SwiftGS: Episodic Priors for Immediate Satellite Surface Recovery

arXiv:2603. 18634v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Rapid, large-scale 3D reconstruction from multi-date satellite imagery is vital for environmental monitoring, urban planning, and disaster response, yet remains difficult due to illumination changes, sensor heterogeneity, and the cost of per-scene optimization.

WildRelight: A Real-World Benchmark and Physics-Guided Adaptation for Single-Image Relighting

WildRelight is the first in-the-wild dataset designed to evaluate single-image relighting models, featuring high-resolution outdoor scenes captured under strictly aligned, temporally varying natural illuminations paired with high-dynamic-range environment maps. The benchmark demonstrates that state-of-the-art models trained on synthetic data suffer severe domain shifts when applied to real-world imagery. Leveraging the dataset’s temporal structure, the authors introduce a physics-guided inference framework combining Diffusion Posterior Sampling with Temporal Sampling-Aware Test-Time Adaptation, enabling synthetic models to self-supervise and align with real-world statistics on-the-fly.

WilLaGS: Latent-Conditional 3D Appearance Fields for Robust Gaussian Splatting In-the-Wild

WilLaGS introduces a unified framework that enhances 3D Gaussian Splatting for in-the-wild scenes by learning a continuous global appearance manifold with a β‑VAE and generating dynamic Tri‑Plane features for spatially‑varying local illumination. It also incorporates a self‑supervised perceptual masking mechanism using a Teacher‑Student EMA architecture to suppress transient artifacts and identify inconsistent regions. Experiments on multiple datasets show that WilLaGS achieves state‑of‑the‑art reconstruction quality and novel view synthesis while preserving real‑time rendering efficiency.

4DGS-WAM: Bridging Past and Future with an Object-Centric World Action Model based on 4D Gaussian Splatting

The paper introduces 4DGS-WAM, an object‑centric world action model that uses a 4D Gaussian Splatting representation to separate dynamic objects from a static background. By predicting future actions of dynamic actors and their Gaussian splat transformations, the model can reuse previously observed static content for future state generation, reducing redundant background processing. Experiments on the KITTI‑MOT dataset demonstrate the model’s ability to perform short‑horizon prediction and past reconstruction.
