An Evaluation Framework for Generating Multi-View Images of a Person in a Scene

We present a method for generating a full 360° orbit video around a person from a single input image. Existing methods typically adapt image-based diffusion models for multi-view synthesis, but yield inconsistent results across views and with the original identity. In contrast, recent video diffusion models have demonstrated their ability in generating photorealistic results that align well with the given prompts. Inspired by these results, we propose HumanOrbit, a video diffusion model for multi-view human image generation. Our approach enables the model to synthesize continuous camera rotations around the subject, producing geometrically consistent novel views while preserving the appearance and identity of the person. Using the generated multi-view frames, we further propose a reconstruction pipeline that recovers a textured mesh of the subject. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of HumanOrbit for multi-view image generation and that the reconstructed 3D models exhibit superior completeness and fidelity compared to those from state-of-the-art baselines.

Multi-view diffusion models have shown strong performance in scenes with strong geometric priors and sparse semantics, such as indoor rooms or simple outdoor environments (e.g., fields, courtyards). However, they often fail to maintain cross-view consistency under camera rotation, especially in structurally complex urban environments. Without explicit modeling of spherical correspondence across views, existing approaches tend to produce object duplication, structural distortion, and layout inconsistency. To address this limitation, we propose StreetDiff, a multi-view diffusion framework that explicitly enforces cross-view alignment during denoising. StreetDiff introduces a Panorama--Perspective Synergy design to decouple global layout reasoning from local detail synthesis, and incorporates a Panorama Alignment Module (PAM) that establishes spherical-projection-based attention constraints across views. By injecting structured alignment constraints without modifying the diffusion backbone, our framework achieves robust cross-view coherence in challenging urban street scene generation tasks. In addition, we construct Street360, a large-scale HDR multi-view urban panorama dataset. Extensive experiments demonstrate that StreetDiff significantly improves structural consistency and visual fidelity compared to prior multi-view diffusion generation methods.

Photorealistic novel view synthesis of people remains challenging at high spatial resolutions and across multiple target cameras, where preserving identity, fine appearance details, and geometric coherence is critical. We build on the next-scale autoregressive paradigm and adapt it for human-centric view synthesis by enabling higher image resolutions, multi-view outputs and stronger cross-view consistency in a single forward pass. We train on a synthetic dataset of human faces spanning diverse identities and apparel. Contrary to diffusion models, this paradigm does not need 2D pre-training and, thanks to its next-scale architecture, it benefits from lower-resolution, general-purpose pre-trainings, with the full-sized purpose-specific images being used only in the last training stages. This enables our architecture to converge with a smaller amount of purpose-specific training data, allowing us to use a smaller but more realistic training dataset. The resulting model produces sharp and realistic views, with the option to synthesize multiple novel viewpoints simultaneously for improved agreement across views. Empirically, we observe gains in perceptual fidelity and cross-view coherence on human subjects, demonstrating that next-scale autoregression is an effective backbone for scalable, multi-output human view synthesis. We also couple our pipeline with an existing transformer-based model for pixel-aligned 3D gaussian lifting from multi-view facial inputs, resulting in accurate and photorealistic 3D models of human faces.
