DeOcc-1-to-3: 3D De-Occlusion from a Single Image via Self-Supervised Multi-View Diffusion

Reconstructing 3D objects from a single image is a long-standing challenge, particularly under real-world occlusions. While recent diffusion-based view synthesis models can generate consistent novel views from a single RGB image, they generally assume fully visible inputs and struggle when parts of the object are occluded, leading to inconsistent views and degraded 3D reconstruction quality. To address this limitation, we propose DeOcc-1-to-3, an end-to-end framework for occlusion-aware multi-view generation. Our method directly synthesizes six structurally consistent novel views from a single partially occluded image, enabling downstream 3D reconstruction without requiring prior inpainting or manual annotations. We design a self-supervised training pipeline that leverages occluded–unoccluded image pairs and pseudo-ground-truth views to guide structure-aware completion and view consistency. Without modifying the original architecture, we fully fine-tune the diffusion model to jointly learn completion and multi-view generation. Additionally, we introduce the first benchmark for occlusion-aware reconstruction, covering diverse occlusion levels, object categories, and mask patterns, providing a standardized evaluation protocol.
