Spackle: Completing Large View Single Image NVS with Adaptive Gaussians

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.

InceptionGS: Generative Bootstrapping for Large-Scale Gaussian Splatting under Unstructured View Sampling

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 then selectively repairs regions that suffer from sparse views by incorporating adaptive generative priors, while preserving quality in well‑sampled areas. Experiments on real‑world scenes show that this balanced reconstruction‑generation approach yields higher‑fidelity results and works broadly across unstructured imagery.

InceptionGS: Generative Bootstrapping for Large-Scale Gaussian Splatting under Unstructured View Sampling

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.

GS-PI: An Optimization-Decoupled Appearance Decomposition Approach for Generating PBR Gaussian Assets

GS-PI introduces an optimization‑decoupled framework that transforms Gaussian Splatting (GS) assets into physically based rendering (PBR) compatible Gaussian assets. By treating PBR material generation as a geometry‑conditioned diffusion process on 3D point clouds, it achieves multi‑view consistency and avoids the pixel‑correspondence problems of 2D diffusion. The method employs a multi‑scale cross‑view conditioning mechanism—combining global semantic priors, photometric cues, and spatial view‑direction signals—to prevent specular highlights from baking into intrinsic colors, and then distills the predicted attributes back into a fully relightable PBR‑GS asset without requiring proxy meshes.

PhGS: Post-Hoc Pruning and Refinement of Single-View Feed-Forward 3D Gaussian Reconstructions

The paper introduces PhGS, a post‑hoc pruning and refinement pipeline for single‑view feed‑forward 3D Gaussian Splatting models. By keeping the base network frozen, it applies importance‑score‑based pruning followed by a lightweight recurrent refinement module to reduce spatial redundancy while restoring image quality. The method is backbone‑agnostic, integrates seamlessly with existing baselines, preserves novel‑view rendering fidelity, achieves significant memory reduction, and allows flexible inference‑time keep ratios.
