Researchers have developed a new method for reconstructing 3D object geometry, particularly when parts of the object are occluded. This approach combines generative models, which infer unseen shapes based on common object priors, with contact information derived from physical interactions. The method uses a drag-based generative image editing technique to guide the 3D generation process, improving reconstruction accuracy over existing pure 3D generation or contact-based optimization techniques, as demonstrated in experiments with both synthetic and real-world data.
