CamCo: Transforming Image-to-Video Generation with 3D
Consistency
Introduction
Video diffusion models have introduced another paradigm to video
content creation within this highly dynamic and evolving landscape of AI.
They have developed quality video sequences that allow users to
enhance their creative skills with precision and control. The only
downside of such models is the almost nonexistent control of camera
poses, which holds back the entire cinematic language in coming forth to
access the whole expression of user intent.
Enter CamCo, an innovation at a critical moment in AI video generation.
It offers complete control over camera movement down to the grain in a
way that makes sure synthesized videos come out in complete 3D
consistency. CamCo has been developed under the collaboration of the
University of Texas at Austin and NVIDIA. The primary driving idea
behind this innovation has been to give the creator deeper, more artistic

control over camera pose during the image-to-video process, allowing
for greater expressiveness and immersion in video content.
What is CamCo?
CamCo stands for Camera-Controllable 3D-Consistent Image-to-Video
Generation and is a state-of-the-art framework for extremely high-quality
video generation. However, the most significant power of CamCo is in
allowing users to precisely control camera poses and maintain 3D
consistency in the generated video. It enables a user to create more
immersive and realistic videos.

Key Features of CamCo
CamCo features some of the unique things that make it perform so
powerfully:

● Fine-grained Camera Pose Control: By making use of Plücker
coordinates, which are a mathematical tool used in representing
lines in 3-dimensional space, CamCo places in the user's hands
total freedom in placing the camera within their spaces, providing
control that has never been possible regarding the movement of
the camera in their rendered videos.
● Epipolar Attention Module: This novel design enforces the
epipolar constraints, which are the fundamental principles of stereo
vision, to render the 3D consistency in the outputted video. This
makes the videos attractive and close to the truth of the laws of
perspective and geometry.
● Real-world Video Fine-tuning: CamCo can be fine-tuned on
real-world videos. For example, this would mean the model would
be able to learn and adjust according to the features of real-world
footage. This lets the model synthesize objects' motion more
realistically in the videos generated.
Capabilities and Use Case of CamCo
CamCo's capabilities are as versatile as impressive. Some of the areas
where this model can find use can be:
● Indoor and Outdoor Videos: Whether you want to create a warm
and cozy video for indoor purposes or perhaps an open and vast
landscape for an outdoor video, CamCo will serve the purpose.
With huge potential for many diverse settings, indeed, Camco is
one flexible instrument for the generation of video.
● Human-Centric Videos: Generate human-centric videos out of
CamCo to showcase a person, animate an illustration, or even
provide a natural human touch to your presentation.

● Text to Image Generated Videos: Turn words into images using
the CamCo tool. This feature is going to revolutionize content
creation and storytelling.
How does CamCo work? / Architecture/Design
CamCo is a complicated architecture based on a pre-trained
image-to-video diffusion model. A critical feature of its unique
architecture and design lies in its implementation with Plücker
coordinates and Epipolar Constraint Attention (ECA) modules. CamCo is
based on Plücker coordinates, which enable pixel-wise embedding. In
this respect, CamCo enables a much finer-grained control of camera
motions than previous methods. To do this, CamCo plugs these in to
render the camera pose as dense conditioning signals that guide
generating each video frame to satisfy the camera viewpoints at the
corresponding time samples.
At the heart of CamCo is the ECA module for enforcing geometric
consistency across video frames, accounting for the inconsistency that
necessarily pervades traditional video diffusion models due to their lack
of modeling capability for geometric relationships. At its run-time, the
ECA module applies the epipolar constraints when it applies
cross-attention to the features in the epipolar lines and the target
locations. This will, in turn, bring better 3D consistency to the video.
Furthermore, the data curation pipeline of CamCo enhances its
capability in creating a video with dynamic object motion, which in turn
will annotate real-world video frames with estimated camera pose using
the Particle-SfM algorithm.

Above figure represents an overview of the graphical framework for
CamCo. It captures an outline of the overall architecture and shows that
camera parameterization is Plücker coordinate-based. In addition, the
integration of the ECA blocks to enforce strictly geometric constraints is
shown. The model maintains the same input/output format but
introduces a set of fine-grained, conditioning camera parameters. It also
shows how information is extracted from corresponding epipolar lines of
the source frames so that a pixel in the synthesized frame is bound by
the same geometric constraints the input image was subjected to.
How can this model be accessed and used?
Information on a detailed version of the model is found on the page of
the project, more specifically, the research paper and research
document. Although the submitted sources do not provide the
information that the model is open-source, along with the licensing
structure, it is still preferable to go through the project page, which will be
more updated in terms of accuracy.

Performance Evaluation Compared with Other Models
source - https://arxiv.org/pdf/2406.02509
CamCo outperforms existing methods to generate 3D consistent videos
with an accurate camera. Table above presents our method's
performance comparison to the baselines in the task of static video
generation. CamCo attains an FID of 14.66 and an FVD score of 138.01;
both results are dramatically lower than their peers, showing better
visual quality and temporal consistency. Moreover, the error rate in
COLMAP for CamCo is an outstandingly low 3.8%, and the maximum
number of matching points equals 461.07, proving great geometric
consistency and the correct estimation of camera poses for this method.
This proves that CamCo has a robust architecture in integrating Plücker
coordinates and epipolar constraint attention modules; thus, it can
control the camera to finer degrees, hence producing better consistency
in 3D in the generated videos.

The dynamic video generation benchmark results reveal that the
performance of the CamCo models is better than most other models, as
tabulated in table above. Camco models give an overall good FID of
22.19 and FVD of 137.59 compared with the performance of stable video
diffusion and MotionCtrl. Such metrics underline the capability to handle
complex camera movements and dynamic scenes stably. Epipolar

constraints and an effective learning-based real-world video curation
pipeline enable CamCo to achieve realistic object motion videos with
more precisely estimated camera trajectories. This performance is
critical to applications such as filmmaking, augmented reality, and game
development in which good-looking, geometrically consistent video
content is to be achieved.
Limitations and Future Work
While these are already impressive results, some caveats are noticed for
the new method and a few future works on the development of this
model. It currently cannot make complex changes to the camera
intrinsic, for example, dolly-zoom-type effects, among others. It cannot
do that because the camera intrinsics are based on the frames of a
video from the training data, and therefore, whatever camera intrinsic an
input image has will be similar to the generated image. That offers the
pathway to further model improvements and perhaps augmentation with
more advanced and dynamic video generation abilities.
Conclusion
CamCo is a significant development in video diffusion models and,
therefore, requires excellent control of the camera pose used to
generate images into video. This is absolutely chock full of promise for
further developments in this field.
