The paper introduces GeoNeXt, a framework that repurposes pretrained video generative models for geometry estimation by framing it as a next‑frame prediction task. Unlike prior methods that either train separate depth/normal models or fine‑tune image diffusion backbones, GeoNeXt jointly models images and geometric targets, leveraging the structured knowledge of video models for more data‑efficient learning. Experiments show zero‑shot monocular depth and surface normal estimation that outperforms existing generative approaches and rivals discriminative state‑of‑the‑art methods while using far less training data.

Reconstructing 3D scenes from a single image is a fundamental challenge in computer vision, with broad applications in virtual reality, robotics, and content creation. Recent methods achieve outstanding performance by leveraging camera-controlled video diffusion models, but rely on iterative diffusion sampling, which greatly limits their practical deployment.

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).
