Generating Vivid and Interactive 3D Scenes with Hierarchical 2D Inpainting

Neural Information Processing Systems 

Creating large-scale interactive 3D environments is essential for the development of Robotics and Embodied AI research. However, generating diverse embodied environments with realistic detail and considerable complexity remains a significant challenge. Current methods, including manual design, procedural generation, diffusion-based scene generation, and large language model (LLM) guided scene design, are hindered by limitations such as excessive human effort, reliance on predefined rules or training datasets, and limited 3D spatial reasoning ability.
