CompactSplat introduces a feedforward scene reconstruction method that adaptively allocates 3D Gaussian primitives based on texture-guided spatial partitioning and hierarchical sampling. By concentrating dense Gaussians in complex regions and using expanded primitives for flat areas, it reduces redundancy and better captures planar geometry. The framework also allows dynamic sparsity control during inference, enabling trade-offs between rendering quality and memory usage without retraining.

The paper introduces Iterative Gaussian Synopsis, a top‑down unfolding framework that generates compact, progressive levels of detail for 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS). Starting from a full‑resolution 3DGS model, it iteratively prunes Gaussian primitives using a learnable mask, building a multi‑level hierarchy that preserves visual quality while reducing storage. The method combines hierarchical spatial grids with a shared Anchor Codebook to capture global structure and local details, enabling efficient, level‑specific rendering with minimal data overhead.

ReSplat introduces a recurrent Gaussian splatting model that iteratively refines 3D Gaussians using the rendering error as a feedback signal, avoiding explicit gradient computation. The method starts from a compact reconstruction in a subsampled space, producing far fewer Gaussians than prior per‑pixel models, which reduces computational cost. Experiments on multiple datasets, view counts, and resolutions show state‑of‑the‑art performance with faster rendering speeds.

Anchor3DGS introduces a pose‑free, feed‑forward 3D Gaussian Splatting framework that replaces pixel‑aligned Gaussian prediction with a compact anchor‑based representation. By placing 3D anchors guided by information entropy, the method concentrates primitives in visually complex regions while ensuring broad spatial coverage, and each anchor aggregates multi‑view features to generate local Gaussians. A lightweight feature enhancement module refines the coarse RGB output, resulting in state‑of‑the‑art novel view synthesis quality with an order of magnitude fewer Gaussian primitives than prior approaches.

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.

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.
