Cao and colleagues present a video generation system in which users prescribe camera and object trajectories in a shared 3D coordinate system.

The authors represent a video as an explicit 4D scene, meaning 3D geometry that changes over time.

From Stability AI and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

In one line

Using explicit rigid 3D geometry to control video world models achieves better camera and object control than prior methods.
