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.

The paper presents a framework that builds a static point cloud prior map from past camera traversals, augmenting each point with DINOv3 semantic features. During runtime, a local prior patch is retrieved, encoded with a sparse voxel backbone, and fused with lifted multi‑view camera features in bird’s‑eye view. This fused representation is then used by sparse transformer heads to predict 3D objects and vectorized map elements, achieving improved performance on Argoverse 2 without requiring LiDAR for prior‑map construction or online inference.
