ProDiG: Progressive Diffusion-Guided Gaussian Splatting for Aerial to Ground Reconstruction

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2604.02003v1 Announce Type: new Generating ground-level views and coherent 3D site models from aerial-only imagery is challenging due to extreme viewpoint changes, missing intermediate observations, and large scale variations. Existing methods either refine renderings post-hoc, often producing geometrically inconsistent results, or rely on multi-altitude ground-truth, which is rarely available. Gaussian Splatting and diffusion-based refinements improve fidelity under small variations but fail under wide aerial-to-ground gaps. To address these limitations, we.
