Floating Radiance Networks

Recent advances in neural scene representations enable photorealistic novel-view synthesis, yet most methods remain tightly coupled to a single rendering paradigm, limiting their versatility and integration with conventional graphics workflows. We introduce Floating Radiance Networks (FlaRe), a neural scene representation combining explicit ray-traceable geometry with continuous neural radiance functions.

WaterClear-GS: Optical-Aware Gaussian Splatting for Underwater Reconstruction and Restoration

WaterClear-GS introduces a physics-informed Gaussian splatting method tailored for underwater 3D reconstruction and appearance restoration. It models underwater degradation as intrinsic Gaussian attributes and employs a dual-branch optimization that separates clean appearance from degradation while preserving photometric consistency. The approach incorporates depth-guided geometry regularization, perception-driven supervision, exposure constraints, adaptive regularization, and spectral regularization, achieving strong novel view synthesis and image restoration performance at over 160 FPS.

Spackle: Completing Large View Single Image NVS with Adaptive Gaussians

Spackle is a lightweight residual learning framework designed to improve large-view single-image novel view synthesis (NVS) by mitigating capacity competition in hybrid decoupled systems that combine 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) and diffusion models. It operates in three stages: predicting base 3DGS attributes, automatically identifying poorly reconstructed regions, and learning a residual 3DGS focused on those areas. During inference, Spackle merges the baseline and augmented Gaussians to produce high-fidelity novel views, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance on large-view-deviation cases.

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.

GS-PI: An Optimization-Decoupled Appearance Decomposition Approach for Generating PBR Gaussian Assets

GS-PI introduces an optimization‑decoupled framework that transforms Gaussian Splatting (GS) assets into physically based rendering (PBR) compatible Gaussian assets. By treating PBR material generation as a geometry‑conditioned diffusion process on 3D point clouds, it achieves multi‑view consistency and avoids the pixel‑correspondence problems of 2D diffusion. The method employs a multi‑scale cross‑view conditioning mechanism—combining global semantic priors, photometric cues, and spatial view‑direction signals—to prevent specular highlights from baking into intrinsic colors, and then distills the predicted attributes back into a fully relightable PBR‑GS asset without requiring proxy meshes.

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.
