Abstract
Synthesizing photorealistic driving videos along specified trajectories is essential for scalable closed-loop simulation. Reconstruction-based methods leverage neural rendering to synthesize geometrically consistent views, but often exhibit diverse artifacts and missing content when the viewpoint deviates from the training trajectory. In contrast, generative models can synthesize realistic views along arbitrary trajectories from vehicle sensor data, yet often struggle to maintain temporal and geometric consistency across frames. To combine the strengths of both, we propose PRG-Fusion, a framework for driving view synthesis that uses reconstruction evidence to orchestrate generative priors across regions. Specifically, we extract region-wise degradation evidence from reconstructed driving scenes and convert it into Preserve, Repair, and Generate (PRG) labels. At inference, these labels serve as a unified routing policy for region-aware spatiotemporal synthesis, orchestrating 3DGS appearance preservation, LiDAR-guided structural correction, and video-prior-driven content completion across Preserve, Repair, and Generate regions, respectively. We follow a two-stage training paradigm, first establishing geometric control from sparse LiDAR projections and subsequently learning appearance control from dense 3DGS renderings. Extensive experiments on Waymo demonstrate that PRG-Fusion achieves state-of-the-art overall performance in novel trajectory video synthesis, with superior visual quality and geometric fidelity while maintaining competitive view consistency under large trajectory shifts.
Method
Reconstruction evidence and regional routing. We combine trajectory-dependent unreliability with observation and geometric support to distinguish reliable reconstruction, degraded structure, and missing content. The resulting PRG labels modulate the appearance and geometry branches spatially: Preserve regions retain reliable 3DGS appearance, Repair regions emphasize LiDAR-guided structural correction, and Generate regions rely on the video prior for content completion.
Geometry-first, appearance-second training. We first establish geometric control using sparse colored LiDAR projections, then learn appearance control from dense 3DGS renderings. At inference, PRG-guided fusion balances the two control signals according to local reconstruction quality.
