POCI-Diff framework generates synthetic surveillance data with 3D control

Researchers have developed POCI-Diff, a novel framework for generating synthetic visual surveillance data. This method allows for fine-grained 3D control over object placement and appearance, addressing limitations in existing synthetic data generation techniques. POCI-Diff integrates Blended Latent Diffusion with depth-conditioned ControlNet to create complex multi-object scenes in a single pass, binding text descriptions to specific 3D locations. The framework also includes an editing pipeline for object insertion, removal, and transformation, maintaining appearance consistency through IP-Adapter. AI

IMPACT Enables more robust and privacy-preserving training of visual surveillance models through controllable synthetic data generation.

    POCI-Diff: 3D-Layout Guided Diffusion for Controllable Synthetic Surveillance Data Generation

    arXiv:2601.14056v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Training robust visual surveillance models requires large-scale datasets with precise spatial annotations, yet collecting real surveillance data is costly, privacy-sensitive, and often legally constrained. Synthetic data g…
