LoBE-GS: Load-Balanced and Efficient 3D Gaussian Splatting for Large-Scale Scene Reconstruction

LoBE-GS is a Load‑Balanced and Efficient 3D Gaussian Splatting framework designed for large‑scale scene reconstruction. It introduces a load‑balanced KD‑tree partitioning scheme that balances camera counts per block, uses depth‑based back‑projection to speed up camera assignment, and applies visibility cropping and selective densification to cut training costs. Experiments on urban and outdoor datasets show up to an order‑of‑magnitude faster scene‑partitioning and a 3.2× reduction in worst‑block fine‑training time compared to CityGaussian, while keeping reconstruction quality competitive.

VolFill: Single-View Amodal 3D Scene Reconstruction with Volumetric Flow Matching

VolFill is a generative framework that reconstructs the complete 3D geometry of a scene from a single RGB image, addressing the challenge of inferring hidden structures. It uses a hybrid 3D VAE to encode sparse truncated unsigned distance function grids into a latent space, and a latent Diffusion Transformer to denoise and recover the full scene. By conditioning on a geometry foundation model, VolFill leverages spatial priors and provides a structured representation that enables direct surface extraction and scalable occupancy queries, outperforming existing amodal baselines on SCRREAM and NRGB-D datasets.

Voronoi-Assisted Optimization for Diffusing Unsigned Distance Fields from Unoriented Points

The paper introduces VAD, a lightweight, network‑free method for computing Unsigned Distance Fields (UDFs) from unoriented point clouds. It assigns bi‑directional normals using two Voronoi‑based criteria, diffuses these normals to approximate a UDF gradient field, and then integrates to recover the final UDF. Experiments show VAD handles watertight, open, non‑manifold, and non‑orientable geometries efficiently and stably.

CoMVS-GS: Collaborative Multi-View Stereo and 3D Gaussian Splatting for Surface Reconstruction

CoMVS‑GS is a surface‑reconstruction framework that fuses Multi‑View Stereo (MVS) with 3D Gaussian splatting. It initializes Gaussian primitives from dense MVS points, uses PatchMatch‑3DGS mutual supervision to refine depths and normals, and replaces voxel‑based meshing with a Delaunay graph‑cut pipeline. Experiments on DTU, GauU‑Scene V2, and MatrixCity demonstrate competitive object‑level results and improved geometric accuracy and mesh compactness in outdoor scenes while preserving high rendering quality.

STARS-GS: Structure-Aware Regularized Gaussian Splatting for Large-Scale Aerial Surface Reconstruction

STARS-GS is a new structure‑aware 3D Gaussian Splatting framework designed for large‑scale aerial surface reconstruction. It introduces a scene partitioning strategy that preserves continuous scene elements, a neighborhood‑aware Gaussian organization that extends geometric constraints to local neighborhoods, and an adaptive surface regularization that tailors regularization strength to local geometry. Experiments on aerial photogrammetry benchmarks show that STARS‑GS improves the average F1‑score from 0.640 to 0.698, a relative gain of about 9.1%.
