Our room layout estimation method PolyLayout predicts the layout of multiple rooms simultaneously from posed images. By sharing the orientation and floor/ceiling height it can achieve higher accuracy than comparable single room methods.

Abstract

Estimating room layouts from multi-view imagery is a core task for indoor scene understanding. Existing methods are typically limited either by poor generalization to new datasets or restrictive geometric assumptions of the room shape or camera configuration. Most also estimate rooms independently, failing to exploit shared building structure such as dominant directions, ground plane or ceiling height.

We propose PolyLayout, a multi-room layout estimation method that parameterizes room layouts as Manhattan 3D polygons and optimizes them jointly across multiple rooms. The optimization objective is predicted by a neural network on top of robust pre-trained visual features and trained end-to-end with supervision only on output room layouts. At the same time, camera projection and polygon updates remain explicit and model-based. This separation between learned scoring and geometry improves generalization to new datasets and camera parameters. During optimization, PolyLayout adaptively refines the polygon topology through iterative wall split and merge operations while jointly utilizing structural cues across rooms. We introduce two new multi-view multi-room layout benchmarks by providing layout annotations to existing datasets, and experiments show that PolyLayout outperforms prior approaches, both in terms of accuracy and robustness.

Results

We compare our predicted room layouts with those of SceneScript, Plane-DUSt3R and PixCuboid. The results are shown above for one scene in Aria Synthetic Environments. Predictions are visualized in green and the ground truth layouts in blue.
