When Does An Extra View Help? Adapting Single-View 3D Reconstruction with Extra Imagery

The relationship between object perception and reconstruction is well established in human vision, yet remains underexplored in computer vision. In this paper, we demonstrate that learnt object perception can significantly enhance 3D reconstruction. Focusing on the challenging task of single-view 3D object reconstruction, we propose a method that leverages perceptual signals extracted from pretrained perception models capturing semantic and geometric information to drive the reconstruction of an object from its single image. Our approach is model-agnostic and can be integrated into various reconstruction methods in a plug-and-play manner. Experiments with two state-of-the-art single-view 3D reconstruction pipelines in a benchmark dataset show consistent and substantial improvements achieved by our method, validating the effectiveness of incorporating perception into generation. We provide in-depth analysis of various aspects of our method and its application. Our project page is at https://ynhuhuynh.github.io/perception-3d/.

In this paper, we introduce \textit{DecoRec}, a novel system designed to elevate single-view 2D images to a decomposed 3D scene mesh. Current methods for single-view scene reconstruction typically rely on object retrieval or the regression of coarse 3D voxels or surfaces, leading to inaccuracies in capturing the appearance and geometry of the input image. The lack of high-quality large-scale scene-level datasets further complicates direct 3D scene generation from single-view images. To achieve high-quality 3D scene generation from a single-view image, DecoRec takes advantage of recent diffusion-based single-view object reconstruction methods to reconstruct individual objects separately. Subsequently, a refinement pipeline is proposed to effectively merge these reconstructed objects, enhancing appearance and geometry through a differentiable rendering technique and diffusion-guided refinement. Our results demonstrate that DecoRec facilitates high-quality single-view scene reconstruction in both geometry and novel synthesis, offering significant benefits for downstream applications like room interior design.

Reconstructing 3D shapes from a single image remains a fundamental yet challenging problem in computer vision. Traditional monocular 3D generation pipelines typically synthesize multiple views from a single input image before applying Neural Radiance Field (NeRF)-based reconstruction. However, inherent projective ambiguities often produce visual discontinuities across generated viewpoints, leading to inaccuracies in reconstructed 3D models. Current solutions either incur significant additional computational burdens or fail to adequately resolve practical inconsistencies between synthesized views. To address these limitations, we propose a novel viewpoint-adaptive neural rendering framework that enables robust 3D reconstruction even when given partially inconsistent multi-view inputs. Our approach introduces view-adaptive neural renderers that independently correct viewpoint-dependent errors while simultaneously sharing a global feature backbone to preserve structural coherence. Furthermore, we propose a self-attention fusion module that adaptively integrates multi-view information, ensuring geometric consistency without relying heavily on indirect regularizations or computationally intensive methods. Through extensive experiments, we demonstrate that our method consistently improves 3D reconstruction fidelity. Importantly, our approach achieves near state-of-the-art performance without diffusion-based SDS supervision, relying primarily on photometric rendering loss with lightweight attention regularizers. This balance between accuracy and efficiency makes the proposed framework highly practical for real-world applications.
