Fake3DGS: A Benchmark for 3D Manipulation Detection in Neural Rendering

Recent advances in 3D reconstruction and neural rendering,particularly 3D Gaussian Splatting, make it feasible and simple to edit 3D scenes and re-render them as highly realistic images. Therefore, security concerns arise regarding the authenticity of 3D content. Despite this threat, 3D fake detection remains largely unexplored in the literature, and most existing work is limited to 2D space. Therefore, in this paper, we formalize the concept of 3D fake detection and introduce Fake3DGS, a dataset of 3D Gaussian splatting scenes and corresponding rendered views, where fake images are produced by controlled manipulations of geometry, appearance, and spatial layout, while preserving high visual realism. Using this benchmark, we demonstrate that current state-of-the-art 2D detectors struggle to distinguish between original and 3D manipulated images. To bridge this gap, we introduce a 3D-aware detection method that leverages multi-view coherence and features derived from the Gaussian splatting representation. Experimental results demonstrate a substantial improvement in recognizing modified 3D content, underscoring the validity of the new dataset and the necessity for authenticity assessment techniques that extend beyond 2D evidence. Code and data are publicly released for future investigations.

SnapPose3D: Diffusion-Based Single-Frame 2D-to-3D Lifting of Human Poses

Depth ambiguity and joint uncertainty are the two main obstacles in obtaining accurate human pose predictions by 2D-to-3D lifting methods proposed in the literature. In particular, these issues are caused by 2D joint locations that can be mapped to multiple 3D positions, inducing multiple possible final poses. Following these considerations, we propose leveraging diffusion-based models generation capability to predict multiple hypotheses and aggregate them in a final accurate pose. Therefore, we introduce SnapPose3D, a pose-lifting framework trained deterministically to denoise 3D poses conditioned on both visual context and 2D pose features. SnapPose3D adopts a probabilistic approach during inference, generating multiple hypotheses through random sampling from a unit Gaussian distribution. Unlike most previous methods that address pose ambiguity by processing temporal sequences, SnapPose3D uses single frames as input, avoiding tracking and limiting computational cost, data acquisition complexity, and the need for online, real-time applications. We extensively evaluate SnapPose3D on well-known benchmarks for the 3D human pose estimation task showing its ability to generate and aggregate accurate hypotheses that lead to state-of-the-art results.

Semi-Perspective Decoupled Heatmaps for 3D Robot Pose Estimation from Depth Maps

Knowing the exact 3D location of workers and robots in a collaborative environment enables several real applications, such as the detection of unsafe situations or the study of mutual interactions for statistical and social purposes. In this paper, we propose a non-invasive and light-invariant framework based on depth devices and deep neural networks to estimate the 3D pose of robots from an external camera. The method can be applied to any robot without requiring hardware access to the internal states. We introduce a novel representation of the predicted pose, namely Semi-Perspective Decoupled Heatmaps (SPDH), to accurately compute 3D joint locations in world coordinates adapting efficient deep networks designed for the 2D Human Pose Estimation. The proposed approach, which takes as input a depth representation based on XYZ coordinates, can be trained on synthetic depth data and applied to real-world settings without the need for domain adaptation techniques. To this end, we present the SimBa dataset, based on both synthetic and real depth images, and use it for the experimental evaluation. Results show that the proposed approach, made of a specific depth map representation and the SPDH, overcomes the current state of the art.
