## Abstract (arXiv)

Recent developments in multi-view image editing with generative models have brought us a step closer toward general 3D content generation and customization. Most existing works focus on rigid or appearance-only edits by utilizing the geometry of the unedited scene. This naturally limits these methods to edits that preserve the underlying scene structure. Current nonrigid approaches are limited to object removal and insertion, reflecting the data they are trained on. General nonrigid edits, i.e., edits that substantially and arbitrarily change the scene geometry, remain challenging for existing methods. We propose GeM-NR, a fast and flexible training-free approach for general multi-view consistent image editing, including edits that drastically change the geometry and appearance of the scene. Given an anchor image edited with a chosen 2D editor and a query unedited image, GeM-NR edits the query image consistently with the anchor edit. The method incorporates multiple stages: (i) depth map estimation, where we propose a strategy to maximize the alignment between the 3D point clouds of the edited and unedited scenes, (ii) projection onto a query viewpoint, and (iii) refinement of the obtained image conditioned on the unedited query. We demonstrate the ability of our method to handle edits with significant changes in geometry and appearance, something that existing methods struggle with. We perform an extensive evaluation showing that GeM-NR improves consistency for a wide variety of edit tasks, including generating 3D representations of the edited scene. Both quantitative and qualitative results indicate the state-of-the-art performance of our method in terms of edit quality as well as geometric and photometric consistency across multiple views.
