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.

Scaling 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) to large outdoor scenes is costly in both data acquisition and computation. Adopting panoramic images with equirectangular projection (ERP) can reduce capture effort via their full $360^{\circ}$ field of view, yet the resulting omnipresent visibility invalidates existing partitioning strategies that rely on local camera frustums, causing block-wise optimization to degenerate into global training.

Streaming 3D reconstruction relies on a compact recurrent scene state to process long image streams in linear time and bounded memory. However, repeated updates can gradually corrupt this state, causing reliable historical information to be overwritten by noisy or ambiguous observations.
Feed-forward models for 3D reconstruction have achieved strong performance using deep cross-view attention to exchange information across images. However, these approaches often depend on heavy decoder stacks and lack a structured mechanism for geometry refinement, resulting in poor multi-view consistency.
3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has emerged as an effective representation for novel view synthesis and 3D scene reconstruction, creating an increasing demand for reliable quality assessment. Unlike conventional image quality assessment (IQA), the quality of a 3DGS scene depends not only on the perceptual fidelity of rendered views, but also on scene-level factors such as spatial structure and cross-view consistency.
