Quo Vadis, Driving Scene Reconstruction? Occlusion-Aware Gaussian Densification

Quo Vadis, Driving Scene Reconstruction? Occlusion-Aware Gaussian Densification introduces OccSplat, a feed-forward framework that addresses the limitation of single-observation 3D Gaussian Splatting methods in driving-scene reconstruction. OccSplat identifies occluded regions lacking Gaussian support via Gaussian Occlusion Mapping and then generates new Gaussian primitives for these areas through Gaussian Occlusion Completion. By integrating the predicted primitives into the original representation, OccSplat enhances novel-view synthesis without requiring per-scene optimization, achieving significant improvements on the nuScenes benchmark, especially in occluded regions.

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.

F4Splat: Feed-Forward Predictive Densification for Feed-Forward 3D Gaussian Splatting

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.

RoGe: Novel View Synthesis via End-to-End Implicit Reconstruction and Generation

RoGe is a new end‑to‑end framework for novel view synthesis that jointly learns an implicit 3D scene representation and a video diffusion model. It eliminates the need for explicit 3D intermediates by querying the implicit scene with camera rays to produce geometric features that condition the diffusion model. Experiments on DL3DV show that RoGe surpasses reconstruction‑based, generation‑based, and hybrid baselines in image quality and temporal consistency, and ablations confirm the benefits of ray‑queried features and joint training.
