View synthesis is a task of generating novel views of a scene/object from a given set of input views. It is a challenging and important problem in computer vision and graphics, with significant applications in virtual and augmented reality, 3D reconstruction, video editing, and more. Particularly, this competition is focused on two challenging conditions: (1) only one single reference view is available, and (2) a large view change is requested. We hope this competition can bring researchers together to explore and advance the state-of-the-art algorithms such as neural rendering and large generative models, producing high quality views at high efficiency.
