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.

Projector-camera (ProCams) systems achieve active scene perception and controllable appearance manipulation via structured illumination, serving as a core infrastructure for spatial augmented reality, projection mapping, and surface reflectance acquisition. Existing inverse-rendering methods for ProCams deliver high-fidelity results but rely on time-consuming per-scene optimization, while mainstream feed-forward 3D reconstruction models produce baked appearance that cannot adapt to spatially varying projector illumination.
Synthesizing a novel-view video from a monocular reference video along a target camera trajectory requires both geometric consistency and motion fidelity with respect to the reference video. Existing methods based on explicit 3D representations are limited by the accuracy of off-the-shelf reconstruction modules, which often produce inaccurate geometry for dynamic objects in monocular videos.
arXiv:2606. 06899v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Variations in illumination remain a major challenge for visual representation learning, as they induce substantial appearance changes both across and within environments.

Camera intrinsics are vital for recovering 3D structure from 2D video. However, most 3D algorithms assume fixed intrinsics throughout a video, an assumption that often fails for real-world in-the-wild videos.
