HARMONY framework reconstructs 3D scenes from single images

A new framework called HARMONY has been developed for reconstructing 3D scenes from single monocular images. This hierarchical approach combines agentic reasoning with visual geometry models to achieve semantically consistent and perceptually aligned scene reconstructions. HARMONY first establishes a spatial frame, then uses agentic VLM reasoning to determine room layout and object placement, refining geometry with point cloud estimations to better match the input image. Experiments show HARMONY outperforms existing baselines and offers more faithful object arrangements compared to GPT-6 Astra. AI

IMPACT This framework could advance single-image 3D reconstruction, enabling more detailed and semantically accurate scene generation for applications in virtual reality and robotics.

    HARMONY: Hierarchical Agentic Reasoning for MONocular Image-to-Scene Synthesis

    arXiv:2609.26793v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Compositional 3D scene reconstruction has recently been explored from two directions: agentic reasoning that provides semantic understanding of spatial relationships but lacks precise alignment with input images; and visual geom…
