Geometric-Photometric Event-based 3D Gaussian Ray Tracing

The paper introduces GPERT, a framework that separates event-based 3D Gaussian Splatting into two rendering branches: event-by-event geometry rendering and snapshot-based radiance rendering. By employing ray-tracing and warped event images, GPERT balances accuracy and temporal resolution, achieving state‑of‑the‑art results on real‑world datasets and competitive performance on synthetic data. The method operates without pretrained models or COLMAP initialization, offers flexible event selection, and produces sharp reconstructions of scene edges with rapid training.

PIVOT: A Multi-Trajectory Dataset and Testbed for Pose, Intrinsics, and Novel Viewpoint Evaluation in Real-World 3D Reconstruction

PIVOT is a new multi‑trajectory dataset and evaluation framework that captures real‑world scenes with diverse camera paths, preserving both sensor‑derived measured poses and COLMAP‑optimized poses along with calibrated and optimized intrinsics. It defines three benchmark families—seen vs. unseen trajectory generalization, measured vs. optimized pose sensitivity, and calibrated vs. optimized intrinsics sensitivity—and introduces a directed pose‑space Chamfer distance to assess pose coverage. The first version of PIVOT includes five scenes recorded with a DJI Mini 4 Pro and offers an open processing and Nerfstudio‑based evaluation toolchain, revealing a consistent quality gap between held‑out and unseen trajectories and significant sensitivity to pose source and camera intrinsics.

CasDeblurGS: Cascaded 2D-to-3D Multi-View Consistency for 3D Gaussian Splatting from Two Blurry Images

Free-viewpoint 3D scene media is increasingly important for immersive applications, yet practical capture often suffers from severe view sparsity and motion blur. Although neural rendering has advanced sparse-view synthesis, existing blur-aware methods typically require substantial multi-view redundancy, accurate camera poses, or costly per-scene optimization.

GS-Net: Heterogeneous Vehicle Data Reuse via Generalizable Plug-and-Play 3DGS Module

GS‑Net is a lightweight plug‑and‑play module that expands sparse Structure‑from‑Motion point clouds into dense Gaussian primitives, enabling cross‑sensor view synthesis for autonomous driving. It learns a generalizable initialization for 3D Gaussian Splatting, improving rendering quality for both interpolated and extrapolated camera viewpoints. The authors introduce CARLA‑NVS, a benchmark with 12 uniformly spaced cameras, and show that GS‑Net outperforms standard 3DGS by 2.08 dB PSNR on interpolated views and 1.86 dB on extrapolated views while being 50× faster to initialize.

Cooking beyond Frames: A Stereo Event Camera Dataset in the Kitchen

Event cameras, also known as neuromorphic cameras, have gained significant attention in recent years due to their high temporal resolution, high dynamic range, and low power consumption. While many studies and datasets in neuromorphic vision have focused on automotive and drone applications, human-centric daily-life scenarios remain largely underrepresented, despite their importance for developing and benchmarking event-based perception systems.

FF-ProCams: Feed-Forward Gaussian Splatting for Projector-Camera System

Projector-camera (ProCams) systems achieve active scene perception and controllable appearance manipulation via structured illumination, serving as a core infrastructure for spatial augmented reality, projection mapping, and surface reflectance acquisition. Existing inverse-rendering methods for ProCams deliver high-fidelity results but rely on time-consuming per-scene optimization, while mainstream feed-forward 3D reconstruction models produce baked appearance that cannot adapt to spatially varying projector illumination.
