Visual evidence of reduced noise and sharper depth transitions compared to state-of-the-art latent models. 4. Conclusion

Implementation of a Diffusion Transformer (DiT) specifically tuned for depth map synthesis.

This paper explores the transition from latent-space diffusion models to pixel-space diffusion generation . We address the "flying pixel" artifact—a common byproduct of Variational Autoencoder (VAE) compression—by performing diffusion directly in the pixel domain. By leveraging semantics-prompted diffusion , our approach ensures high-quality point cloud reconstruction from single-view images. 1. Introduction Pixelpiece3

How high-level semantic cues guide the diffusion process to differentiate between overlapping object boundaries.

Moving diffusion to the pixel space represents a significant leap in the fidelity of generated depth maps. This has direct implications for high-resolution 3D reconstruction and augmented reality applications where depth precision is paramount. Visual evidence of reduced noise and sharper depth

Traditional monocular depth models like Marigold often suffer from blurry edges and depth artifacts due to the lossy nature of VAEs.

We propose a framework that operates entirely within pixel space to maintain edge sharpness and spatial integrity. 2. Methodology: Pixel-Space Diffusion Quantitative and Qualitative Evaluation

Detailed analysis of how bypassing latent-space compression removes "flying pixels" at depth discontinuities. 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Evaluation
