arXiv:2606. 05399v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing feed-forward networks excel at predicting a single set of physical properties from visual appearance, but this point-estimate paradigm fundamentally fails to capture the real world's inherent physical ambiguity. We address this by reframing physics prediction as a task of learning a controllable, continuous distribution of material properties.
We introduce UNIPIXIE, a framework trained to predict a continuous and parameterized path of physically plausible material properties from a single visual input. …
