"GaussianAnything: Interactive Point Cloud Latent Diffusion for 3D Generation"

The podcast on this paper is generated with Google's Illuminate.

GaussianAnything transforms single images into editable 3D models using point cloud latent spaces.

Bridges the gap between 2D inputs and high-quality 3D generation.

It uses a point cloud-structured latent space amulti-view RGB-D-Normal renderings as input, enabling high-quality, interactive 3D generation from text or single images.

🎯 Original Problem:

→ Current 3D generation methods struggle with three major challenges: limited input formats, inefficient latent space design, and suboptimal output representations.

→ Existing methods either use point clouds that miss texture details or multi-view images that lackrect 3D information.

-----

🔧 Solution in this Paper:

→ The framework employs a Variational Autoencoder with multi-view posed RGB-D-Normal renderings as input.

→ It introduces a point cloud-structured latent space that preserves 3D shape information through cross-attention mechanisms.

→ The system uses a cascaded latent diffusion model with flow matching for improved shape-texture separation.

→ It generates high-quality surfel Gaussians through an attention-based decoder for efficient rendering.

-----

💡 Key Insights:

→ Multi-view RGB-D-Normal input provides richer 3D information than traditional point clouds

→ Point cloud-structured latent space enables direct 3D editing and better geometry control

→ Cascaded diffusion approach improves shape-texture disentanglement

-----

📊 Results:

→ Achieves state-of-the-art performance on 3D metrics with P-FID of 8.72 and P-KID of 3.22%

→ Outperforms existing methods in both text and image-conditioned 3D generation

→ Shows superior performance in novel view synthesis and geometry reconstruction
