SwiftVR: Real-Time One-Step Generative Video Restoration

Real-time video restoration (VR) for live streams requires high-resolution outputs under strict per-frame latency constraints. Existing one-step diffusion-based VR models remain difficult to deploy on consumer-grade GPUs due to two main bottlenecks: quadratic spatial attention at high resolutions and the latency-memory overhead of large video autoencoders.

Budgeted-GS: Real-Time Large-Scale Gaussian Splatting via Factoring LOD

Budgeted-GS is a post‑hoc technique that transforms any trained 3D Gaussian Splatting model into a factoring tree—a multi‑resolution hierarchy of moment‑matched aggregates. After a brief construction pass, a single quality parameter selects the appropriate level of detail for each view, allowing the same city‑scale model to run in real time on GPUs with varying memory capacities. The method also informs budget‑centered training, enabling models to be built directly at the necessary size and avoiding wasted optimization of later discarded primitives.

StreamSplat: Streaming Feed-Forward 3D Gaussian Splatting

Feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting enables efficient novel-view synthesis without per-scene optimization, but most existing methods assume a fixed set of context views and process them jointly. This limits their applicability to online scenarios where calibrated views arrive sequentially and the scene must be updated causally.

KISS-GS: 3D Gaussian Splatting Compression Kept Simple

KISS-GS is a modular compression pipeline for 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) scenes that separates compression from training. It first compacts a vanilla 3DGS scene by 15.7× using state‑of‑the‑art pruning, then encodes the result into the SOG‑XT image‑based format, achieving an additional 6.6× reduction. Optional encoding‑aware fine‑tuning can further cut the size by 2.2×, yielding total reductions of 85× to 319× on standard benchmarks while enabling web‑native decoding.

Stream4D: 4D-Consistency for Streaming Autoregressive Diffusion Video Models

arXiv:2608. 19556v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Streaming autoregressive diffusion models enable real-time, long-horizon video generation, but their training objectives optimize local frame prediction rather than the geometry and dynamics of a coherent world: long rollouts accumulate geometric drift and degrade into static or unnatural motion.

ReCoSplat: Online Feed-Forward Gaussian Splatting via Render-and-Compare

ReCoSplat is an online feed‑forward Gaussian splatting model that can synthesize novel views from a stream of observations, handling both posed and unposed inputs and optionally using camera intrinsics. It introduces a Render‑and‑Compare module that renders the current scene from the viewpoint of the incoming observation and compares it to the observation, providing a stable conditioning signal to mitigate the mismatch caused by predicted camera poses. A hybrid KV‑cache compression strategy further reduces memory usage, enabling the model to process long sequences efficiently while achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance on online view synthesis tasks.
