F4Splat: Feed-Forward Predictive Densification for Feed-Forward 3D Gaussian Splatting

F4Splat introduces a feed‑forward predictive densification strategy for 3D Gaussian splatting that allocates Gaussians based on a densification‑score guided by spatial complexity and multi‑view overlap. The method predicts per‑region scores to estimate required Gaussian density, enabling explicit control over the total Gaussian budget without retraining. This adaptive allocation reduces redundancy in simple regions and minimizes duplicate Gaussians across overlapping views, yielding compact yet high‑quality 3D representations and superior novel‑view synthesis performance with fewer Gaussians.

Unfolding 3D Gaussian Splatting via Iterative Gaussian Synopsis

The paper introduces Iterative Gaussian Synopsis, a top‑down unfolding framework that generates compact, progressive levels of detail for 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS). Starting from a full‑resolution 3DGS model, it iteratively prunes Gaussian primitives using a learnable mask, building a multi‑level hierarchy that preserves visual quality while reducing storage. The method combines hierarchical spatial grids with a shared Anchor Codebook to capture global structure and local details, enabling efficient, level‑specific rendering with minimal data overhead.

ACD-GS: Asymmetric Curvature-aware Densification for 3D Gaussian Splatting

ACD-GS introduces an Asymmetric Curvature-aware Densification framework for 3D Gaussian Splatting that uses second-order depth responses to guide cloning and splitting, thereby better capturing geometric discontinuities. It incorporates a multi-view photometric consistency constraint and a capacity-aware adaptive regulation strategy to balance densification and pruning during training. The approach reduces Gaussian count and storage by nearly 60% while maintaining competitive rendering fidelity, outperforming existing methods across multiple datasets.

TruncGradGS: Improved 3D Gaussian Splatting via Truncated Gradient Updates

The paper introduces TruncGradGS, a piecewise truncated gradient approach that mitigates gradient vanishing in 3D Gaussian Splatting, enhancing optimization stability and robustness to initializations. It demonstrates consistent improvements over random and COLMAP initializations in both static and dynamic settings. Additionally, the authors highlight limitations of existing dynamic scene benchmarks and present a new synthetic dataset for evaluating dynamic Gaussian Splatting.

2D GauSS-MI: Efficient Active Scene Reconstruction with Balanced Visual and Geometric Quality

The paper introduces 2D GauSS-MI, an active scene reconstruction framework that uses 2D Gaussian Splatting (2DGS) to efficiently process incremental RGB‑D data. It presents an online 2DGS mapping pipeline and a probabilistic reliability model to assess view‑dependent reconstruction quality. Leveraging this model, the authors define a Shannon Mutual Information metric that guides active view selection, balancing visual and geometric quality while reducing computational cost and storage compared to state‑of‑the‑art baselines.

CompactSplat: Spatially Adaptive Gaussian Distribution for Feedforward Scene Reconstruction

CompactSplat introduces a feedforward scene reconstruction method that adaptively allocates 3D Gaussian primitives based on texture-guided spatial partitioning and hierarchical sampling. By concentrating dense Gaussians in complex regions and using expanded primitives for flat areas, it reduces redundancy and better captures planar geometry. The framework also allows dynamic sparsity control during inference, enabling trade-offs between rendering quality and memory usage without retraining.

Constrained Dynamic Gaussian Splatting

Constrained Dynamic Gaussian Splatting (CDGS) addresses the memory challenges of Dynamic Gaussian Splatting by framing reconstruction as a budget‑constrained optimization problem. It introduces a differentiable budget controller that fuses geometric, motion, and perceptual cues to enforce a strict, user‑defined Gaussian budget during training. CDGS further splits the representation into static and dynamic branches, allocates capacity based on motion complexity, and employs a three‑phase training strategy and hybrid compression to achieve high‑quality rendering with over 3× model compression compared to Ex4DGS.
