+# InteriorFusion: Research Report & Literature Review
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+After analyzing 50+ papers, 20+ repositories, and 15+ datasets, we identified that **no existing open-source system solves single-image-to-3D-interior at production quality**. All current SOTA models are object-centric. InteriorFusion bridges this gap through a scene-aware hybrid architecture.

+
+## Why Current Models Fail for Interiors
+
+### 1. Inconsistent Room Geometry
+**Root cause**: No room topology prior. Object models generate in unit cube; rooms need planar walls with right angles.
+**Fix in InteriorFusion**: Explicit room layout estimation (SpatialLM) constrains wall/floor/ceiling to Manhattan-world planes.
+
+### 2. Furniture Floating
+**Root cause**: No gravity/physics prior. Objects generated independently with no floor contact constraint.
+**Fix**: Collision detection + physics relaxation in scene assembly phase. Floor plane from depth estimation anchors all objects.
+
+### 3. Inaccurate Scaling
+**Root cause**: Object-centric models normalize to unit cube. A chair and a sofa both fit in [−1,1]³.
+**Fix**: Metric depth estimation (Depth Anything V2 metric indoor) provides real-world scale in meters. Furniture dimensions matched against a prior database.
+
+### 4. Wall/Floor Topology Issues
+**Root cause**: No distinction between room shell and furniture. Models try to generate everything as one mesh.
+**Fix**: Separate room shell generation (planar meshes) from per-object generation. Room shell voxels flagged separately in SLAT-Interior.
+
+### 5. Poor Spatial Relationships
+**Root cause**: Independent object generation. No knowledge that "lamp goes on table" or "sofa faces TV".
+**Fix**: Scene graph generation + learned layout prior from 3D-FRONT. Spatial relations encoded as edge features in scene graph.
+
+### 6. Weak Depth Consistency
+**Root cause**: Single-view depth estimators produce inconsistent depth across object boundaries.
+**Fix**: Multi-view depth fusion + cross-view depth-normal consistency loss. Depth-conditioned generation at every stage.
+
+### 7. Multi-Object Scene Collapse
+**Root cause**: When multiple objects appear in one image, models merge them into a single blob.
+**Fix**: Semantic segmentation → per-object isolation → independent generation → scene assembly.
+
+### 8. Texture Bleeding
+**Root cause**: Multi-view texture projection without occlusion handling. Wall texture bleeds onto furniture.
+**Fix**: Visibility-aware texture baking with depth-buffer occlusion testing. Per-object UV atlases.
+
+### 9. Incomplete Room Reconstruction
+**Root cause**: Occluded regions (behind sofa, under table) are hallucinated incorrectly.
+**Fix**: Inpainting diffusion for occluded regions, conditioned on detected room layout. Ceiling/floor inpainting from detected planes.
+
+### 10. Inability to Edit Generated Rooms
+**Root cause**: Single output mesh. Can't move sofa without regenerating everything.
+**Fix**: Scene graph representation. Each object is a separate node. Objects generated independently, assembled via scene graph. Move sofa = update scene graph node position.
+
+### 11. Lack of Semantic Room Understanding
+**Root cause**: No training on room types. Model doesn't know "kitchen needs stove, bedroom needs bed".
+**Fix**: Room type classifier trained on 3D-FRONT room labels. Style-conditioned generation (modern, scandinavian, luxury, indian, commercial).

+
+## Bottleneck Analysis
+
+| Bottleneck | Impact | Solution in InteriorFusion |
+|-----------|--------|---------------------------|
+| **Latent representation** | Object-only latents can't encode rooms | SLAT-Interior: sparse voxels with room-shell vs object flags |
+| **Scene encoding** | No scene-level conditioning | Multi-encoder: image + depth + layout + semantic tokens |
+| **Geometry priors** | No Manhattan world / planar constraints | Room shell generation enforces planar walls/floor/ceiling |
+| **Rendering pipeline** | Object-only rendering (sphere cameras) | Indoor camera distribution (room-centered, limited elevation) |
+| **Training datasets** | Only object datasets (Objaverse) | 3D-FRONT + Structured3D + InteriorNet + ScanNet |
+| **Sparse-view reconstruction** | 150 views per object; rooms need more | Seed-guided 2D Gaussian splatting for room-scale |
+| **Scene graph modeling** | No relationship modeling | SpatialLM scene scripts + learned layout prior |
