Key Points
- Pose-Aware Diffusion (PAD) is a new end-to-end diffusion framework aimed at generating 3D objects aligned with a target pose, addressing ambiguities in canonical-then-rotate pipelines.
- PAD generates 3D geometry directly in the observation space by unprojecting monocular depth into a partial point cloud and using it as an explicit 3D geometric anchor to provide stronger spatial supervision.
- The method removes pose ambiguity intrinsically, producing high-fidelity pose-aligned assets with improved geometric alignment.
- Experiments show PAD outperforms existing state-of-the-art approaches in both geometric alignment and image-to-3D correspondence.
- PAD can be extended to compositional 3D scene reconstruction by unioning independently generated objects, maintaining accurate spatial layouts across multiple parts.
