The paper presents a lightweight extension to the Monst3R 4D reconstruction model by adding an event-camera input branch while keeping the rest of the architecture unchanged. Across three benchmark datasets, this RGB‑event fusion reduces absolute relative error by an average of 3.4% compared to the RGB‑only baseline, with the largest gains occurring under high object motion where RGB‑only methods falter. The study demonstrates that incorporating event data can meaningfully improve 4D reconstruction robustness without a full architectural redesign.
RoGe is a new end‑to‑end framework for novel view synthesis that jointly learns an implicit 3D scene representation and a video diffusion model. It eliminates the need for explicit 3D intermediates by querying the implicit scene with camera rays to produce geometric features that condition the diffusion model. Experiments on DL3DV show that RoGe surpasses reconstruction‑based, generation‑based, and hybrid baselines in image quality and temporal consistency, and ablations confirm the benefits of ray‑queried features and joint training.
arXiv:2505. 08438v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Event cameras are rapidly emerging as powerful vision sensors for 3D reconstruction, uniquely capable of asynchronously capturing per-pixel brightness changes.
Free-viewpoint 3D scene media is increasingly important for immersive applications, yet practical capture often suffers from severe view sparsity and motion blur. Although neural rendering has advanced sparse-view synthesis, existing blur-aware methods typically require substantial multi-view redundancy, accurate camera poses, or costly per-scene optimization.
GaussVid introduces a 3D-aware video restoration framework that enhances sparse-view 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) reconstructions. By creating a large-scale 3DGS video dataset and employing a camera-conditioned geometric prior anchored on the first and last frames, the method injects spatial structure into video generation, ensuring geometrically grounded restoration across viewpoints. Experiments demonstrate superior pixel- and structure-level fidelity (PSNR/SSIM) and improved multi-view consistency compared to other video-prior restoration methods, while maintaining competitive perceptual quality (LPIPS).
