## Abstract (arXiv)

Recent generative image-editing Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) demonstrate impressive semantic editing capabilities but still struggle with spatially consistent camera angle changes. A primary bottleneck in training foundation models to execute free-form, promptable camera angle changes is the lack of specialized training data. While multi-view datasets exist for generic 3D environments and objects, there remains an absence of paired, multi-view datasets featuring human subjects at fixed locations in natural scenes, including frontal and side-profile views. Capturing such multi-camera data in unconstrained environments is logistically challenging and unscalable. In this paper, we first experiment with multiple state-of-the-art image editing models to create this data synthetically, but find that the outputs are frequently prone to hallucinations involving how much the subject's head turns relative to the background, often producing inconsistent environments. To address this issue, we propose the Head Scene Rotation Difference (HSRD) metric to quantitatively evaluate camera movements around a person. The proposed metric operates by decoupling camera movement from localized head pose manipulation. As demonstrated by the extensive experimentation, HSRD provides the pipeline necessary to evaluate 3D spatial parallax for a person in a scene, paving the way to reliably construct high-quality multi-view synthetic datasets.
