The paper introduces a structure‑aware merging pipeline that consolidates per‑pixel 3D Gaussian primitives from any feed‑forward reconstruction method into a compact, content‑adaptive Gaussian set. By grouping spatially coherent Gaussians with adaptive superpixel segmentation guided by a saliency map, compressing clusters via a learned encoder, and merging representations across views using geometric overlap and feature similarity, the method reduces the number of Gaussians to about one‑twentieth of the original while preserving visual quality. A level‑of‑detail decoder allows controllable resolution, and the pipeline operates as a backbone‑agnostic post‑processing module, improving robustness and rendering efficiency.

UniQueR is a unified query‑based feedforward framework that reconstructs 3D scenes from unposed images by treating reconstruction as a sparse 3D query inference problem. It learns a compact set of 3D anchor points that serve as explicit geometric queries, allowing the network to infer scene structure—including occluded geometry—in a single forward pass. By encoding spatial and appearance priors directly in global 3D space and using a decoupled cross‑attention design, UniQueR achieves strong geometric expressiveness while reducing memory and computational cost, outperforming state‑of‑the‑art feedforward methods on Mip‑NeRF 360 and VR‑NeRF with far fewer primitives.

Open vocabulary 3D scene understanding is essential for next-generation interactive systems, empowering users to intuitively query and navigate reconstructed environments using natural language. However, current 3D Gaussian frameworks are often bottlenecked by restrictive multiview capture requirements, costly scene-specific optimization, and the massive memory overhead of storing dense language features.
Feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) enables scalable scene reconstruction without per-scene optimization, yet produces dense Gaussians that are costly to store and transmit. Existing feed-forward Gaussian compression methods formulate decoding as deterministic representation recovery, which becomes inadequate at low bitrates when high-frequency textures and view-dependent appearance are discarded.
Spackle is a lightweight residual learning framework designed to improve large-view single-image novel view synthesis (NVS) by mitigating capacity competition in hybrid decoupled systems that combine 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) and diffusion models. It operates in three stages: predicting base 3DGS attributes, automatically identifying poorly reconstructed regions, and learning a residual 3DGS focused on those areas. During inference, Spackle merges the baseline and augmented Gaussians to produce high-fidelity novel views, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance on large-view-deviation cases.

The paper introduces a fusion‑aware hierarchical Gaussian patch representation that enables direct class‑guided generation of 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) objects. By decomposing irregular Gaussian sets into canonical local patches and encoding them as structured tokens, the method fuses global class semantics with patch‑level geometry, appearance, spatial correspondence, and rendering‑sensitive cues. A structure‑aware rectified flow model, conditioned on patch positions and coupled with global‑local velocity prediction and density‑aware weighting, produces class‑conditioned 3DGS objects within seconds, achieving more coherent geometry, sharper local details, and better multi‑view consistency than baseline models.

The paper introduces SPAR3S, a sparse voxel‑aligned 3D latent generative model that completes 3D scenes from sparse, unconstrained multi‑view images. By representing only occupied voxels in a compact latent space and training a masked autoregressive transformer with photometric supervision via differentiable 3D Gaussian Splatting, the method predicts missing latent tokens and spatial support, enabling efficient and spatially consistent generation of unseen regions. Experiments on synthetic indoor scenes and RealEstate10k demonstrate higher novel‑view quality and real‑world applicability compared to prior work.
CompactSplat introduces a feedforward scene reconstruction method that adaptively allocates 3D Gaussian primitives based on texture-guided spatial partitioning and hierarchical sampling. By concentrating dense Gaussians in complex regions and using expanded primitives for flat areas, it reduces redundancy and better captures planar geometry. The framework also allows dynamic sparsity control during inference, enabling trade-offs between rendering quality and memory usage without retraining.
