About this paper

Ruoyu Wang, Yi Ma, Shenghua Gao

Pensieve introduces a two-stage training framework that enables high-quality novel view synthesis from completely uncalibrated videos, removing the requirement for camera parameters or geometric priors. The method achieves accurate camera pose estimation and outperforms or matches state-of-the-art approaches in visual quality on benchmark datasets.

Key insights

  • A two-stage training strategy, separating implicit reconstruction from explicit 3D alignment, simplifies the challenging problem of learning from uncalibrated videos.
  • Implicit reconstruction pretraining in Stage 1 provides a crucial initialization, enabling the model to learn a coherent scene representation.
  • The explicit reconstruction in Stage 2 refines camera pose estimation and aligns latent representations with physically grounded 3D geometry.
