PoInit-of-View: Poisoning Initialization of Views Transfers Across Multiple 3D Reconstruction Systems
Poisoning input views of 3D reconstruction systems has been recently studied. However, we identify that existing studies simply backpropagate adversarial gradients through the 3D reconstruction pipeline as a whole, without uncovering the new vulnerability rooted in specific modules of the 3D reconstruction pipeline. In this paper, we argue that the structure-from-motion (SfM) initialization, as the geometric core of many widely used reconstruction systems, can be targeted to achieve transferable poisoning effects across diverse 3D reconstruction systems. To this end, we propose PoInit-of-View, which optimizes adversarial perturbations to intentionally introduce cross-view gradient inconsistencies at projections of corresponding 3D points. These inconsistencies disrupt keypoint detection and feature matching, thereby corrupting pose estimation and triangulation within SfM, eventually resulting in low-quality rendered views. We also provide a theoretical analysis that connects cross-view inconsistency to correspondence collapse. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our PoInit-of-View on diverse 3D reconstruction systems and datasets, surpassing the single-view baseline by 25.1% in PSNR and 16.5% in SSIM in black-box transfer settings, such as 3DGS to NeRF.
POCI-Diff: Position Objects Consistently and Interactively with 3D-Layout Guided Diffusion
We propose a diffusion-based approach for Text-to-Image (T2I) generation with consistent and interactive 3D layout control and editing. While prior methods improve spatial adherence using 2D cues or iterative copy-warp-paste strategies, they often distort object geometry and fail to preserve consistency across edits. To address these limitations, we introduce a framework for Positioning Objects Consistently and Interactively (POCI-Diff), a novel formulation for jointly enforcing 3D geometric constraints and instance-level semantic binding within a unified diffusion process. Our method enables explicit per-object semantic control by binding individual text descriptions to specific 3D bounding boxes through Blended Latent Diffusion, allowing one-shot synthesis of complex multi-object scenes. We further propose a warping-free generative editing pipeline that supports object insertion, removal, and transformation via regeneration rather than pixel deformation. To preserve object identity and consistency across edits, we condition the diffusion process on reference images using IP-Adapter, enabling coherent object appearance throughout interactive 3D editing while maintaining global scene coherence. Experimental results demonstrate that POCI-Diff produces high-quality images consistent with the specified 3D layouts and edits, outperforming state-of-the-art methods in both visual fidelity and layout adherence while eliminating warping-induced geometric artifacts.
