Researchers at New York University's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences are developing a new generative AI technique that transforms 2-D images into 3-D models. Professors Saining Xie and Daniele Panozzo from the Department of Computer Science have created a prototype technology that manipulates geometry using generative AI. This allows users to view an image from multiple angles, including its sides, top, and bottom, and move it around based on preferences.

Xie and Panozzo's work enables more accurate placement of objects within images by converting them into three dimensions. For example, adding a picture of cherries to the top of a cake image becomes more precise when both elements are rendered in 3-D.

The researchers' progress was reported earlier this year.
