PocketSplat: Mobile Gaussian Reconstruction via World-Space Latent Allocatio

PocketSplat is a feed‑forward framework that builds mobile Gaussian assets within a specified budget. It organizes dense, geometry‑aware latent candidates in world space, allocates integer capacity to local latent cells, and decodes Gaussian attributes only for retained candidates. The method uses cell‑conditioned latent fusion and spatial responsibility decoding to aggregate multi‑view evidence and adapt Gaussian support, achieving a strong quality–budget trade‑off on DL3DV and out‑of‑distribution benchmarks, and running directly on an iPhone faster than streamed MVSplat variants.

ResStreamGS: Residual-Sensitive Dual-Stream Gaussian Splatting for Mobile Volumetric Video Streaming

ResStreamGS introduces a residual‑sensitive dual‑stream framework for mobile volumetric video streaming that distinguishes temporally stable Gaussians from residual‑sensitive ones. Stable Gaussians are transmitted once per Group of Pictures, while only the residual‑sensitive Gaussians are included in the frame‑wise video stream, reducing bandwidth usage. Experiments on complex full‑scene videos show a 7.51–8.35 dB PSNR improvement over a V³‑style baseline, a payload reduction of up to 56.5%, and real‑time performance of 30.883 FPS on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G.

KISS-GS: 3D Gaussian Splatting Compression Kept Simple

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.

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.

CompactSplat: Spatially Adaptive Gaussian Distribution for Feedforward Scene Reconstruction

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: 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.

GenSplatCodec: Feed-Forward Gaussian Splatting Compression via One-Step Diffusion

Feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) enables scalable scene reconstruction without per-scene optimization, yet produces dense Gaussians that are costly to store and transmit. Existing feed-forward Gaussian compression methods formulate decoding as deterministic representation recovery, which becomes inadequate at low bitrates when high-frequency textures and view-dependent appearance are discarded.

LonGaussian: Tracking Foundation Priors for Long-Context Feedforward Gaussian Reconstruction

LonGaussian is a streaming feed‑forward framework that reconstructs compact, globally renderable Gaussian scenes from long image sequences with known intrinsics and unknown camera poses. It decodes long‑context geometric features into dense Gaussians, links repeated observations via multi‑frame point tracks, and consolidates predictions with a learned merger. Rendered‑depth consistency filtering removes incorrectly occluding Gaussians, leading to improved novel‑view rendering quality on DL3DV and RealEstate10K benchmarks while using fewer Gaussians than baseline methods.
