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%.

GeoFF3D: Coordinate-Anchored Feed-Forward Reconstruction for Large-Scale UAV Mapping
GeoFF3D is a new feed‑forward 3D reconstruction method designed for large‑scale UAV mapping. It uses a coordinate‑anchored model that predicts camera poses and dense point maps directly in a gravity‑aligned Z‑up metric frame, while a spatial large‑scale reconstruction framework (SLRF) partitions images into overlapping chunks, propagates shared‑view priors, and aggregates local reconstructions hierarchically. Across nine aerial mapping blocks, GeoFF3D achieves the best average reconstruction quality, improving F@5 from 0.829 to 0.877, and can reconstruct 2,000 images in about five minutes.

Skyfall-GS: Synthesizing Immersive 3D Urban Scenes from Satellite Imagery
Skyfall-GS is a hybrid framework that generates large‑scale, city‑block‑sized 3D urban scenes by combining satellite imagery for coarse geometry with open‑domain diffusion models for detailed appearance. It uses a curriculum‑driven iterative refinement to improve geometric completeness and photorealistic textures, eliminating the need for costly 3D annotations. Experiments show that Skyfall‑GS achieves better cross‑view geometry consistency and more realistic textures than existing methods.
