Gauss What You Need: Compact Gaussian Splatting Across Scene Scales

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.

PhGS: Post-Hoc Pruning and Refinement of Single-View Feed-Forward 3D Gaussian Reconstructions

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.

ReSplat: Learning Recurrent Gaussian Splatting

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.

PhGS: Post-Hoc Pruning and Refinement of Single-View Feed-Forward 3D Gaussian Reconstructions

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.
