Apple's SHARP Turns a Single Photo into a 3D Scene in Under a Second

Apple has released SHARP, a model that generates a 3D Gaussian representation of a scene from a single photograph in less than a second on a standard GPU. The output renders in real time as high-resolution photorealistic views of nearby camera positions, with metric absolute scale, and the paper reports reductions of 25–34% in LPIPS and 21–43% in DISTS versus the best prior model.
