CoMVS‑GS is a surface‑reconstruction framework that fuses Multi‑View Stereo (MVS) with 3D Gaussian splatting. It initializes Gaussian primitives from dense MVS points, uses PatchMatch‑3DGS mutual supervision to refine depths and normals, and replaces voxel‑based meshing with a Delaunay graph‑cut pipeline. Experiments on DTU, GauU‑Scene V2, and MatrixCity demonstrate competitive object‑level results and improved geometric accuracy and mesh compactness in outdoor scenes while preserving high rendering quality.
arXiv:2608. 07579v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The AI City Challenge 2026 Track 1 evaluates multi-camera 3D perception in large indoor warehouses under a synthetic-to-real (Sim2Real) setting; depth is available only for training and validation, so inference is RGB-only.

Sparse-GS2Mesh is a stereo-aware framework that improves 3D surface reconstruction from sparse camera views by combining 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) with stereo matching techniques. The method begins by initializing 3DGS with epipolar depth priors to reduce overfitting, then applies adaptive baseline selection, stereo-matching‑guided fine‑tuning, and 2D/3D co‑regularization to refine the model. Experiments show a 15% performance gain over state‑of‑the‑art methods in low‑overlap scenarios and comparable results in high‑overlap settings.

Hi3D 3.0, also called Twinkle3D, is an image‑to‑3D generation system that produces watertight triangle meshes at a resolution of 2048³. It improves on previous methods by maintaining high representational precision while fixing surface quality and non‑watertight issues, scaling diffusion generation to 300K geometric tokens, strengthening global shape and local detail in a single stage, and adding a fine‑grained image‑3D cross‑modal interaction to better recover object‑specific structures such as inscriptions. The system outperforms four commercial competitors, recovering 82.1 % of inscribed characters with 98.2 % precision versus 21.7 % recall for the best rival.

MessyKitchens introduces a new dataset of cluttered real-world kitchen scenes with detailed 3D object shapes, poses, and accurate contact information. The authors extend the SAM 3D single-object reconstruction method with a Multi-Object Decoder (MOD) to jointly reconstruct entire scenes, achieving better registration accuracy and reduced inter-object penetration compared to prior work. The dataset, benchmark, code, and pretrained models will be publicly released on the project website.

GaussianDS introduces a depth‑supervised framework for 3D Gaussian Splatting that jointly optimizes RGB appearance, depth, and compact semantics from scratch. By arranging multi‑view images into a pose‑aware pseudo‑video and propagating view‑consistent masks via SAM2, the method aligns semantic lifting with geometric cues, using depth supervision and edge‑aware refinement to curb semantic drift and boundary leakage. The approach achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on LERF and 3D‑OVS benchmarks while preserving high‑fidelity reconstruction and enabling downstream tasks such as 3D object removal.
