The paper introduces Reflection-aware Gaussian Splatting (RGS), a physically-based deferred rendering framework that improves novel view synthesis for reflective objects. RGS leverages a powerful 3D foundation model to provide a strong geometric prior and employs cross-view shape consistency regularization to prevent surface collapse and reduce geometric hollows. Additionally, a reflection-aware densification strategy captures specular variations across views, resulting in higher-quality renderings of reflective objects.

InceptionGS is a method that improves large‑scale Gaussian splatting for scenes captured with unstructured view sampling. It starts from an initial Gaussian splatting and selectively repairs areas affected by sparse views by integrating scene‑ and view‑adaptive generative priors, while keeping well‑covered regions unchanged. Experiments on real‑world scenes show that this hybrid reconstruction‑generation approach yields higher‑fidelity results than existing methods.

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) employs Gaussian primitives for explicit scene representation, facilitating real-time, high-fidelity reconstruction and novel view synthesis of complex scenes. However, the explicit modeling inherent in 3DGS introduces a gradient bias during optimization, rendering its non-convex optimization process highly susceptible to convergence toward local suboptimal solutions.
