The paper introduces 2D GauSS-MI, an active scene reconstruction framework that uses 2D Gaussian Splatting (2DGS) to efficiently process incremental RGB‑D data. It presents an online 2DGS mapping pipeline and a probabilistic reliability model to assess view‑dependent reconstruction quality. Leveraging this model, the authors define a Shannon Mutual Information metric that guides active view selection, balancing visual and geometric quality while reducing computational cost and storage compared to state‑of‑the‑art baselines.
Active reconstruction requires efficient active view selection to achieve high-quality reconstruction within limited onboard computational resources. Existing methods face challenges in adequately bal...

CoMVS‑GS is a surface‑reconstruction framework that fuses Multi‑View Stereo (MVS) with 3D Gaussian splatting. It initializes Gaussian primitives from dense MVS points, uses PatchMatch‑3DGS mutual supervision to refine depths and normals, and replaces voxel‑based meshing with a Delaunay graph‑cut pipeline. Experiments on DTU, GauU‑Scene V2, and MatrixCity demonstrate competitive object‑level results and improved geometric accuracy and mesh compactness in outdoor scenes while preserving high rendering quality.
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.
EliGSiR is a continual RGB‑D mapping method that extends 3D Gaussian Splatting to online settings by adaptively allocating optimization resources. It introduces Map‑Guided View Scheduling to filter redundant views, Load‑Adaptive Fidelity to adjust supervision resolution, and Targeted Geometry Growth to add geometric capacity only where needed. The approach is evaluated on Replica, TUM RGB‑D, ScanNet++, and real sensor sequences, achieving higher reconstruction quality and faster performance than several baselines.

Dynamic 4D Gaussian Splatting has emerged as an efficient representation for dynamic novel view synthesis through explicit scene modeling and real-time rendering. However, existing methods typically require dense multi-view videos for sufficient geometric constraints, making capture expensive and limiting sparse-camera deployment.
EliGSiR is a continual RGB‑D mapping system that extends Gaussian splatting to handle online, bounded‑compute scenarios.
