Depth-to-RGB framework enhances scene compositing with predicted depth

Researchers have developed a new framework called Depth-to-RGB (D2R) that enhances object compositing by predicting the depth of a scene before it is rendered in RGB. This method repurposes a frozen depth estimator by learning reference-conditioned corrections, which are then used to guide an RGB renderer. The D2R framework significantly improves geometric accuracy and photometric quality compared to existing baselines, demonstrating strong generalization capabilities on various benchmarks. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more realistic and geometrically consistent image compositing in various applications, from graphic design to virtual environments.

    Depth-to-RGB: Repurposing a Frozen Depth Estimator for Geometry-Guided Compositing

    arXiv:2610.09125v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reference-based object compositing inserts or replaces an object using a background image, a reference image, and a 2D compositing mask. These inputs guide appearance and placement but leave the completed scene's geometry implicit, …
