## Abstract (arXiv)

Synthesizing multi-pass videos is important for autonomous driving. While current repair-based methods often struggle with out-of-distribution artifacts, camera-controlled methods often produce 3D-inconsistent results due to sparse LiDAR cues. We propose ReCamDriving, a purely vision-based framework that achieves camera-controlled generation by leveraging dense, structurally complete 3DGS renderings as geometric guidance. Specifically, to prevent the model from overfitting to a trivial repair solution when conditioning on 3DGS renderings, we adopt a two-stage progressive training paradigm: the first stage uses camera poses for coarse control, while the second stage incorporates 3DGS renderings for fine-grained viewpoint and geometric guidance. Furthermore, to align training and inference camera transformation patterns, we propose a 3DGS-based cross-trajectory data curation strategy, enabling consistent lateral-trajectory supervision from single-pass videos. Based on this strategy, we construct the ParaDrive dataset, containing approximately 110K parallel-trajectory video pairs. Extensive experiments demonstrate that ReCamDriving achieves state-of-the-art camera controllability and structural consistency.
