Reconstructing and simulating dynamic 3D scenes with both visual realism and physical consistency remains a fundamental challenge. Existing neural representations, such as NeRFs and 3DGS, excel in appearance reconstruction but struggle to capture complex material deformation and dynamics. We propose PhysConvex, a Physics-informed 3D Dynamic Convex Radiance Field that unifies visual rendering and physical simulation. PhysConvex represents deformable radiance fields using physically grounded convex primitives governed by continuum mechanics. We introduce a boundary-driven dynamic convex representation that models deformation through vertex and surface dynamics, capturing spatially adaptive, non-uniform deformation, and evolving boundaries. To efficiently simulate complex geometries and heterogeneous materials, we further develop a reduced-order convex simulation that advects dynamic convex fields using neural skinning eigenmodes as shape- and material-aware deformation bases with time-varying reduced DOFs under Newtonian dynamics. Convex dynamics also offers compact, gap-free volumetric coverage, enhancing both geometric efficiency and simulation fidelity. Experiments demonstrate that PhysConvex achieves high-fidelity reconstruction of geometry, appearance, and physical properties from videos, outperforming existing methods.

Image super-resolution (SR) aims to reconstruct high resolution images with both high perceptual quality and low distortion, but is fundamentally limited by the perception-distortion trade-off. GAN-based SR methods reduce distortion but still struggle with realistic fine-grained textures, whereas diffusion-based approaches synthesize rich details but often deviate from the input, hallucinating structures and degrading fidelity. This tension raises a key challenge: how to exploit the powerful generative priors of diffusion models without sacrificing fidelity. To address this, we propose SpaSemSR, a spatial-semantic guided diffusion framework with two complementary guidances. First, spatial-grounded textual guidance integrates object-level spatial cues with semantic prompts, aligning textual and visual structures to reduce distortion. Second, semantic-enhanced visual guidance with a multi-encoder design and semantic degradation constraints unifies multimodal semantic priors, improving perceptual realism under severe degradations. These complementary guidances are adaptively fused into the diffusion process via spatial-semantic attention, suppressing distortion and hallucination while retaining the strengths of diffusion models. Extensive experiments on multiple benchmarks show that SpaSemSR achieves a superior perception-distortion balance, producing both realistic and faithful restorations.
