Gaussian Splatting has been recently explored for satellite 3D reconstruction, demonstrating flexibility and efficiency in representing radiometrically diverse satellite scenes. However, the limited top viewpoint of satellite imagery results in insufficient supervision on building facades, leaving surface holes and degraded visual fidelity.
Scaling 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) to large outdoor scenes is costly in both data acquisition and computation. Adopting panoramic images with equirectangular projection (ERP) can reduce capture effort via their full $360^{\circ}$ field of view, yet the resulting omnipresent visibility invalidates existing partitioning strategies that rely on local camera frustums, causing block-wise optimization to degenerate into global training.
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%.
Newly triggered landslides rarely carry immediate annotations, so cross-domain transferability determines the value of landslide mapping for emergency response and regional risk assessment. Vision foundation models have strengthened representational transfer, yet on unseen regions, events, and data sources they still generate high-confidence false alarms.
