Single-View 3D Reconstruction

Reconstructing complete 3D object assets from monocular or sparse multi-view observations remains challenging. Generative 3D foundation models can complete object geometry beyond the observed views, but their predictions may not faithfully reproduce the observed geometry, appearance, or pose. We introduce GenIA, a framework for test-time input-aligned generation that grounds SAM3D's generative prior in geometric and photometric observations without retraining the foundation model. We improve object pose by deriving translation and scale from geometry while retaining the learned rotation prior, and align appearance through visibility-biased attention, cross-observation fusion, and differentiable rendering guidance during denoising. An optional post-denoising refinement further adapts the appearance latent, lightweight decoder adapters, and object placement to the observations. Our framework also supports externally supplied geometry; when given temporal shapes of dynamic objects, it recovers a shared, input-aligned canonical appearance and stable world-space placement. Across synthetic and real benchmarks, GenIA improves pose prediction and object reconstruction from monocular, multi-view, and dynamic inputs, outperforming recent optimization-based, per-frame image-to-3D, and video-to-4D methods.

Single-view 3D reconstructors often produce plausible meshes that disagree with the input view, especially near depth discontinuities and self-occlusions. We present a lightweight, plug-and-play RGBD-to-3D refinement that improves any RGB-to-3D reconstructor without retraining. Given a depth map, we correct the visible surface by bipartite matching to back-projected depth points, mirror these corrections onto the occluded side across a detected symmetry plane, and propagate them with a smoothness solver. Every stage is closed-form, making the method orders of magnitude faster than optimization-heavy test-time refinement. On GSO and OmniObject3D with five backbones, it yields consistent gains, also with monocular pseudo-depth, benefits more from symmetry on symmetric objects, and compares favorably with prior refinement in accuracy and runtime. It further improves an RGB-D-to-mesh reconstructor and transfers to real captures with noisy sensor depth.

We propose Tetris3D, a generative framework for single-image 3D scene reconstruction that recovers objects which are physically and geometrically coherent as a scene. Existing methods often generate objects independently or couple them implicitly, providing limited guidance for ensuring fine-grained spatial compatibility between neighboring objects that interact with one another. To address this, we explicitly condition the generation of each object on the geometry of surrounding objects and their physical relationships, guiding its shape and pose to remain geometrically and physically plausible within the scene. Moreover, we introduce ComOb, a physics simulation-based dataset of 1.2M scenes featuring physical interactions across diverse object categories, with per-object meshes and pairwise physical relation annotations. Comprehensive experiments on synthetic and realworld scenes show that Tetris3D recovers coherent object shapes and poses even when interacting regions are occluded, and achieves state-of-the-art performance in both generation quality and physical stability.

Single-image scene generation aims to produce a complete 3D scene mesh from a single image, including surfaces the camera did not observe. While pretrained 3D object generators encode a strong shape prior, they are mainly designed for isolated objects in a fixed canonical volume and focus mostly on indoor scenes, since diverse 3D data for outdoor scenes are quite limited. In this work, we present a method that redesigns such an object-centric generator, e.g., Trellis 2, to work on both indoor and outdoor scenes while retaining its prior. We accomplish this by (a) partitioning the scene into adaptive chunks that scale relative to the distance to the camera; nearby chunks have a smaller size to keep the finer detail, while distant structures, e.g., buildings, are covered by large chunks; (b) making the generator capture explicit 2D-3D correspondence by lifting image features and making the model aware of the free space, observed surface, and unobserved region; (c) synthesizing around 4,000 outdoor scenes to broaden the training data, as existing scene datasets are largely indoor. Experiments on Tanks and Temples, ScanNet++, and in-the-wild images show that our method outperforms all baselines in geometric accuracy and perceptual quality across both indoor and outdoor scenes.

Embodied agents benefit from 3D environments that combine visual fidelity to real-world observations with physical interactivity. Existing single-image tabletop reconstruction methods recover plausible scene geometry but typically represent objects as monolithic rigid bodies, limiting interaction to whole-object rigid motion and precluding executable part-level articulation. Meanwhile, recovering a scene layout consistent with the input view remains challenging because a single observation may admit multiple plausible pose-scale configurations. We present ArticuTable, a single-image 3D tabletop reconstruction framework that recovers both executable part-level articulation and an input-view-consistent scene layout. For object modeling, we introduce generation-robust articulation modeling (GRAM), which combines joint fitting guided by a multimodal large language model with semantic state reasoning to recover reliable joint parameters and valid motion ranges from imperfect monolithic proxy meshes, thereby converting them into executable articulated assets. For scene layout, we introduce progressive semantic-geometric scene registration (PSGSR), which progressively narrows the pose-scale search space under complementary metric, planar, and input-view constraints and resolves orientation ambiguity through structure-aware semantic correspondences, yielding a scene layout consistent with the input view. We further contribute ArticuTable-100, a curated collection of 100 simulation-ready tabletop scenes. Extensive evaluation, including a user study, demonstrates strong performance across visual fidelity, input-view consistency, articulation quality, physical plausibility, and simulation readiness.

We present SInGA, a novel method for learning Semantic Inpainting for animatable Gaussian head Avatars from a single image. Existing avatar approaches often rely on multi-view observations and lack effective handling of unobserved regions in single-view settings, limiting their applicability in such scenarios. To address this, we propose a semantic inpainting framework defined in UV space for completing unobserved facial regions. Our key insight lies in the structured topology of the UV representation, which provides consistent spatial correspondences and enables reliable completion of identity-specific features using the inherent symmetry cues of human faces. We extract features from observed regions and use them to complete unobserved regions. The completed representation is then used to regress Gaussian attributes, effectively performing Gaussian inpainting. In addition, instead of relying on a single Gaussian at each surface or pixel location, we stack multiple Gaussians to enhance detail. The resulting avatar generalizes across identities without requiring per-identity optimization and can be animated with driving inputs. Experimental results show that our method generates high-quality head avatars with improved completeness and identity preservation, while supporting realistic animation and consistent rendering from unobserved views.

A 3D scene reconstructed from a single image is most useful when represented not as a rendering or a fixed 3D output, but as an explicit scene program whose execution yields a scene that can be inspected, edited, and queried. We present LEGO-Anything, an Image-to-Code framework in which a coding agent iteratively writes and executes Blender code, inspects scenes and renderings, and revises the program. To evaluate end-to-end scene recovery, we introduce LEGO-Bench, a simulator-grounded benchmark with 208 images from 104 diverse indoor and outdoor scenes. LEGO-Bench separately scores artifact validity, visible-surface geometry, and rendered appearance. Its simulator-grounded design enables extensibility and precise automatic evaluation. Among evaluated agents, GPT-6-astra achieves the strongest overall results, with 53.4% indoor and 39.6% outdoor scores, yet substantial gaps remain between delivering valid scene artifacts and faithfully recovering scene geometry and appearance. Analysis of agent construction trajectories reveals three recurring issues: weak scene initialization, regressive edits during iteration, and unreliable self-evaluation. These findings motivate LEGO-Plugin, a training-free harness plugin for more controlled iterative scene construction, which improves all six evaluated models, with relative gains of up to 62.7% in overall score. Finally, we test whether reconstructed scenes can represent natural images and support vision tasks. In LEGO-World, we derive object detections, instance masks, and relative depth as deterministic queries on scenes reconstructed by GPT-6-astra. These readouts show non-trivial performance across all three tasks but fall well short of specialized vision models, suggesting that program-constructed scenes from current coding agents are a promising but not yet sufficiently precise representation of natural images.

Scaling image-to-3D generation to ultra-high resolutions requires controlling rapidly growing computational costs without sacrificing fine geometric detail. We present \textbf{Filigree3D}, a sparse latent flow-matching framework that generates 3D geometry from a single image at voxel resolutions up to $2048^3$, with straightforward extensibility to $4096^3$. To make training tractable, we introduce Structure-Aware Sparse Scaling, which combines spatial bounding with alternating local-global attention to constrain token growth while preserving both fine-scale details and long-range structural context. To enhance detail reconstruction, we curate training samples based on their high-resolution geometric gains and inject multi-scale image features into a sparse 3D DiT, effectively coupling structural semantics with fine-grained visual cues. Furthermore, a visibility-aware voxel regularization strategy improves robustness against sparse perturbations and facilitates the completion of unobserved geometry. Under our default configuration, Filigree3D maintains peak GPU memory consumption within practical limits for contemporary hardware, enabling the generation of highly intricate 3D geometry in approximately one minute. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method yields substantial improvements in overall geometric fidelity and fine-detail preservation compared to existing baselines, validating practical, detail-preserving 3D generation at unprecedented resolutions.

Compositional 3D scene reconstruction has recently been explored from two directions: agentic reasoning that provides semantic understanding of spatial relationships but lacks precise alignment with input images; and visual geometry foundation models that predict dense point maps from input images but the reconstruction quality is limited. Therefore, recovering a complete 3D scene from a single monocular image with accurate inter-object relationships and high-fidelity reconstruction quality remains challenging. In this paper, we present HARMONY, a hierarchical chain-of-thought framework that leverages both agentic reasoning and visual geometry foundation. Given an image of an indoor scene, starting from an empty 3D floorplan, HARMONY first calibrates the camera against the reference image to establish a semantically-grounded spatial frame, then uses agentic VLM reasoning to recover the 3D room layout and an initial placement order. It then places the objects in a hierarchical order, from wall-mounted elements, free-standing furniture, to dependent decorations on top of furniture. We also use depth-first traversal for furniture so each placement conditions on previously resolved structure and a reflective feedback loop to avoid error accumulation. After each object placement by VLM, we use the point cloud estimations to perform geometry-based refinement so that the rendered image aligns better with the input. HARMONY can produce 3D scenes that are semantically consistent and perceptually aligned with the reference image, extending single-image compositional reconstruction to complex indoor scene images. Experiments on synthetic and real-world images demonstrate that HARMONY outperforms the evaluated reconstruction baselines, while qualitative comparisons with GPT-6 Astra suggest more faithful object arrangements and better preservation of scene details.

Robots operating safely in cluttered everyday environments often need to infer scene geometry from partial observations. Methods that detect objects in 2D and reconstruct them independently struggle in such scenes: a missed object is never reconstructed, a merged detection can fuse two objects, and separately reconstructed meshes may overlap or fail to touch their supporting surfaces. We introduce CODA (Complete Once, Decompose Afterward), a generative model that instead reconstructs the complete scene geometry from a single unsegmented RGB-D image, then separates the surface into the surrounding environment and movable objects. Still, generated scene geometry can drift from the observed partial point cloud. To reduce this drift, CODA uses two explicit 3D grounding mechanisms to keep reconstructed geometry consistent with observed surfaces while completing unseen regions. Experiments on HomebrewedDB and our custom cluttered-scene dataset show more accurate reconstructions and a higher fraction of objects remaining in place under simulated gravity than both object-first and scene-first baselines.

Single-image 3D object generation can now produce high-fidelity assets, yet accurately placing them into a coherent scene layout remains an open challenge. A central difficulty lies in how object layout is represented. Holistic methods absorb placement into a scene-level generation process, sacrificing object-level detail. Compositional methods preserve object fidelity by decoupling geometry from layout, but typically parameterize layout as sparse, unbounded pose variables that are difficult to learn and generalize poorly under scarce scene-level supervision. We present Mira-Scene, a compositional 3D scene reconstruction framework that replaces sparse pose regression with dense, bounded correspondence recovery. At its core is the Canonical Coordinate Map (CCM), a pixel-aligned field that maps each visible object pixel to a surface coordinate in the object's bounded canonical space. When paired with a scene-space Point Cloud Map (PCM) from monocular geometry estimation, CCM induces dense canonical-to-scene correspondences from which object transformations are recovered through robust geometric alignment. Because CCM operates in bounded canonical space, it provides a stable prediction target that can be trained from scalable object-level 3D data without requiring scene-level layout annotations. Mira-Scene further introduces a multimodal diffusion transformer that jointly generates object geometry and CCMs, using modality-specific expert streams with shared attention and positional encoding to promote geometry-layout consistency. Experiments on indoor, outdoor, synthetic, and in-the-wild scenes show that Mira-Scene substantially outperforms strong baselines in layout accuracy, achieving relative gains of 39.8% in 3D-IoU and 16.5% in 2D-IoU over SAM3D, using limited open-source training data.

Recent single-view feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) generation predicts a fixed number of Gaussians per camera ray, introducing severe spatial redundancy. Most existing compaction strategies target multi-view setups to exploit cross-view consistency and are incompatible with single-image models. Instead of retraining the base feed-forward network to directly output compact representations, our insight is to keep the base models frozen and apply post-hoc pruning and recurrent refinement to the generated Gaussians. Consequently, we propose a backbone-agnostic compaction pipeline for single-view feed-forward 3DGS that couples an importance-score-based pruning mechanism with a trainable, lightweight recurrent refinement module, which iteratively updates the surviving primitives to restore image quality. Our results demonstrate seamless integration with existing baselines while preserving novel-view rendering fidelity and achieving high memory reduction. Furthermore, our method supports flexible inference-time keep ratios for application needs.

Figurative paintings are often approached as if they depict a single recoverable 3D scene: viewers infer depth and occlusion, and reconstruction pipelines attempt to converge to one stable model. We instead foreground multi-solutionness, the non-uniqueness of 3D configurations compatible with a single painted image, and propose a workflow that keeps this non-uniqueness visible and material. Multi-solutionness arises from two sources: unobserved content, where backsides and occluded volumes admit multiple plausible completions, and observed cues, where perspective, shading, and occlusion still underconstrain geometry. When additional views are synthesized by a video generative model without explicit 3D constraints, small frame-level drifts become inevitable rather than exceptional. Our pipeline samples multiple camera-orbit multi-view video sequences from one painting, reconstructs each sequence with 3D Gaussian Splatting into a point-based Gaussian scene representation where density halos and ghosting expose unresolved degrees of freedom, and fabricates these representations as physical artifacts using DreamPrinting. By treating multiple compatible interpretations as explicit outputs rather than residual error, we provide a computational framework for spatial readings of figurative painting that can be inspected, compared, and discussed in both digital and physical form.

Novel-view synthesis from a single image is a fundamentally ambiguous problem. As the camera moves away from the input viewpoint, previously hidden regions become visible, exposing missing geometry and holes in the reconstructed scene. Existing methods often rely on generative models to complete such regions. However, many of these artifacts are small gaps near depth boundaries and do not require generating new scene content. In order to eliminate expensive process of generating image we introduce ORCA, an occlusion-aware method for reconstructing and completing explorable 3D scenes from a single image. ORCA first introduces 3D structure into a Gaussian-anchor representation using monocular depth while preserving the original camera-ray correspondence. During scene exploration, missing regions are handled based on their size and structure. Small disocclusions are repaired using RGB-D information already available in the reconstruction, while generative inpainting is reserved for larger regions that cannot be reliably recovered from the scene. New Gaussian anchors are added and optimized locally without modifying the existing representation. By reducing unnecessary reliance on generative inpainting, ORCA limits generation-induced hallucinations and better preserves the content and structure of the original scene. On DIV2K, ORCA improves novel-view quality over VistaDream across all reported metrics, increasing MUSIQ from 61.60 to 68.71 and CLIP-IQA from 0.474 to 0.574. These results show that many novel-view artifacts can be repaired effectively by reusing information already present in the reconstructed scene.

Code world models represent worlds as executable programs, but this representation alone does not determine how to construct a complex world. We introduce Recursive Code World Models (RCWM), a framework for reconstructing complex 3D worlds in code from a single reference image. RCWM couples a Recursive Scene Program (RSP) representation with a construction solver that recursively calls itself. An RSP represents the executable world as compositional scene code, while each solver call follows the same complete process: establish the whole, recursively reconstruct unresolved parts, and revisit the whole to refine their composition. This global-local-global recursion gives fine-scale structures their own perception-and-editing loops while preserving scene-wide geometry and relationships. Reference-aligned views propagate a shared camera projection across levels, while parent revisitation addresses boundaries, spatial relations, and shared errors that emerge after local refinement. A vision-language coding agent directly compares reference images with scene renders to guide refinement, recursive descent, and return. Across complex scenes, RCWM outperforms prior code-based image-to-scene reconstruction methods. Ablation studies further support the benefits of recursive construction and suggest that deeper calls can improve finer-scale reconstruction. RCWM provides a recursive construction principle for building complex executable worlds from visual evidence.

Reconstructing volumetric Computed Tomography (CT) from a single 2D chest radiograph (CXR) is an ill-posed inverse problem, further complicated by the scarcity of paired CXR-CT training data. Prior approaches address this by training on Digitally Reconstructed Radiographs (DRRs), which are synthetic projections derived from CT volumes. However, the domain gap between DRRs and real CXRs limits generalization, often resulting in coarse or anatomically inconsistent reconstructions when applied to clinical images. To address this challenging problem, this study introduces a Multi-Pass Multi-View Blended Learning framework for synthesizing high-fidelity volumetric CT directly from real chest X-ray (CXR) images. The proposed approach progressively decomposes the synthesis task into two distinct, complementary learning stages. Stage 1 is an unsupervised CXR-to-DRR Domain Adaptation, while Stage 2 includes three passes, namely, (a) supervised DRR-to-CT Transformation, (b) unsupervised Multi-View Slice Refinement, followed by (c) Progressive Transfer Learning (PTL). With such a blended learning paradigm, the proposed approach mitigates the synthetic-to-real domain gap while enhancing both the structural integrity and anatomical detail of the final output. On the LIDC-IDRI dataset, where paired DRR-CT ground truth is available for quantitative evaluation, the proposed method improves upon prior methods by up to 14% in PSNR and 7.6% in SSIM. The framework successfully generates structurally consistent and anatomically realistic high-fidelity CT volumes from real CXRs, marking a significant advancement toward clinical viability of CT reconstruction from standard radiographic images.

Reconstructing a fully animatable 3D animal from a single image remains challenging because animation-ready assets require not only plausible geometry, but also a unified topology, editable appearance, and fur representations compatible with deformation and simulation. Existing image-to-3D approaches often rely on implicit or loosely structured representations that are difficult to rig or edit, while parametric animal models support animation but cannot capture detailed texture and fur appearance. We present AnimalLift, a framework for reconstructing structured, animation-compatible 3D animal assets with explicit fur from a single image. Our method lifts an input image into a shared canonical space with a consistent topology and UV parameterization across the dataset, enabling joint prediction of canonical geometry, texture, and fur in a unified feed-forward architecture. A key component of our representation is a UV-aligned fur map that encodes strand geometry in a surface-aligned canonical domain, allowing explicit fur reconstruction compatible with mesh deformation and fur simulation. To train the model, we introduce a procedural data generation pipeline that provides large-scale supervision with aligned geometry, texture, and fur across diverse animal species and appearances. Experiments on synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate strong reconstruction quality and generalization across animal categories. Beyond reconstruction, our structured representation directly supports downstream applications including animation, pose transfer, fur editing, and simulation-compatible rendering.

We present FIRE3D, a unified framework that transforms a single RGB image or casual video into interactable 3D scene assets for games and interactive applications in under a minute for up to twelve textured instances including preprocessing. At the core of FIRE3D is a feed-forward inference pipeline that predicts a compositional scene representation from posed RGB-D observations estimated from the RGB capture, including the 6-DoF pose, bounding box, mesh, and texture for detected objects. By modeling the scene as a collection of discrete entities, FIRE3D produces amodal object assets that can be independently edited and used in interactive applications. Our framework requires no test-time optimization, runs substantially faster than the compared reconstruction systems, and provides object-level completeness beyond existing feed-forward 3D approaches. We demonstrate leading detection accuracy, strong geometry reconstruction, and competitive rendering quality on the evaluated benchmarks, with substantial runtime gains.

Reconstructing editable Computer-Aided Design (CAD) models from images is essential for downstream modification, manufacturing, and design reuse. However, existing image-to-CAD methods are developed predominantly on synthetic renderings and face two coupled obstacles: a substantial appearance domain gap between synthetic and real images, and a previously overlooked parameter bias in widely used CAD data. We show that the local normalization adopted by DeepCAD concentrates several geometric parameters around a few discrete values while encoding substantial information in a single scale factor. Consequently, a model can achieve deceptively high parameter accuracy by exploiting these frequent values rather than inferring geometry from the input image. In this paper, we propose RealCAD, a unified framework that addresses these limitations at the representation, image, and feature levels. At the representation level, we redistribute scale information to the corresponding geometric parameters, producing less concentrated parameter distributions in a shared scale space. At the image level, geometry-constrained translation converts synthetic renderings toward the real-image domain while conditioning on object contours. At the feature level, a multi-positive contrastive objective aligns representations of the same CAD model across viewpoints and image domains, enabling CAD sequence prediction from each individual view. We further introduce OpenRealCAD, comprising four-view photographs of 392 3D-printed objects paired with ground-truth command sequences. Experiments show that the revised representation substantially reduces the accuracy attainable from parameter-frequency priors, making parameter accuracy a more reliable measure of image-conditioned geometric inference. RealCAD further improves real-domain command and parameter accuracy, while retaining competitive synthetic-domain performance.

Existing monocular full-body 3D human-object interaction (HOI) methods do not combine explicit finger-level grasp optimization with category-agnostic object reconstruction. Despite plausible body-object configurations, their fingers may float from or penetrate objects instead of forming a grasp. We present GraspHOI, the first framework that reconstructs a full-body 3D HOI from a single image while explicitly optimizing finger articulation against the reconstructed object. GraspHOI recovers object geometry directly, without predefined meshes or a fixed category vocabulary. It reconstructs the body, hands, and object separately, aligning them in metric camera space via depth-based registration and image-space alignment. Occlusion-aware palmar correspondences seat the object against the grasping hand, and contact-aware optimization refines arm and finger articulation to form surface contact without excessive penetration. Across four benchmarks and six baselines, GraspHOI improves relative human-object placement, hand accuracy, and contact plausibility. Full pipeline code will be released.

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.

Reconstruction of 3D objects from a single image is a fundamental research topic in computer vision. The key challenge is the lack of information from critical viewpoints to complete 3D structures. Using an additional view may help to resolve the issue. However, there is no mechanism that can integrate the extra view into the diffusion-based single-view 3D reconstruction principle. We address this challenge by proposing ASV3D, a framework for adapting diffusion-based single-view 3D object reconstruction to test-time data with support from one additional image. We introduce two adaptation strategies: (i) a zero-shot adaptation scheme that leverages the auxiliary image to improve the reconstruction quality of an object without retraining, and (ii) an optimised adaptation scheme that further enhances visual fidelity and cross-view consistency via contrastive learning. We apply our ASV3D to improve two state-of-the-art diffusion-based single-view 3D reconstruction pipelines on both benchmark and real-world datasets. Results demonstrate that our approach consistently improves reconstruction accuracy and robustness under unconstrained multi-view inputs, outperforming the baselines in both quantitative metrics and human preference. We publish our code and the real-world object dataset on our project page at https://github.com/YNhuHuynh/ASV3D/tree/main.

Single-image feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) aims to directly generate a renderable 3D scene representation from one input image, avoiding the cost of multi-view capture and per-scene optimization. However, existing methods are often constrained by a pixel-aligned representation, where Gaussians are predicted from fixed image-grid locations. Such pixel-aligned primitives can produce promising nearby-view renderings, but they remain weakly coupled to underlying scene surfaces and struggle to preserve coherent structures under large viewpoint shifts. We present InfiniSplat, a feed-forward single-image 3DGS framework that moves from a pixel-aligned representation toward a surface-aligned representation. InfiniSplat constructs this representation by first using geometry-guided sampling to place 2D supports according to depth-induced local surface structure, and then applying a query-conditioned implicit decoder to predict Gaussian attributes from the image features queried at these supports. By grounding support locations in geometry while decoupling Gaussian prediction from fixed pixel centers, InfiniSplat produces Gaussian layouts that better follow scene surfaces and reduce scattered primitives caused by grid discretization. Across multiple cross-dataset NVS evaluations, InfiniSplat achieves state-of-the-art performance compared with single-image feed-forward baselines, and demonstrates zero-shot generalization from Hypersim indoor synthetic training to complex open-world scenes. Project page: https://zju3dv.github.io/InfiniSplat.

Single-image 3D hand avatar reconstruction is fundamentally ill-posed and particularly challenging due to limited visual evidence under severe self-occlusion and the complex pose-dependent deformation of highly articulated hands. Existing methods predominantly rely on implicit NeRF-style representations, whose volumetric fitting is computationally expensive and often struggles to preserve fine-grained hand details. In this work, we present OASIS, a tailored 3D Gaussian Splatting framework for single-image hand avatar reconstruction. To faithfully encode sparse image-specific appearance cues in single-view reconstruction, we construct geometry-aligned visual evidence tokens by explicitly aligning input image observations with 3D hand geometry and context-adaptively tokenizing the resulting visual evidence. Since severe self-occlusion makes the reliability of image evidence inherently visibility-dependent, we introduce a visibility-conditioned point-image attention to reliably transfer visual evidence to geometric tokens, yielding occlusion-aware Gaussian features for faithful and robust reconstruction. To further capture non-rigid deformation of articulated hands, we introduce a Feature-on-Mesh representation to enable Gaussian deformation to be guided by local surface stretching. Under this framework, we adopt a one-shot adaptation scheme that learns a shared hand prior from multi-identity training data and then fits it to a target image for target-specific reconstruction. Extensive experiments show that OASIS outperforms existing baselines in both visual fidelity and efficiency across challenging poses and in-the-wild scenarios, and further demonstrates strong versatility in downstream applications such as text-to-avatar generation and texture editing.

Reconstructing animatable 3D human avatars from a single image remains particularly challenging for loose garments, whose geometry and motion cannot be adequately represented by body-aligned topology and skinning. We present Forwardrobe, a feed-forward framework for reconstructing garment-aware Gaussian avatars from a single image. Forwardrobe explicitly separates clothing from the body in canonical Gaussian space and equips the garment layer with continuity-aware geometry and skinning initialization, pose-conditioned non-rigid deformation, and appearance adaptation. These designs improve garment reconstruction and visual quality during animation, particularly for skirts and dresses. The separated garment layer additionally forms an independently controllable 3D asset, enabling garment editing, transfer, and 3D virtual try-on. Experiments demonstrate improved garment reconstruction quality and greater flexibility in garment manipulation compared with existing single-image avatar reconstruction methods.

We propose S-Avatar, a novel method for generating photorealistic 3D head avatars from a single image using a diffusion-guided 3D model generation module and strategies for animating 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS). While single-image head avatar reconstruction is crucial for lifelike Virtual Reality (VR) applications, existing approaches often struggle to preserve 3D consistency under unseen viewpoints. S-Avatar addresses this limitation through a three-stage pipeline. First, a high-resolution 3DGS is synthesized directly from a single image using a diffusion-based Gaussian splat generation module. Next, the parametric head model FLAME is aligned with the generated 3DGS by optimizing its parameters and spatial transformations. Finally, to adapt the 3DGS to FLAME variations, we construct a binding template that encodes the spatial relationship between the initial splats and FLAME. The dynamic 3D head avatar can then be rendered in real time by deforming the 3DGS with the binding template. By combining diffusion-guided canonical 3DGS generation with FLAME-based control, our method achieves efficient and accurate reconstruction with enhanced 3D consistency. Evaluations on public datasets demonstrate that S-Avatar outperforms state-of-the-art methods in novel-view and expression generation, achieving superior realism and consistency. Consequently, our approach represents a significant advance in accessible avatar creation, applicable to a wide range of VR/AR applications. The project page is available at https://github.com/hailsong/savatar.

Editable 3D scene creation requires object instances and lights that can be inspected, moved, and imported into standard engines, yet existing single-image methods largely stop at room-scale geometry, baked/global illumination, or text-driven generation. We introduce Lumera (Light-aware Unified Engine-native Reconstruction and Assembly), a benchmark and reference pipeline for engine-native, light-aware 3D scene parsing from a single image. Lumera-2K is built from 2,513 UE5 projects and provides 3.73M components, 63M object instances, 102.6K engine-native parametric lights, and 95.1K camera views. On this data, Lumera-Box and Lumera-Light adapt VLM to parse object boxes and parametric light tuples (x,y,z,r,g,b,I), which are assembled with per-object mesh reconstruction, HDR environment estimation, and a bounded agentic refinement loop. In a sanitized box benchmark against DetAny3D, SpatialLM, N3D-VLM, and WildDet3D, Lumera-Box obtains the strongest overall detection, geometry, semantic, and layout scores (merged mAP 0.1141, IoU-B 0.2472, F-score 0.2762), while WildDet3D remains stronger on anchor recall. For lights, Lumera-Light recovers almost all non-empty scenes (recall 0.998) but remains limited at individual-light localization (F1 0.209 at 0.5 m); matched lights have median position error 0.261 m, median ΔE2000 4.59, and intensity Pearson r=0.628. These results establish parametric lights as a measurable editable-scene target and expose remaining bottlenecks in relation structure, light recall/intensity, and cross-engine generalization.

Single-view 3D reconstruction is a challenging task in computer vision due to information missing from the single input image. Generative model-based approaches can produce plausible 3D objects from a single image, thanks to data-driven priors learnt from rich and large-scale datasets. However, plausible generation does not guarantee fidelity to the geometry and appearance of the particular input object. Inspired by object perception in human vision, we propose OPERA, a framework that guides multi-view diffusion sampling with pretrained perception models through lightweight alignment modules. These modules are trained independently while both the generative and perception models remain frozen, allowing multiple signals to be combined at inference without joint fusion training. We evaluate OPERA on two single-view 3D reconstruction baselines using subsets of Google Scanned Objects and OmniObject3D. On the primary baseline, combined guidance reduces mean Chamfer Distance by 30.4% and 24.8%, respectively, relative to unguided reconstruction. We also compare our method with recent image-to-3D models. We provide in-depth analyses of the design choices and their effects across datasets and backbones. Our project page is at https://opera-3d.github.io/.

3D reconstruction of articulated objects from a single image is challenging because large training datasets with paired image and 3D supervision are difficult to obtain. Recent point map-based methods achieve strong performance but rely on synthetic datasets rendered from manually created articulated 3D assets with carefully curated pose distributions. While camera viewpoints can be easily sampled, generating realistic object articulations remains costly and labor-intensive. We propose a training framework that reduces this requirement by leveraging unannotated 2D images collections with only a single rigged canonical mesh per category. Starting from a weak 3D shape predictor trained on canonical-pose renders, we iteratively estimate object articulation and camera pose by fitting the mesh to predicted point maps. The recovered articulations and viewpoints are then used to render updated synthetic training data, progressively improving the predictor. Despite using substantially weaker 3D supervision, our models achieve performance comparable with DualPM, which requires manually curated articulated training datasets.

State-of-the-art single-image 3D reconstruction methods often rely on complex hybrid architectures and loss functions, or compress geometry into latent spaces in order to leverage pre-trained latent diffusion models. In this work, we show that such architectural overhead and intricate loss formulations are unnecessary. We introduce a minimalist pixel-space Diffusion Transformer, built on a plain ViT, that operates directly on raw 3D point map patches and is conditioned on image tokens from a pre-trained DINOv3. Unlike existing latent diffusion approaches, we train our diffusion backbone entirely from scratch, eliminating the need for point map tokenizers. Despite its simplicity, our approach surpasses complex latent-based diffusion models while remaining significantly simpler than hybrid alternatives. Notably, it produces sharper geometric structure and is more robust in highly ambiguous regions, such as transparent objects.
