Abstract

Learning-based methods for 3D scene reconstruction and object completion require large datasets containing partial scans paired with complete ground-truth geometry. However, acquiring such datasets using real-world scanning systems is costly and time-consuming, particularly when accurate ground truth for occluded regions is required. In this work, we present a virtual scanning framework implemented in Unity for generating realistic synthetic 3D scan datasets. The proposed system simulates the behaviour of real-world scanners using configurable parameters such as scan resolution, measurement range, and distance-dependent noise. Instead of directly sampling mesh surfaces, the framework performs ray-based scanning from virtual viewpoints, enabling realistic modelling of sensor visibility and occlusion effects. In addition, panoramic images captured at the scanner location are used to assign colours to the resulting point clouds. To support scalable dataset creation, the scanner is integrated with a procedural indoor scene generation pipeline that automatically produces diverse room layouts and furniture arrangements. Using this system, we introduce the V-Scan dataset, which contains synthetic indoor scans together with object-level partial point clouds, voxel-based occlusion grids, and complete ground-truth geometry. The resulting dataset provides valuable supervision for training and evaluating learning-based methods for scene reconstruction and object completion.

Seen2Scene: Completing Realistic 3D Scenes with Visibility-Guided Flow

We present Seen2Scene, the first flow matching-based approach that trains directly on incomplete, real-world 3D scans for scene completion and generation. Unlike prior methods that rely on complete and hence synthetic 3D data, our approach introduces visibility-guided flow matching, which explicitly masks out unknown regions in real scans, enabling effective learning from real-world, partial observations. We represent 3D scenes using truncated signed distance field (TSDF) volumes encoded in sparse grids and employ a sparse transformer to efficiently model complex scene structures while masking unknown regions. We employ 3D layout boxes as an input conditioning signal, and our approach is flexibly adapted to various other inputs such as text or partial scans. By learning directly from real-world, incomplete 3D scans, Seen2Scene enables realistic 3D scene completion for complex, cluttered real environments. Experiments demonstrate that our model produces coherent, complete, and realistic 3D scenes, outperforming baselines in completion accuracy and generation quality.

Rein3D: Reinforced 3D Indoor Scene Generation with Panoramic Video Diffusion Models

The growing demand for Embodied AI and VR applications has highlighted the need for synthesizing high-quality 3D indoor scenes from sparse inputs. However, existing approaches struggle to infer massive amounts of missing geometry in large unseen areas while maintaining global consistency, often producing locally plausible but globally inconsistent reconstructions. We present Rein3D, a framework that reconstructs full 360-degree indoor environments by coupling explicit 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) with temporally coherent priors from video diffusion models. Our approach follows a "restore-and-refine" paradigm: we employ a radial exploration strategy to render imperfect panoramic videos along trajectories starting from the origin, effectively uncovering occluded regions from a coarse 3DGS initialization. These sequences are restored by a panoramic video-to-video diffusion model and further enhanced via video super-resolution to synthesize high-fidelity geometry and textures. Finally, these refined videos serve as pseudo-ground truths to update the global 3D Gaussian field. To support this task, we construct PanoV2V-15K, a dataset of over 15K paired clean and degraded panoramic videos for diffusion-based scene restoration. Experiments demonstrate that Rein3D produces photorealistic and globally consistent 3D scenes and significantly improves long-range camera exploration compared with existing baselines.

Scenix: Sparse-View 3D Scene Reconstruction via Executable Scene Programs

Synthesizing a structured and editable 3D indoor scene from a few uncalibrated RGB views requires more than generating high-quality individual assets: a system must infer the room structure, associate objects across incomplete observations, and recover a globally consistent spatial configuration. Previous methods mainly focus on 3D scene generation with text input or require continuous visual inputs with additional priors, \ e.g., human-annotated masks or accurate 3D layouts, which makes these methods labor demanding and hard to apply in general cases. We present Scenix, a sparse-view 3D scene reconstruction framework via executable scene programs, a structured representation that can be directly instantiated into editable 3D scenes. Given sparse views, Scenix predicts executable scene programs through perception-grounded asset instantiation and closed-loop spatial refinement. % We present \method, a framework that predicts an executable scene representation from sparse views and realizes it through perception-grounded asset instantiation and closed-loop spatial refinement. To support this task, we construct \dataset, a dataset of approximately 110,000 synthetic and real indoor scenes with multiview imagery, room structures, object-centric descriptions, and metric spatial annotations. We further introduce observation-consistent supervision that aligns each target scene with the visual evidence available in its input views. Experiments on held-out XScene scenes, real indoor images, and out-of-distribution SpatialGen cases evaluate structured scene prediction, object grounding, and spatial refinement.
