Abstract
A method for generating photorealistic 4D scenes from text inputs is disclosed. The method utilizes a text-to-video diffusion model to generate a reference video and a freeze-time video. A canonical 3D representation is reconstructed using deformable 3D Gaussian Splats (D-3DGS) based on the freeze-time video. Temporal deformations are learned to capture dynamic interactions in the reference video. The method employs a novel Score Distillation Sampling strategy combining multi-view and temporal aspects to enhance consistency and robustness. The resulting 4D scenes feature multiple objects interacting with detailed background environments, viewable from different angles and times. The method enables flexible camera control and integration with augmented and virtual reality applications. Some examples include features such as image-to-4D generation.
