• Abstract summary: We recover the underlying 3D structure from images of cartoons and anime depicting the same scene. Our key insight is to deform the input images while recovering camera poses and scene geometry. Our recovered point clouds can be plugged into novel-view synthesis methods to experience cartoons from viewpoints never drawn before.

• Abstract: We recover the underlying 3D structure from images of cartoons and anime depicting the same scene. This is an interesting problem domain because images in creative media are often depicted without explicit geometric consistency for storytelling and creative expression-they are only 3D in a qualitative sense. While humans can easily perceive the underlying 3D scene from these images, existing Structure-from-Motion (SfM) methods that assume 3D consistency fail catastrophically. We present Toon3D for reconstructing geometrically inconsistent images. Our key insight is to deform the input images while recovering camera poses and scene geometry, effectively explaining away geometrical inconsistencies to achieve consistency. This process is guided by the structure inferred from monocular depth predictions. We curate a dataset with multi-view imagery from cartoons and anime that we annotate with reliable sparse correspondences using our user-friendly annotation tool. Our recovered point clouds can be plugged into novel-view synthesis methods to experience cartoons from viewpoints never drawn before. We evaluate against classical and recent learning-based SfM methods, where Toon3D is able to obtain more reliable camera poses and scene geometry.

  We introduce the Dual Point Maps (DualPM), where a pair of point maps is extracted from the same image, one associating pixels to their 3D locations on the object, and the other to a canonical version of the object at rest pose. We show that 3D reconstruction and 3D pose estimation reduce to the prediction of the DualPMs.

  We propose a novel neural reconstruction method that reconstructs scenes using sparse depth under the plane constraints without 3D supervision. We introduce a signed distance function field, a color field, and a probability field to represent a scene. We optimize these fields to reconstruct the scene by using differentiable ray marching with accessible 2D images as supervision.
