Per-View Gaussian Predictions Enable Training-Free Distractor Filtering in Feed-Forward 3DGS

The paper presents a training‑free filtering method for feed‑forward 3D Gaussian Splatting that removes transient distractors from 3D reconstructions. By excluding each input’s per‑view Gaussians and re‑rendering the scene, the method identifies inconsistent content through feature similarity and reconstruction error reduction. The approach improves novel‑view quality across multiple models and benchmarks while preserving clean scenes.

3DGS-HPC: Distractor-free 3D Gaussian Splatting with Hybrid Patch-wise Classification

3DGS-HPC is a framework that improves 3D Gaussian Splatting for novel view synthesis by mitigating transient distractors such as moving objects and varying shadows. It combines a patch‑wise classification strategy that uses local spatial consistency for robust region‑level decisions with a hybrid classification metric that adaptively integrates photometric and perceptual cues. Experiments show that this approach outperforms existing methods in reducing distractor effects and enhancing 3DGS quality.

PointGauss: Point Cloud-Guided Multi-Object Segmentation for Gaussian Splatting

PointGauss is a 3D-native framework that performs semantic parsing and instance segmentation on 3D Gaussian splatting representations by treating Gaussian primitives as unstructured point sets and extracting scale‑invariant geometric features with Point Transformer V3. It introduces an adaptive region‑of‑interest cropping strategy and an instance‑aware distance‑constrained rasterization pipeline to enable scalable, view‑consistent pixel‑level projections. The authors also release SplatSeg‑360, a cross‑scale benchmark with 32 complex scenes and over 6,300 aligned 2D‑3D masks, and show that PointGauss achieves real‑time performance with state‑of‑the‑art 3D‑mIoU (~90%) and 2D‑mIoU (~80%) scores.

Rethinking 3D Noise: Learning 3D-Aware Video Priors via Optimization-Free Morphological Perturbations

The paper introduces 3D Morphological Perturbations, an optimization‑free regularizer for 3D representations such as NeRF and 3D Gaussian Splatting. By treating each Gaussian as a pixel‑like element, the method applies scale, rotation, and pruning perturbations to preserve spatial consistency across views, eliminating the need for per‑scene optimization during dataset curation. Experiments on a lightweight video diffusion sandbox and a 14B‑parameter video model show that the approach improves geometric priors, reduces mean depth error by 12.5% over state‑of‑the‑art 3D artifact refiners, and boosts downstream robotics policy success rates by up to 8.0% on three manipulation tasks.
