optimizes splat parameters, registration, and a non‑rigid deformation field. Experiments on two real‑world datasets show CADSplat outperforms baselines, especially in sparse and self‑occluded scenarios, and its gains mainly stem from constraining splats to a surface rather than the CAD shape itself.
