A New Approach to Generating Natural Scenes from a Single Image

Check out a recent study focusing on the problem of perpetual view generation. The team studied how they can deal with the long-range generation of novel views using a single image.

"This is a challenging problem that goes far beyond the capabilities of current view synthesis methods, which work for a limited range of viewpoints and quickly degenerate when presented with a large camera motion," noted the team. "Methods designed for video generation also have limited ability to produce long video sequences and are often agnostic to scene geometry."

The new paper discusses a hybrid approach that relies both on geometry and image synthesis in "an iterative render, refine, and repeat framework." This new framework is said to be capable of a long-range generation that covers large distances after hundreds of frames.
