Diffusion priors have recently demonstrated strong capability in enhancing the quality of sparse-view 3D reconstruction by augmenting training views at novel viewpoints, but they inevitably introduce hallucinated content-- artifacts inconsistent with the input views -- into the final 3D model. To address this challenge, we propose Hallucination-Aware Diffusion prior (HAD), which estimates pixel-wise hallucination score maps for augmented images by leveraging multi-view reasoning capabilities from a feedforward novel view synthesis (NVS) network pre-trained on large-scale 3D data. These hallucination scores enable selective masking of unreliable pixels during the progressive 3D reconstruction procedure, preventing the introduction of non-existent artifacts into the 3D model. To further enhance performance, we create multiple versions of augmented images at each novel view by conditioning the diffusion prior on different input views, which are then fused into a final image that leverages the broader context across all input views. We show that our method substantially reduces hallucination artifacts in diffusion-assisted 3D reconstruction, thereby achieving state-of-the-art performance across multiple benchmarks on novel view synthesis.
