GS-Net: Heterogeneous Vehicle Data Reuse via Generalizable Plug-and-Play 3DGS Module

GS‑Net is a lightweight plug‑and‑play module that expands sparse Structure‑from‑Motion point clouds into dense Gaussian primitives, enabling cross‑sensor view synthesis for autonomous driving. It learns a generalizable initialization for 3D Gaussian Splatting, improving rendering quality for both interpolated and extrapolated camera viewpoints. The authors introduce CARLA‑NVS, a benchmark with 12 uniformly spaced cameras, and show that GS‑Net outperforms standard 3DGS by 2.08 dB PSNR on interpolated views and 1.86 dB on extrapolated views while being 50× faster to initialize.

FF-ProCams: Feed-Forward Gaussian Splatting for Projector-Camera System

Projector-camera (ProCams) systems achieve active scene perception and controllable appearance manipulation via structured illumination, serving as a core infrastructure for spatial augmented reality, projection mapping, and surface reflectance acquisition. Existing inverse-rendering methods for ProCams deliver high-fidelity results but rely on time-consuming per-scene optimization, while mainstream feed-forward 3D reconstruction models produce baked appearance that cannot adapt to spatially varying projector illumination.

CADSplat: Sparse-View 3D Gaussian Splatting Aided by CAD Models for Robust, Photorealistic Digital-Twin Reconstruction

CADSplat is a framework that reconstructs photorealistic, geometrically accurate digital twins from fewer than 15 wide‑baseline images by regularizing 3D Gaussian Splatting with an explicit CAD shape prior. It matches segmented object silhouettes to a CAD library to retrieve a suitable model and camera poses, then anchors Gaussian primitives to the model’s surface and jointly optimizes splat parameters, registration, and a non‑rigid deformation field. Experiments on two real‑world datasets show CADSplat outperforms baselines, especially in sparse and self‑occluded scenarios, and its gains mainly stem from constraining splats to a surface rather than the CAD shape itself.

FRUC: Feedforward Dynamic Scene Reconstruction from Uncalibrated Collaborative Driving Views

FRUC is a feedforward 3D Gaussian Splatting framework that reconstructs dynamic scenes from uncalibrated collaborative driving views. It uses a visual‑grounded geometric Transformer backbone for one‑shot, calibration‑free inference and introduces an ego‑centric causal occlusion field to model occlusion evolution across agents. The method performs cross‑agent integration as a deterministic residual denoising process, achieving state‑of‑the‑art rendering quality and efficiency on V2X‑Real and UrbanIng‑V2X datasets.
