VoxelTTO: Voxel-Aligned Feed-Forward 3D Gaussian Splatting with Test-Time Optimization

VoxelTTO is a feed‑forward framework that reconstructs 3D Gaussian splatting scenes from multiple images by aggregating dense image features into a global voxel representation and decoding Gaussians from voxel features, thereby eliminating the pixel‑to‑Gaussian correspondence. It incorporates test‑time optimization with lightweight LoRA modules to adapt to known camera parameters while keeping the pretrained visual foundation model frozen. The method replaces standard rasterization with stochastic solid volume rendering, improving geometric fidelity, and demonstrates superior RGB‑D novel‑view synthesis and camera‑pose estimation on Replica, Tanks and Temples, and DTU datasets.

GS-Net: Heterogeneous Vehicle Data Reuse via Generalizable Plug-and-Play 3DGS Module

GS‑Net is a lightweight plug‑and‑play module that expands sparse Structure‑from‑Motion point clouds into dense Gaussian primitives, enabling cross‑sensor view synthesis for autonomous driving. It learns a generalizable initialization for 3D Gaussian Splatting, improving rendering quality for both interpolated and extrapolated camera viewpoints. The authors introduce CARLA‑NVS, a benchmark with 12 uniformly spaced cameras, and show that GS‑Net outperforms standard 3DGS by 2.08 dB PSNR on interpolated views and 1.86 dB on extrapolated views while being 50× faster to initialize.

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.

InceptionGS: Generative Bootstrapping for Large-Scale Gaussian Splatting under Unstructured View Sampling

InceptionGS is a method that improves large‑scale Gaussian splatting for scenes captured with unstructured view sampling. It starts from an initial Gaussian splatting and selectively repairs areas affected by sparse views by integrating scene‑ and view‑adaptive generative priors, while keeping well‑covered regions unchanged. Experiments on real‑world scenes show that this hybrid reconstruction‑generation approach yields higher‑fidelity results than existing methods.
