Abstract

We live in a 3D world, performing activities and interacting with objects in the indoor environments everyday. Indoor scenes are the most familiar and essential environments in everyone's life. In the virtual world, 3D indoor scenes are also ubiquitous in 3D games and interior design. With the fast development of VR/AR devices and the emerging applications, the demand of realistic 3D indoor scenes keeps growing rapidly. Currently, designing detailed 3D indoor scenes requires proficient 3D designing and modeling skills and is often time-consuming. For novice users, creating realistic and complex 3D indoor scenes is even more difficult and challenging. Many efforts have been made in different research communities, e.g. computer graphics, vision and robotics, to capture, analyze and generate the 3D indoor data. This report mainly focuses on the recent research progress in graphics on geometry, structure and semantic analysis of 3D indoor data and different modeling techniques for creating plausible and realistic indoor scenes. We first review works on understanding and semantic modeling of scenes from captured 3D data of the real world. Then, we focus on the virtual scenes composed of 3D CAD models and study methods for 3D scene analysis and processing. After that, we survey various modeling paradigms for creating 3D indoor scenes and investigate human-centric scene analysis and modeling, which bridge indoor scene studies of graphics, vision and robotics. At last, we discuss open problems in indoor scene processing that might bring interests to graphics and all related communities.

ReCHOIR: Contact-guided Human Object Interaction Retargeting to Diverse Characters

We present ReCHOIR, a novel contact-guided motion retargeting method for transferring human object interaction (HOI) motions across diverse humanoid characters. Unlike prior motion retargeting methods that primarily focus on transferring human motion alone, our goal is to preserve not only the semantics of the original body movement but also consistent interaction between the character and the manipulated object, while jointly producing aligned target human and object motions. Given source HOI motion, object geometry, and contact cues extracted from the source interaction, ReCHOIR retargets an HOI sequence to target characters with different skeletal configurations while maintaining both motion semantics and contact-consistent interaction patterns. Our method builds on a Part-Aware Motion Embedding (PAME) autoencoder, which encodes full-body motion into a shared body-part-wise latent space. This representation enables generalization across heterogeneous skeletons while preserving local motion semantics beneficial for part-aware adaptation in HOI retargeting. On top of this representation, we introduce a contact-guided retargeting module and an object motion decoder for HOI retargeting. The contact-guided retargeting module treats the source object interaction as a condition for refining target character motion: object- and contact-related signals are encoded into a body-part-aligned latent representation and injected into decoding through a residual control branch, enabling stronger adaptation in interaction-relevant body regions without discarding the underlying motion prior. In parallel, the object motion decoder predicts a target object motion aligned with the refined target character motion, ensuring that the object trajectory remains consistent with how the interaction is realized by the target character.

Gaussian Light Transport

We present a novel method for computing global illumination by expressing the solution to the light transport equation as a 13D Gaussian mixture model over positions, directions, surface normals, and material properties. We show that including scene properties in the Gaussian representation drastically reduces the number of functions and speeds up evaluation. As opposed to traditional light transport methods based on Neumann series, the parameters of our model are directly estimated by minimizing the residual of the rendering equation. While both optimization and rendering require repeated evaluations of a linear combination of high-dimensional Gaussian functions, we introduce an efficient culling strategy to keep the optimization tractable and produce renderings in real time. Our representation enables to render fast, view-independent solutions to the light transport equation, achieving rendering times on the order of milliseconds, with a fraction of the memory requirements of conventional neural rendering approaches.

Hologram Representation via Quadratic Phase Gaussian Splatting

We introduce Complex-Valued Quadratic Phase Gaussian (CVQPG), a novel hologram representation method that replaces standard 2D Gaussian representations used in 2D Gaussian Splatting with 2D quadratic phase functions. CVQPG incorporates additional learnable parameters to control the curvature of these bases. We evaluate our approach against state-of-the-art methods, exceeding the visual quality by +0.19 dB (RGB) and +0.33 dB (grayscale) on average in holographic reconstructions. Specifically, our equal parameter count evaluations show that modulating the primitive's wavefront is an effective and lightweight enhancement for hologram representations. In addition, our frequency domain analysis illustrates that CVQPG has successfully preserved the mid-to-high frequency band of natural images.
