ControlFlow3D: Distilling Multi-View Knowledge into Latent Flow Matching for Point Cloud Upsampling

ControlFlow3D is a framework that upsamples point clouds by distilling knowledge from pretrained foundation models into a lightweight generation network. It performs conditional flow matching in a latent space defined by a frozen 3D encoder, using unsupervised soft KMeans to cluster multi‑view image tokens and 3D latent tokens into shared prototypes that guide the flow trajectory. A Mamba‑based geometry decoder then maps latent features to dense coordinates with linear complexity, and the authors introduce ShapeNetPU, a 35K‑object multi‑modal benchmark 31 times larger than previous datasets.

Point Diffusion Mamba: Unified Diffusion-State-Space Modeling for Single-View 3D Reconstruction under Data Scarcity

Point Diffusion Mamba (PDM) is a new method that fuses diffusion models with state‑space modeling to perform single‑view 3D reconstruction when training data are scarce. It uses a lightweight reconstruction module for unordered point‑clouds, a Local Geometric Aggregation module combined with Mamba blocks to capture both global geometry and local detail, and a Hierarchical Feature Integration Network to merge high‑level semantic and local geometric features for each point. A Dynamic Weighted Sampling strategy further improves reconstruction quality by integrating generative priors, and experiments on ShapeNet and Pix3D show that PDM outperforms existing state‑of‑the‑art approaches.

Surflo: Consistent 3D Surface Flow Model with Global State

Geometry is invariant to viewpoint, which makes any collection of images a redundant encoding of a single 3D state. Existing feed-forward reconstruction models fail to exploit this: per-view methods emit overlapping, unaligned pointmaps that grow linearly with input count, while global-latent methods commit to a fixed, low-resolution output.

LitePT: Lighter Yet Stronger Point Transformer

LitePT introduces a lighter yet stronger 3D point cloud backbone that strategically uses convolutional layers in early, high‑resolution stages and switches to attention in deeper, low‑resolution layers. By adding a novel, parameter‑free 3D positional encoding called PointROPE, LitePT preserves spatial layout while reducing redundancy. The resulting model has 3.6× fewer parameters, runs twice as fast, and uses half the memory of the state‑of‑the‑art Point Transformer V3, yet matches or surpasses its performance across multiple tasks and datasets.
