Reconstruction of a 3D wireframe from a single line drawing via generative depth estimation

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper presents a method for reconstructing 3D wireframes from single 2D line drawings by treating the task as conditional depth estimation. It uses a Latent Diffusion Model with spatial conditioning on the sketch and optional partial-depth cues to predict depth for each drawn pixel, producing a 3D wireframe that faithfully matches the visible strokes. Trained on over three million synthetic image‑depth pairs from CAD wireframes, the approach achieves a best‑of‑five normalized depth error of 3.9% and demonstrates robust performance across varying shape complexities.

Zero-Shot Novel Depth Synthesis Using 3D Foundation Models Scene Representations

The paper introduces Z3D, a method that leverages internal representations from 3D Foundation Models (3DFMs) to perform zero‑shot novel depth synthesis. By decoding hidden surfaces and applying latent diffusion on 3DFM representations, Z3D can estimate realistic depth maps for unseen views across multiple datasets. This demonstrates that 3DFMs capture extensive general knowledge about 3D scenes, enabling accurate reconstruction without additional training.

Zero-Shot Novel Depth Synthesis Using 3D Foundation Models Scene Representations

The paper explores how 3D Foundation Models (3DFMs) like VGGT can be leveraged for zero‑shot depth synthesis. By decoding hidden surfaces from the models’ internal representations, the authors introduce Z3D, a method that uses latent diffusion on 3DFM representations to estimate pointmaps in unseen views. Experiments demonstrate that Z3D can generate realistic depth maps across multiple datasets.
