Geometry and Gradient-based Partitioning for Panoramic Outdoor Reconstruction

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.

GeoPano: Towards Geometrically Accurate 3D Reconstruction from a Single Panorama

GeoPano is a feed‑forward framework that reconstructs geometrically accurate 3D point clouds from a single panoramic image. It introduces a panoramic‑aware attention aggregator with a novel Pano‑Attention mechanism to exploit spherical geometry and reduce cross‑view inconsistencies. A hybrid supervision strategy enforces both fine‑grained local detail in perspective views and global structural coherence in spherical space, leading to superior reconstruction accuracy, consistency, and visual fidelity compared to prior state‑of‑the‑art methods.
