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.

The paper introduces PhGS, a post‑hoc pruning and refinement pipeline for single‑view feed‑forward 3D Gaussian Splatting models. By keeping the base network frozen, it applies importance‑score‑based pruning followed by a lightweight recurrent refinement module to reduce spatial redundancy while restoring image quality. The method is backbone‑agnostic, integrates seamlessly with existing baselines, preserves novel‑view rendering fidelity, achieves significant memory reduction, and allows flexible inference‑time keep ratios.

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.

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 PhGS, a post‑hoc pruning and refinement pipeline for single‑view feed‑forward 3D Gaussian Splatting models. It keeps the base network frozen and applies importance‑score‑based pruning followed by a lightweight recurrent refinement module to reduce spatial redundancy while maintaining rendering quality. The method is backbone‑agnostic, integrates seamlessly with existing baselines, and allows flexible inference‑time keep ratios for different application needs.

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.

The paper introduces a structure‑aware merging pipeline that consolidates per‑pixel 3D Gaussian primitives from any feed‑forward reconstruction method into a compact, content‑adaptive Gaussian set. By grouping spatially coherent Gaussians with adaptive superpixel segmentation guided by a saliency map, compressing clusters via a learned encoder, and merging representations across views using geometric overlap and feature similarity, the method reduces the number of Gaussians to about one‑twentieth of the original while preserving visual quality. A level‑of‑detail decoder allows controllable resolution, and the pipeline operates as a backbone‑agnostic post‑processing module, improving robustness and rendering efficiency.
