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 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.

Gauss What You Need: Compact Gaussian Splatting Across Scene Scales introduces TangoGS, a method that automatically selects the number of Gaussian primitives for 3D Gaussian Splatting by combining capture-derived model sizing with training-based adaptation. The approach first estimates a learning allowance based on the capture’s total pixels, then adjusts the number of Gaussians during training according to reconstruction quality. On standard benchmarks, TangoGS matches the best baseline’s PSNR while using 48% fewer Gaussians, and on larger captures it scales automatically to achieve the highest mean PSNR with 2.3× more Gaussians.

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 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.

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.
