Lighting-Consistent Object Transfer Across Radiance Fields

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) is widely used to capture and render real scenes. Compositing objects from one capture into another has applications in many domains, such as VFX, architecture and interior design, or marketing. However, extracting an object from a source scene and naively pasting it into a target scene will fail to produce realistic results due to the different lighting conditions between the two scenes. To address this problem, we introduce a diffusion model that harmonizes naively composited images with inconsistent lighting. The model is trained with a heterogeneous dataset of image pairs (inconsistent composite input, consistent output), combining synthetic, generated, and real data. Our complete 3D solution allows a user to extract an object from the source scene and composite it into the target scene. From this, the (inconsistent) views of the target scene with the composite object are rendered. Our diffusion model harmonizes each one of these views, which are finally consolidated in a 3DGS representation with a post-optimization step. Our method provides visually compelling results, making object transfer between 3DGS easy to use and significantly improving quality compared to previous methods.

Splat and Replace: 3D Reconstruction with Repetitive Elements

We leverage repetitive elements in 3D scenes to improve novel view synthesis. Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) and 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) have greatly improved novel view synthesis but renderings of unseen and occluded parts remain low-quality if the training views are not exhaustive enough. Our key observation is that our environment is often full of repetitive elements. We propose to leverage those repetitions to improve the reconstruction of low-quality parts of the scene due to poor coverage and occlusions. We propose a method that segments each repeated instance in a 3DGS reconstruction, registers them together, and allows information to be shared among instances. Our method improves the geometry while also accounting for appearance variations across instances. We demonstrate our method on a variety of synthetic and real scenes with typical repetitive elements, leading to a substantial improvement in the quality of novel view synthesis.
