-We present SHARP, an approach to photorealistic view synthesis from a single image. Given a single photograph, SHARP regresses the parameters of a 3D Gaussian representation of the depicted scene. This is done in less than a second on a standard GPU via a single feedforward pass through a neural network. The 3D Gaussian representation produced by SHARP can then be rendered in real time, yielding high-resolution photorealistic images for nearby views. The representation is metric, with absolute scale, supporting metric camera movements. Experimental results demonstrate that SHARP delivers robust zero-shot generalization across datasets. It sets a new state of the art on multiple datasets, reducing LPIPS by 25–34% and DISTS by 21–43% versus the best prior model, while lowering the synthesis time by three orders of magnitude.
-
-## Getting started
-
-Please, follow the steps in the [code repository](https://github.com/apple/ml-sharp) to set up your environment. Then you can download the checkpoint from the _Files and versions_ tab above, or use the `huggingface-hub` CLI:
-
-```bash
-pip install huggingface-hub
-huggingface-cli download --local-dir . apple/Sharp
-```
-
-
-To run prediction:
-
-```
-sharp predict -i /path/to/input/images -o /path/to/output/gaussians -c sharp_2572gikvuh.pt
-```
-
-The results will be 3D gaussian splats (3DGS) in the output folder. The 3DGS `.ply` files are compatible to various public 3DGS renderers. We follow the OpenCV coordinate convention (x right, y down, z forward). The 3DGS scene center is roughly at (0, 0, +z). When dealing with 3rdparty renderers, please scale and rotate to re-center the scene accordingly.
-
-### Rendering trajectories (CUDA GPU only)
-
-Additionally you can render videos with a camera trajectory. While the gaussians prediction works for all CPU, CUDA, and MPS, rendering videos via the `--render` option currently requires a CUDA GPU. The gsplat renderer takes a while to initialize at the first launch.
-
-```
-sharp predict -i /path/to/input/images -o /path/to/output/gaussians --render -c sharp_2572gikvuh.pt
-
-# Or from the intermediate gaussians:
-sharp render -i /path/to/output/gaussians -o /path/to/output/renderings  -c sharp_2572gikvuh.pt
-```
-
-
-## Evaluation
-
-Please refer to the paper for both quantitative and qualitative evaluations.
-Additionally, please check out this [qualitative examples page](https://apple.github.io/ml-sharp/) containing several video comparisons against related work.
