RelightFormer: Feed-forward Generative Transformer for Multiview Object Relighting

RelightFormer is a feed‑forward generative Transformer that performs single‑ and multi‑view image relighting without explicit intrinsic property estimation. It incorporates a latent illumination module that injects target environment maps into spatial features via cross‑attention, and uses permutation‑invariant positional encodings to process unordered multi‑view inputs symmetrically. Trained on the large Laval Objaverse Dataset, the model achieves state‑of‑the‑art visual and photorealistic relighting quality, and demonstrates strong zero‑shot generalization across various relighting tasks.

WildRelight: A Real-World Benchmark and Physics-Guided Adaptation for Single-Image Relighting

WildRelight is the first in-the-wild dataset designed to evaluate single-image relighting models, featuring high-resolution outdoor scenes captured under strictly aligned, temporally varying natural illuminations paired with high-dynamic-range environment maps. The benchmark demonstrates that state-of-the-art models trained on synthetic data suffer severe domain shifts when applied to real-world imagery. Leveraging the dataset’s temporal structure, the authors introduce a physics-guided inference framework combining Diffusion Posterior Sampling with Temporal Sampling-Aware Test-Time Adaptation, enabling synthetic models to self-supervise and align with real-world statistics on-the-fly.

InsertAnywhere: Geometrically Grounded and Optics-Aware Video Object Insertion

arXiv:2512. 17504v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent advances in diffusion models have enabled impressive video editing capabilities, yet production-grade Video Object Insertion (VOI) remains challenging due to inadequate 4D scene understanding and a lack of proper optical interactions, such as shadows and reflections.

Dynamic-Robust Photometric-Semantic Reconstruction for Open-Vocabulary 3D Scene Understanding

Dynamic-Robust Photometric-Semantic Reconstruction for Open-Vocabulary 3D Scene Understanding introduces SPAR, a joint semantic‑geometric encoding architecture that isolates transient dynamic noise before latent space aggregation. The method couples motion estimation with multi‑view visual and semantic learning in a dynamic‑region‑aware end‑to‑end training paradigm, enabling the network to resolve motion conflicts and produce temporally stable scene representations. Experiments on the D‑RE10K benchmark show state‑of‑the‑art performance, achieving high PSNR values for novel view synthesis and an 88.5% mIoU for motion mask prediction in a self‑supervised setting.
