3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has recently enabled real-time novel view synthesis with impressive quality. However, it struggles to recover accurate surfaces under limited viewpoints and due to the inherent irregularity of Gaussian primitives.
arXiv:2607. 05522v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 3D Gaussian splatting (3DGS) is a strong representation for real-time novel-view synthesis, but its standard training pipeline relies on point estimates and hand-tuned heuristics, providing no native uncertainty or principled complexity control.

arXiv:2606. 31637v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Intrinsic decomposition which expresses image colors as the product of diffuse albedo and shading, possibly augmented with view-dependent residuals has a long history in image editing as it enables the modification of object colors and textures without altering lighting.

3D Gaussian Splatting enables efficient novel view synthesis, but accurate mesh reconstruction remains difficult in weakly observed and occluded regions, where Gaussian primitives may grow into unstable or geometrically inconsistent structures. We propose CoMVS-GS, a general surface reconstruction framework that combines Multi-View Stereo with Gaussian splatting.
Time-varying implicit neural representations (INRs) provide a compact representation of scientific volumes and, for modalities such as dynamic X-ray computed tomography (CT), are often the only practical way to represent the data. However, interactive volume rendering of INRs is challenging, as cheap memory lookups are replaced by expensive neural inferences, hindering the performance.
arXiv:2606. 02552v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite advances in depth estimation, flying points remain a persistent failure mode: near object boundaries, depth estimators often predict spurious 3D points in the empty space between foreground and background surfaces.

arXiv:2606. 02068v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recently, novel view synthesis has witnessed remarkable progress, with mainstream methods such as Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) and 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) delivering impressive results.

Geometry is invariant to viewpoint, which makes any collection of images a redundant encoding of a single 3D state. Existing feed-forward reconstruction models fail to exploit this: per-view methods emit overlapping, unaligned pointmaps that grow linearly with input count, while global-latent methods commit to a fixed, low-resolution output.
Recent advances in 3D Gaussian Splatting have demonstrated unprecedented success in novel view synthesis. However, the substantial inference and storage overhead driven by high-order Spherical Harmonics (SH) are primary bottlenecks for mobile platforms.
arXiv:2603. 07664v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The reflective appearance, especially strong and typically near-field specular reflections, poses a fundamental challenge for accurate surface reconstruction and novel view synthesis.
