InfCam presents a robust, depth-free framework for camera-controlled video generation that leverages infinite homography warping and a comprehensive data augmentation pipeline to synthesize dynamic scenes. The system achieved a Rotation Error of 3.162 and Translation Error of 0.438 on the WebVid dataset, demonstrating superior camera-pose fidelity and visual quality compared to prior methods.

Key insights

  • Explicitly encoding 3D camera rotation via depth-free infinite homography warping provides a robust, noise-free conditioning signal that significantly improves pose fidelity by constraining the search space for parallax.
  • Decomposing the reprojection task into a known rotational warp and a learned residual parallax enables the generative model to implicitly refine 3D geometry and depth through end-to-end training.
  • Targeted data augmentation, specifically varying initial camera poses and focal lengths, is crucial for mitigating dataset biases and achieving strong generalization across diverse camera trajectories and fields of view.
