DyRAD: Radar Novel View Synthesis for Dynamic Driving Scenes

Reconstructing dynamic driving scenes from recorded sensor data supports closed-loop evaluation of autonomous driving systems by synthesizing observations beyond the original trajectory. Unlike cameras and LiDAR, radar measures radial velocity directly through Doppler. Yet existing radar novel-view synthesis fails to exploit this capability: methods addressing dynamic scenes reconstruct only range-azimuth tensors, while methods that render Doppler assume static scenes. Moreover, because radar processing spreads each reflection across multiple bins, existing representations absorb this spread into scene geometry, causing it to render incorrectly when the viewpoint moves. We present DyRAD, which models dynamic driving scenes using static background reflectors and motion-tracked dynamic point reflectors to render complete range-azimuth-Doppler (RAD) tensors. Reflector velocities are derived from object tracks and projected onto the line of sight, making Doppler both a rendered output and supervision for those tracks. Crucially, we render reflectors through a fixed analytic point-spread function (PSF) derived from the radar's signal-processing chain, preventing sensor-induced spread from being baked into the scene representation. Beyond improving scene reconstruction, this separation also enables zero-shot sensor-configuration transfer, allowing the same reconstructed scene to be rendered under different radar specifications without refitting. We evaluate DyRAD on RADIal, Boreas, and a synthetic benchmark across both on-path poses and displaced viewpoints untested by prior work. On RADIal, DyRAD recovers radar detections in 90.7% of reference-detected objects, compared with 26.9% for the strongest baseline.

Stabilizing Camera-Controlled Novel View Synthesis at Inference Time

Training-free, camera-controlled novel view synthesis from a single image using pre-trained video diffusion models often becomes unstable under large camera motion and long generation horizons. Existing approaches commonly combine several inference-time components, making it unclear which design choices are most important for stability. We show that the main source of stability is simple. Decomposing camera motion into small autoregressive steps limits per-step geometric distortion and reduces error accumulation. A controlled camera-step study shows that performance remains stable for small motions and degrades more strongly as the per-step motion approaches

. We further evaluate geometry-constrained spatial attention and low-frequency appearance anchoring as supporting refinements, together with an efficient registration-free warping pipeline. Across RealEstate10K and MegaScene, CamTrol++ improves temporal and geometric consistency, downstream 3D reconstruction quality, and generation efficiency over training-free baselines. The method remains effective for 56-frame generation and under substantial controlled depth corruption. These results show that careful control of camera motion at inference time can substantially improve the stability of camera-controlled novel view synthesis without retraining or modifying the diffusion backbone.

CC-4DGS: Computational Deformation and Point-Cloud Compression for Storage-Efficient Dynamic Gaussian Splatting

Dynamic four-dimensional (4D) Gaussian Splatting has emerged as a powerful explicit representation for high-quality view synthesis, yet existing methods still require tens to hundreds of megabytes per scene due to their heavy reliance on large multi-resolution hash tables and high-dimensional Gaussian attributes. This paper presents CC-4DGS, a storage-efficient and scalable framework that rethinks both deformation modeling and canonical attribute storage. First, we introduce a computational deformation field (CDF) that replaces large multi-resolution learnable hash tables with deterministic dense hash encoding and compact neural decoders, enabling on-the-fly synthesis of deformation features while reducing deformation storage to only 1--3 MB per scene. Second, we propose a compression of canonical point-cloud attributes (CCA) pipeline that compresses high-dimensional spherical harmonic appearance terms and auxiliary Gaussian attributes via conditional autoencoding, selective quantization, and residual codebooks, achieving 3--5

\times

point-cloud reduction with negligible quality loss. Together, these components yield a unified representation that preserves real-time rendering performance while reducing total storage to 20--30 MB. Extensive experiments across the N3DV and Technicolor Light Field datasets demonstrate that CC-4DGS achieves reconstruction accuracy comparable to state-of-the-art methods such as Swift4D, while offering significantly improved storage efficiency and favorable runtime-memory trade-offs.

MV2: Multi-View Multi-Vehicle Driving Dataset for Novel View Synthesis

Differentiable rendering has advanced novel view synthesis (NVS), yet applying it to real-world driving remains difficult due to sparse capture viewpoints, dynamic objects, and limited multi-trajectory data. We introduce the Multi-View Multi-Vehicle (MV2) dataset and benchmark for evaluating NVS models under large viewpoint changes in dynamic urban scenes. MV2 features synchronized captures from a car, scooter, and drone, each following distinct yet synchronized trajectories. Training NVS methods on one vehicle's camera stream and testing on another enables evaluation under substantially larger viewpoint variations than existing single-trajectory datasets. All sequences are registered via Structure-from-Motion and camera poses verified using manual pixel-level correspondence annotations, yielding 50 high-quality scenes with 12000 images. Benchmarking recent NVS and camera pose estimation methods shows that NVS performance degrades with increasing viewpoint disparity, and that feed-forward pose estimators notably lag behind optimization-based approaches, highlighting MV2 as a rigorous testbed for NVS in driving. The dataset, benchmark protocol, and project resources are available at https://mv2-dataset.github.io/.

FAST-GS: Frequency Aware Space-time Gaussian Splatting for Photorealistic Dynamic Novel View Synthesis

4D Gaussian Splatting (4DGS) excels in dynamic 3D reconstruction and real-time novel view synthesis via efficient 4D Gaussian representations and parallelizable rendering. However, existing 4DGS approaches rely on a single polynomial to model motion, which limits performance in complex dynamic scenes where high-frequency motion components are prevalent, and fails to ensure long-term stability due to cumulative trajectory drift. To address these issues, we propose a Fourier Motion Modeling module: this paradigm decomposes motion into frequency-based sinusoidal components, capturing both low-frequency global trajectories and high-frequency local details to model complex motion patterns accurately. It retains the real-time rendering capability of 4DGS while improving complex motion fitting and long-term coherence. Additionally, we integrate a motion-aware regularization strategy into the loss function: it uses frequency-dependent weights to suppress high-frequency jitter while preserving low-frequency motion coherence. Extensive experiments on N3V and Google Immersive datasets from multiple scenarios demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.

D^2-4DGS: Dual-Depth Guided Sparse-Camera 4D Gaussian Splatting

Dynamic 4D Gaussian Splatting has emerged as an efficient representation for dynamic novel view synthesis through explicit scene modeling and real-time rendering. However, existing methods typically require dense multi-view videos for sufficient geometric constraints, making capture expensive and limiting sparse-camera deployment. Reducing input views lowers acquisition cost but weakens geometry supervision, often causing missing structures and floating Gaussians. Depth priors provide geometric cues, yet no single source offers both dense coverage and reliable geometry. Monocular depth provides dense structure but is scale-ambiguous and locally biased, whereas multi-view geometric depth provides incomplete anchors consistent with the reconstruction coordinate system. To exploit their complementarity, we propose D

-4DGS, a sparse-camera dynamic 4D Gaussian Splatting framework guided by dual-source depth priors. We align monocular estimates with valid multi-view geometric depths and verify their consistency to identify reliable geometric anchors. These verified anchors support consistency-aware pruning and depth supervision, while verified geometric depths and aligned mono-only estimates provide candidate geometry for densification in under-reconstructed regions. Finally, RGB-D joint optimization improves appearance fidelity and geometric consistency under sparse-view supervision. Across all nine dataset--view settings, D

GrainGS: Gradient-Decoupled Gaussian Splatting for Efficient Dynamic Novel View Synthesis

Dynamic scene reconstruction with 3D Gaussian Splatting requires a balance between fine-grained motion modeling, structural stability, and compact representation. Existing per-primitive methods provide flexible local deformation but often suffer from redundant primitive growth, while anchor-based methods improve spatial regularity at the cost of suppressing locally varying motion. To address these issues, we present GrainGS, a dynamic Gaussian framework that combines a hierarchical anchor scaffold with per-Gaussian deformation. A static warm-up stage first establishes a time-invariant canonical representation from observations across all timestamps. During joint training, a stop-gradient operation blocks the deformation-mediated gradient pathway to the canonical positions while preserving their direct refinement through the reconstruction objective. Each Gaussian then predicts independent temporal offsets for position, rotation, and scale, enabling detailed local motion within a structurally constrained scaffold. A canonical-residual appearance decomposition further models frame-dependent photometric changes without forcing them into geometric deformation. Experiments on synthetic monocular and real-world multiview benchmarks show that GrainGS achieves high reconstruction quality, real-time novel view synthesis, and compact storage. Under the synthetic benchmark setting, it reaches an average peak signal-to-noise ratio of 36.98 decibels, renders at 435.6 frames per second, and requires 4.67 megabytes of storage.

PE-Field 4D: Video Generation Models as Canvas

Diffusion Transformers have recently achieved strong performance in video generation, yet controlling scene geometry under viewpoint changes and camera motion remains challenging. In this work, we revisit the role of positional encoding in video diffusion transformers and show that it provides a useful spatial bias for geometry-aware control. Specifically, if reference tokens are encoded according to their projected locations in the target view, the denoising model is encouraged to retrieve content from position aligned regions of the input video. Building on this observation, we introduce a geometry-aware cross-attention mechanism that enables target video latent tokens to attend to structured context tokens derived from reference images or frames. To establish correspondence between the reference content and the target camera trajectory, we equip the context tokens with a projected positional encoding scheme that combines target-view 2D reprojection with depth-aware disambiguation. At the same time, we preserve the original spatiotemporal positional encoding of the generated video latent, allowing geometric guidance to be injected while maintaining consistency with the video model's native latent structure. The resulting framework provides a simple and effective approach for controllable video generation. It improves spatial controllability in viewpoint-dependent editing tasks, including camera re-trajectory, novel-view video synthesis, and geometry-aware video editing, while preserving the generative prior of the underlying video diffusion model. The code is available at: https://github.com/MTLab/PE-Field.

Online Neural Space Time Memory for Dynamic Novel View Synthesis

Online novel view synthesis from multi-view streaming videos faces a fundamental trade-off: maintaining a persistent, long-horizon memory to reconstruct temporarily occluded regions while operating under strict real-time constraints. While Test-Time Training (TTT) offers a powerful memory mechanism, standard models mandate gradient-based memory updates at every frame to adapt to the changing motion in dynamic scenes. The computational cost of heavy memory updates precludes real-time application and can lead to instability over long contexts. Given that memory updates are more demanding than memory application and video content is largely redundant, we propose to decouple the frequencies of these two processes. Our approach performs periodic memory updates while applying the memory on a per-frame basis, using cross-view attention to manage deformations between the prior memory state and the current frame. To lock in the historical context, we introduce two critical mechanisms: an auxiliary Memory Loss that forces persistent internalization of the scene, and a Memory Caching strategy that regularizes active weights against catastrophic drift. Our method demonstrates state-of-the-art minute-scale memory persistence in online dynamic human scenes at amortized real-time speed.

4D Human-Scene Reconstruction from Low-Overlap Captures

Existing volumetric capture of dynamic human performance achieves high fidelity with dense camera arrays. However, in real-world scenarios, only a handful of low-overlap cameras are available, which degrades the output quality and leaves large areas unobserved. Recent 4D reconstruction methods have focused on low-overlap settings, yet they still produce noticeable artifacts in under-observed regions. Video diffusion models have emerged as another option, but they show geometrically inconsistent results for humans. To address these limitations, we propose StudioRecon, a pipeline that reconstructs 4D human scenes from sparse, low-overlap cameras by decoupling background and humans. We densify background supervision by synthesizing hundreds of camera-controlled novel views with a video diffusion model. We also robustly initialize deformable Gaussian humans with cross-view identity association and triangulated multi-view keypoint fitting. Finally, our recursive enhancement module with motion-adaptive consistency injection harmonizes the composed output, thereby further avoiding remaining artifacts. We achieve state-of-the-art novel view synthesis across four real-world datasets and demonstrate applications such as novel trajectory rendering and human replacement.

On the Design of Mixture-of-Experts for Dynamic Gaussian Splatting

Dynamic scene reconstruction remains challenging due to the heterogeneous and spatially varying nature of real-world motion. Although recent 3D Gaussian Splatting methods have introduced diverse deformation formulations for dynamic novel view synthesis, each method typically relies on a single deformation model within its representation, which limits robustness across diverse dynamic scenarios. In this work, we study a fundamental problem-multi-deformation modeling for dynamic 3D Gaussian representations-under two distinct integration constraints that differ in when and how multiple deformation experts interact during training. From a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) perspective, we view multi-deformation modeling as the problem of combining multiple specialized deformation models within a unified 3D representation. We first introduce Mixture of Deformation Experts (MoDE), which integrates multiple deformation experts directly into the deformable Gaussian Splatting pipeline through joint optimization. In MoDE, experts operate on a shared canonical Gaussian representation, enabling multi-deformation modeling without introducing additional training stages or modifying the original optimization schedule. In contrast, we further present Mixture of Experts for Dynamic Gaussian Splatting (MoE-GS) under a different integration constraint, where deformation experts are optimized independently and combined through a separate routing stage. As a result, expert interaction occurs over non-canonical Gaussian representations after individual optimization. Together, these two approaches provide alternative strategies for multi-deformation modeling, clarifying how integration constraints shape the design and behavior of deformation experts in dynamic 3D Gaussian representations. Our code is available at: https://github.com/cvsp-lab/MoE-GS-studio.

NeoMap: Training-free Novel-View Synthesis from Single Images and Videos

We study the challenging problem of novel view video synthesis from single images or monocular videos. Existing methods, which operate under the assumption that pre-trained video models lack native novel view synthesis capability and enforce view alignment via camera conditioning, task-specific fine-tuning, or stepwise hard denoising guidance, often suffer from artifacts and compromised global scene consistency. In this paper, we introduce NeoMap, a novel training-free framework designed to locate high-fidelity, view-consistent novel view solutions from general pre-trained video models. The key to our approach is the core insight that promising novel view solutions are inherently encoded within the natural video data manifold learned by pre-trained models, and the core challenge is simply to locate this optimal solution. We solve this via our core mechanism: convergent manifold alternating projection iterations that optimize the initial noise. Extensive experiments demonstrate that NeoMap significantly outperforms all existing methods across 3 standard novel view synthesis benchmarks, including the challenging Tanks-and-Temples, LLFF and DAVIS datasets, achieving state-of-the-art generation fidelity and top-tier view consistency.

SPECSIA: Stylization Dataset for Novel-View Enhancement in Drawing-based 3D Animation

Generating animation from a single 2D drawing is challenging because the output must preserve character appearance while remaining plausible and temporally coherent under motion. Existing drawing-based 3D animation pipelines often use sample-wise 2D refinement to align animated renderings with the input image, but such optimization tends to overfit to the observed view and fails to correct projection-induced artifacts in novel views. To address this limitation, we introduce SPECSIA-15K, a paired stylization dataset containing 14,980 artifact-corrupted projection/refinement-target pairs from 1,498 3DBiCar characters. We further present DraViE (Drawing-based View Enhancement), a lightweight plug-and-play module trained with data-level priors to remove novel-view artifacts while preserving style and motion plausibility. Experiments show consistent gains in novel-view fidelity and temporal coherence with lower per-character adaptation cost than sample-wise fine-tuning.

Envision4D: Envisioning Visual Futures via Feed-forward 4D Gaussian Splatting for Autonomous Driving

Forecasting the future evolution of dynamic scenes is crucial in autonomous driving. However, existing feed-forward paradigms are primarily designed for interpolation. When extended to future extrapolation, they suffer from ghosting artifacts under large displacements and are constrained by simplified motion assumptions or strict future priors. To overcome these challenges, we propose Envision4D, a fully self-supervised feed-forward framework for pose-free future extrapolation. Specifically, we introduce a Future Pose Prediction module that infers future camera parameters via an iterative denoising process. Furthermore, to capture non-linear dynamics, we propose In-layer Temporal Attention and employ Conditioned Motion Lifting, which transforms the highly uncertain extrapolation process into robust relational mappings. Finally, a Progressive Training Strategy is utilized to stabilize unsupervised motion learning against error accumulation. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Envision4D achieves state-of-the-art performance, significantly outperforming existing methods in future view synthesis.

Effective Multi-sensor Conditioning for Street-view Novel-view Synthesis

Modern vehicle platforms are equipped with a rich sensor suite, including LiDAR, calibrated multi-camera rigs, and accurate ego-motion, that in principle offers strong signal for re-rendering a driving scene from novel viewpoints. A growing line of recent work leverages video diffusion models for this task, using their generative priors to synthesize plausible novel views from sparse vehicle observations. In practice, however, existing methods exploit only a fragment of this signal, and their quality tends to degrade as the target trajectory departs from the recorded driving path. We argue that this is fundamentally a multi-sensor fusion problem: sparse LiDAR reprojections supply accurate but incomplete metric geometry, surround-view reference imagery supplies dense appearance but no metric depth, and camera poses tie the two together across views. We introduce StreetNVS, a video diffusion framework that jointly conditions on all three signals through a Reference-Enhanced Camera Attention module based on a relative ray-level positional encoding. We develop a two-stage curriculum training strategy that gradually exposes the model to increasingly sparse LiDAR. On the Waymo Open Dataset, StreetNVS substantially outperforms state-of-the-art baselines under sparse LiDAR conditioning, matches methods that rely on 10-100 times denser point clouds. We further show capabilities of synthesizing coherent videos along extreme out-of-trajectory paths such as elevation, lane-shift, pullback, and rotation. Our website: https://streetnvs.github.io

DSD-GS: Dynamic-Static Decomposition of Gaussian Splatting for Efficient and High-Fidelity Dynamic Scene Reconstruction

Dynamic scene reconstruction and novel view synthesis are fundamental to next-generation visual intelligence applications such as virtual reality, robotics, and digital twins. However, high-fidelity reconstruction of complex, time-varying scenes from arbitrary viewpoints remains a significant challenge. Existing dynamic 3DGS methods suffer from computational inefficiency, since they model all Gaussians as dynamic components. While recent decomposition-based approaches address this issue, they still struggle with degraded reconstruction quality and prolonged training time. To mitigate these limitations, we propose a novel dynamic reconstruction framework built upon an efficient static-dynamic decomposition strategy using a Feed-Forward Gaussian Splatting encoder and an optical flow model. By eliminating redundant computations on static regions, our method achieves state-of-the-art performance, outperforming existing baselines across rendering quality, training and rendering speed, and storage efficiency. Notably, on the Neural 3D dataset, our framework requires only 10 minutes for training and achieves a rendering speed of over 700 FPS on a single NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPU at resolution of 1352x1014. Furthermore, our decomposition strategy eliminates the need for COLMAP preprocessing and enables deterministic initialization, thereby enhancing both efficiency and reproducibility.

DEVIS-GRPO: Unleashing GRPO on Dynamic Extreme View Synthesis

Trajectory-controlled video generation has become essential for controllable video generation. While current methods perform well under small-view camera motions, they degrade significantly with large-view motions. Existing solutions for extreme-view synthesis typically require dedicated video pairs, demanding substantial annotation effort. To address these limitations, we propose Dynamic Extreme VIew Synthesis-GRPO (DEVIS-GRPO), a GRPO-based framework for trajectory-controlled video generation, the first online policy gradient method for extreme view video generation. Central to our approach is a novel sampling strategy: Accumulative Dynamic Extreme VIew Synthesis (ADEVIS), which achieves large-view camera motions by progressively accumulating small-view increments. This method delivers two key advantages: 1) enhanced training efficiency, as it eliminates the need to warm-start the policy model by collecting expensive paired large-view videos, and 2) increased sampling diversity, achieved by flexibly varying trajectory configurations. Finally, we designed a multi-level consistency-quality reward function to select high-quality samples for model optimization. Experiments on the Kubric-4D, iPhone, and DL3DV datasets demonstrate our method's superiority. On Kubric-4D, we achieve relative improvements of 21.57% in PSNR and 7.31% in SSIM over the second-best method in non-occlusion areas. On iPhone, LPIPS is reduced by 18.56%.

3D Gaussian Splatting for Efficient Retrospective Dynamic Scene Novel View Synthesis with a Standardized Benchmark

Retrospective novel view synthesis (NVS) of dynamic scenes is fundamental to applications such as sports. Recent dynamic 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) approaches introduce temporally coupled formulations to enforce motion coherence across time. In this paper, we argue that, in a synchronized multi-view (MV) setting typical of sports, the dynamic scene at each time step is already strongly geometrically constrained. We posit that the availability of calibrated, synchronized viewpoints provides sufficient spatial consistency, and therefore, explicit temporal coupling, or complex multi-body constraints seems unnecessary for retrospective NVS. To this end, we propose an approach tailored for synchronized MV dynamic scene. By initializing the SfM-derived point cloud at the start time and propagating optimized Gaussians over time, we show that efficient retrospective NVS can be achieved without imposing a temporal deformation constraint. Complementing our methodological contribution, we introduce a Dynamic MV dataset framework built on Blender for reproducible NeRF and 3DGS research. The framework generates high-quality, synchronized camera rigs and exports training-ready datasets in standard formats, eliminating inconsistencies in coordinate conventions and data pipelines. Using the framework, we construct a dynamic benchmark suite and evaluate representative NeRF and 3DGS approaches under controlled conditions. Together, we show that, under a synchronized MV setup, efficient retrospective dynamic scene NVS can be achieved using 3DGS. At the same time, the dataset-generation framework enables reproducible and principled benchmarking of dynamic NVS methods.

MoCam: Unified Novel View Synthesis via Structured Denoising Dynamics

Generative novel view synthesis faces a fundamental dilemma: geometric priors provide spatial alignment but become sparse and inaccurate under view changes, while appearance priors offer visual fidelity but lack geometric correspondence. Existing methods either propagate geometric errors throughout generation or suffer from signal conflicts when fusing both statically. We introduce MoCam, which employs structured denoising dynamics to orchestrate a coordinated progression from geometry to appearance within the diffusion process. MoCam first leverages geometric priors in early stages to anchor coarse structures and tolerate their incompleteness, then switches to appearance priors in later stages to actively correct geometric errors and refine details. This design naturally unifies static and dynamic view synthesis by temporally decoupling geometric alignment and appearance refinement within the diffusion process. Experiments demonstrate that MoCam significantly outperforms prior methods, particularly when point clouds contain severe holes or distortions, achieving robust geometry-appearance disentanglement.

PD-4DGS:Progressive Decomposition of 4D Gaussian Splatting for Bandwidth-Adaptive Dynamic Scene Streaming

4D Gaussian Splatting (4DGS) enables high-quality dynamic novel view synthesis, yet current models remain monolithic bitstreams that clients must download in full before any frame can be rendered, causing black-screen waits of tens to hundreds of seconds on mobile bandwidth and leaving 4DGS incompatible with modern adaptive-bitrate delivery. Progressive 3DGS compression alleviates this for static scenes, but it acts only on spatial anchors and cannot partition the temporal deformation networks that dominate dynamic-scene size. We present PD-4DGS, the first framework for progressive compression and on-demand transmission of 4DGS. Hierarchical Deformation Decomposition (HDD) externalises the coarse-to-fine motion hierarchy already latent in 4DGS into three independently transmittable layers -- a static scaffold, a global deformation, and a local refinement -- so that any prefix of the bitstream is already renderable, turning a single training run into a scalable, DASH/HLS-compatible bitstream. A Gaussian-entropy attribute rate-distortion loss together with a temporal mask consistency regulariser shrink the base layer while suppressing low-bitrate flicker; a capacity-weighted rollout schedule, gated online by a learnt activation rate rho, then prevents deformation-network under-training without any per-scene hyperparameter. On the Dycheck iPhone benchmark, PD-4DGS cuts the streamed bitstream by >60% at matched rendering fidelity and reduces first-frame latency from 73--930 s to ~1.7 s on a 2 Mbps link, uniquely enabling true on-demand progressive streaming for 4DGS.

RealCam: Real-Time Novel-View Video Generation with Interactive Camera Control

Camera-controlled video-to-video (V2V) generation enables dynamic viewpoint synthesis from monocular footage, holding immense potential for interactive filmmaking and live broadcasting. However, existing implicit synthesis methods fundamentally rely on non-causal, full-sequence processing and rigid prefix-style temporal concatenation. This architectural paradigm mandates bidirectional attention, resulting in prohibitive computational latency, quadratic complexity scaling, and inherent incompatibility with real-time streaming or variable-length inputs. To overcome these limitations, we introduce \texttt{RealCam}, a novel autoregressive framework for interactive, real-time camera-controlled V2V generation. We first design a high-fidelity teacher model grounded in a \textbf{Cross-frame In-context Learning} paradigm. By interleaving source and target frames into synchronized contextual pairs, our design inherently enables length-agnostic generalization and naturally facilitates causal adaptation, breaking the rigid prefix bottleneck. We then distill this teacher into a few-step causal student via Self-Forcing with Distribution Matching Distillation, enabling efficient, on-the-fly streaming synthesis. Furthermore, to mitigate severe loop inconsistency in closed-loop trajectories, we propose \textbf{Loop-Closed Data Augmentation (LoopAug)}, a novel paradigm that synthesizes globally consistent loop sequences from existing multiview datasets. Extensive experiments demonstrate that \texttt{RealCam} achieves state-of-the-art visual fidelity and temporal consistency while enabling truly interactive camera control with orders-of-magnitude faster inference than existing paradigms.

Embody4D: A Generalist Data Engine for Embodied 4D World Modeling

Embodied agents require robust and comprehensive 3D spatiotemporal representations to support spatial reasoning, manipulation understanding, and downstream decision making. However, existing robot data are typically captured from fixed or sparse viewpoints, providing only partial and view-dependent observations, which limits multi-view perception and generalization across viewpoints. Given the difficulty of collecting additional viewpoints in real-world settings, we propose Embody4D, a dedicated video-to-video world model for embodied scenarios to bridge this observation gap by transforming a monocular robot video into novel-view videos from flexible target camera viewpoints. First, to tackle training data scarcity, we introduce a 3D-aware compositional synthesis pipeline to curate a heterogeneous dataset compositing cross-embodiment robotic arms with diverse backgrounds, promoting broad generalization. Second, to enforce geometric stability, we devise a latent confidence-aware expert modulation strategy, which estimates the reliability of warped latent priors and adaptively routes regions to copy, repair, or inpaint experts for spatiotemporally consistent 4D generation. Finally, to enhance the fidelity of the manipulation, we incorporate an interaction-aware attention mechanism that explicitly attends to the robotic interaction regions. Extensive experiments show that Embody4D achieves state-of-the-art performance on visual evaluation benchmarks, while both simulated and real-world robotic experiments further demonstrate its effectiveness as a robust data engine for synthesizing high-fidelity, view-consistent videos that empower downstream robotic planning and learning.

We overcome this limitation with a highly scalable self-supervised framework capable of leveraging internet-scale monocular videos. Our core contribution is the generation of pseudo multi-view training triplets, consisting of a source video, a geometric anchor, and a target video. We achieve this by extracting distinct smooth random-walk crop trajectories from a single input video to serve as the source and target views. The anchor is synthetically generated by forward-warping the first frame of the source with a dense tracking field, which effectively simulates the distorted point-cloud inputs expected at inference. Because our independent cropping strategy introduces spatial misalignment and artificial occlusions, the model cannot simply copy information from the current source frame. Instead, it is forced to implicitly learn 4D spatiotemporal structures by actively routing and re-projecting missing high-fidelity textures across distinct times and viewpoints from the source video to reconstruct the target. At inference, our minimally adapted diffusion transformer utilizes a 4D point-cloud derived anchor to achieve state-of-the-art temporal consistency, robust camera control, and high-fidelity novel view synthesis on complex dynamic scenes.

EVolSplat4D: Efficient Volume-based Gaussian Splatting for 4D Urban Scene Synthesis

Novel view synthesis (NVS) of static and dynamic urban scenes is essential for autonomous driving simulation, yet existing methods often struggle to balance reconstruction time with quality. While state-of-the-art neural radiance fields and 3D Gaussian Splatting approaches achieve photorealism, they often rely on time-consuming per-scene optimization. Conversely, emerging feed-forward methods frequently adopt per-pixel Gaussian representations, which lead to 3D inconsistencies when aggregating multi-view predictions in complex, dynamic environments. We propose EvolSplat4D, a feed-forward framework that moves beyond existing per-pixel paradigms by unifying volume-based and pixel-based Gaussian prediction across three specialized branches. For close-range static regions, we predict consistent geometry of 3D Gaussians over multiple frames directly from a 3D feature volume, complemented by a semantically-enhanced image-based rendering module for predicting their appearance. For dynamic actors, we utilize object-centric canonical spaces and a motion-adjusted rendering module to aggregate temporal features, ensuring stable 4D reconstruction despite noisy motion priors. Far-Field scenery is handled by an efficient per-pixel Gaussian branch to ensure full-scene coverage. Experimental results on the KITTI-360, KITTI, Waymo, and PandaSet datasets show that EvolSplat4D reconstructs both static and dynamic environments with superior accuracy and consistency, outperforming both per-scene optimization and state-of-the-art feed-forward baselines.

InverseCrafter: Efficient Video ReCapture as a Latent Domain Inverse Problem

Recent approaches in controllable novel view video generation often rely on fine-tuning pre-trained Video Diffusion Models (VDMs). This dominant paradigm is computationally expensive and frequently suffers from catastrophic forgetting of the model's original generative priors. To address this challenge, here we propose InverseCrafter, a VDM training-free framework that reformulates novel view video generation as an inpainting-based inverse problem in the latent space, eliminating the need for any annotated 4D training data. The core of our method is to establish operator equivalence by employing a lightweight latent mask encoder to define a latent-domain masking operation via a continuous, multi-channel representation. This principled representation faithfully models the forward process in the latent domain, enabling efficient, backpropagation-free solvers while bypassing the costly bottleneck of repeated VAE operations. InverseCrafter achieves high-fidelity, spatio-temporally coherent novel view synthesis with near-zero additional inference overhead and excels at general-purpose video inpainting and editing by fully preserving the pre-trained VDM's generative capabilities.

AnyView: Synthesizing Any Novel View in Dynamic Scenes

Modern generative video models excel at producing convincing, high-quality outputs, but struggle to maintain multi-view and spatiotemporal consistency in highly dynamic real-world environments. In this work, we introduce

\textbf{AnyView}

, a diffusion-based video generation framework for

\textit{dynamic view synthesis}

with minimal inductive biases or geometric assumptions. We leverage multiple data sources with various levels of supervision, including monocular (2D), multi-view static (3D) and multi-view dynamic (4D) datasets, to train a generalist spatiotemporal implicit representation capable of producing zero-shot novel videos from arbitrary camera locations and trajectories. We evaluate AnyView on standard benchmarks, showing competitive results with the current state of the art, and propose

\textbf{AnyViewBench}

, a challenging new benchmark tailored towards

\textit{extreme}

dynamic view synthesis in diverse real-world scenarios. In this more dramatic setting, we find that most baselines drastically degrade in performance, as they require significant overlap between viewpoints, while AnyView maintains the ability to produce realistic, plausible, and spatiotemporally consistent videos when prompted from

\textit{any}

viewpoint. Results, data, code, and models can be viewed at: https://tri-ml.github.io/AnyView/
