To extend MVLLaVA's capabilities for handling more diverse input modalities like 3D point clouds or videos, several strategies can be employed. First, integrating a 3D point cloud processing module would allow MVLLaVA to directly interpret and synthesize views from 3D data. This could involve leveraging existing neural networks designed for point cloud processing, such as PointNet or PointCNN, to extract meaningful features from the point clouds before passing them to the multi-view diffusion models.
For video inputs, MVLLaVA could incorporate temporal analysis capabilities, enabling it to understand motion and changes over time. This could be achieved by integrating recurrent neural networks (RNNs) or transformers that can process sequences of frames, allowing the model to generate novel views that account for dynamic changes in the scene. Additionally, the instruction templates could be adapted to include temporal cues, guiding the model to generate views that reflect the motion captured in the video.
Moreover, the architecture could be enhanced to support multi-modal inputs, where both 3D point clouds and video frames are processed simultaneously. This would require a more sophisticated fusion mechanism that can effectively combine information from different modalities, ensuring that the generated views are coherent and contextually relevant. By expanding the input modalities in this way, MVLLaVA could significantly enhance its versatility and applicability in various fields, such as virtual reality, gaming, and robotics.
