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.

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.

GS‑VLA introduces a lightweight, plug‑and‑play framework that uses a 4 M‑parameter 3D‑Gaussian canonicalizer to adapt frozen Vision‑Language‑Action (VLA) policies to viewpoint shifts without retraining the policy. By treating viewpoint changes as a localized novel‑view synthesis problem under a locality assumption, the method normalizes observations through a scene‑ and policy‑independent disocclusion task. Experiments on the LIBERO benchmark demonstrate that GS‑VLA recovers a large portion of performance lost due to camera displacement, improving results across different policy architectures, unseen task suites, and perturbation scales.
whyItMatters":"The approach offers a computationally efficient alternative to costly fine‑tuning or generative augmentation, enabling robust VLA deployment in real‑world settings where camera configurations may vary."

VoxelTTO is a feed‑forward framework that reconstructs 3D Gaussian splatting scenes from multiple images by aggregating dense image features into a global voxel representation and decoding Gaussians from voxel features, thereby eliminating the pixel‑to‑Gaussian correspondence. It incorporates test‑time optimization with lightweight LoRA modules to adapt to known camera parameters while keeping the pretrained visual foundation model frozen. The method replaces standard rasterization with stochastic solid volume rendering, improving geometric fidelity, and demonstrates superior RGB‑D novel‑view synthesis and camera‑pose estimation on Replica, Tanks and Temples, and DTU datasets.

The paper introduces SPAR3S, a sparse voxel‑aligned 3D latent generative model that completes 3D scenes from sparse, unconstrained multi‑view images. It learns a compact voxel‑aligned latent space using photometric supervision via differentiable 3D Gaussian Splatting, and employs a masked autoregressive transformer to predict missing voxel occupancy and latent tokens. Experiments on synthetic indoor scenes and RealEstate10k show that SPAR3S achieves higher novel‑view quality than prior methods and generalizes to real‑world data.

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.
