PointDiT: Pixel-Space Diffusion for Monocular Geometry Estimation

ICML 2026poster

State-of-the-art single-image 3D reconstruction methods often rely on complex hybrid architectures or necessitate compressing geometry into latent spaces to leverage pre-trained latent diffusion models. In this work, we demonstrate that such architectural overhead is unnecessary. We introduce a mini…

UFO-4D: Unposed Feedforward 4D reconstruction from Two Images

ICLR 2026poster

Dense 4D reconstruction from unposed images remains a critical challenge, with current methods relying on slow test-time optimization or fragmented, task-specific feedforward models. We introduce UFO-4D, a unified feedforward framework to reconstruct a dense, explicit 4D representation from just a p…

VLIC: Vision-Language Models As Perceptual Judges for Human-Aligned Image Compression

CVPR 2026

Evaluations of image compression performance which include human preferences have generally found that naive distortion functions such as MSE are insufficiently aligned to human perception.In order to align compression models to human perception, prior work has employed differentiable perceptual los

Bolt3D: Generating 3D Scenes in Seconds

ICCV 2025poster

We present a latent diffusion model for fast feed-forward 3D scene generation. Given one or more images, our model Bolt3D directly samples a 3D scene representation in less than seven seconds on a single GPU. We achieve this by leveraging powerful and scalable existing 2D diffusion network architect…

Can Generative Video Models Help Pose Estimation?

CVPR 2025highlight

Pairwise pose estimation from images with little or no overlap is an open challenge in computer vision. Existing methods, even those trained on large-scale datasets, struggle in these scenarios due to the lack of identifiable correspondences or visual overlap. Inspired by the human ability to infer…

CubeDiff: Repurposing Diffusion-Based Image Models for Panorama Generation

ICLR 2025spotlight

We introduce a novel method for generating 360° panoramas from text prompts or images. Our approach leverages recent advances in 3D generation by employing multi-view diffusion models to jointly synthesize the six faces of a cubemap. Unlike previous methods that rely on processing equirectangular pr…

Generative Multiview Relighting for 3D Reconstruction under Extreme Illumination Variation

CVPR 2025highlight

Reconstructing the geometry and appearance of objects from photographs taken in different environments is difficult as the illumination and therefore the object appearance vary across captured images. This is particularly challenging for more specular objects whose appearance strongly depends on the…

ROGR: Relightable 3D Objects using Generative Relighting

NeurIPS 2025spotlight

We introduce ROGR, a novel approach that reconstructs a relightable 3D model of an object captured from multiple views, driven by a generative relighting model that simulates the effects of placing the object under novel environment illuminations. Our method samples the appearance of the object unde…

SimVS: Simulating World Inconsistencies for Robust View Synthesis

CVPR 2025poster

Novel-view synthesis techniques achieve impressive results for static scenes but struggle when faced with the inconsistencies inherent to casual capture settings: varying illumination, scene motion, and other unintended effects that are difficult to model explicitly. We present an approach for lever…

CAT3D: Create Anything in 3D with Multi-View Diffusion Models

NeurIPS 2024oral

Advances in 3D reconstruction have enabled high-quality 3D capture, but require a user to collect hundreds to thousands of images to create a 3D scene. We present CAT3D, a method for creating anything in 3D by simulating this real-world capture process with a multi-view diffusion model. Given any nu…

IllumiNeRF: 3D Relighting Without Inverse Rendering

NeurIPS 2024poster

Existing methods for relightable view synthesis --- using a set of images of an object under unknown lighting to recover a 3D representation that can be rendered from novel viewpoints under a target illumination --- are based on inverse rendering, and attempt to disentangle the object geometry, mate…

ReconFusion: 3D Reconstruction with Diffusion Priors

CVPR 2024poster

3D reconstruction methods such as Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) excel at rendering photorealistic novel views of complex scenes. However recovering a high-quality NeRF typically requires tens to hundreds of input images resulting in a time-consuming capture process. We present ReconFusion to recons…

Common Objects in 3D: Large-Scale Learning and Evaluation of Real-Life 3D Category Reconstruction

ICCV 2021poster

Traditional approaches for learning 3D object categories have been predominantly trained and evaluated on synthetic datasets due to the unavailability of real 3D-annotated category-centric data. Our main goal is to facilitate advances in this field by collecting real-world data in a magnitude simila…

Unsupervised Learning of 3D Object Categories From Videos in the Wild

CVPR 2021poster

Recently, numerous works have attempted to learn 3D reconstructors of textured 3D models of visual categories given a training set of annotated static images of objects. In this paper, we seek to decrease the amount of needed supervision by leveraging a collection of object-centric videos captured i…
