arXiv:2607. 02721v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) enables high-quality real-time novel-view synthesis, but practical scenes often contain millions of Gaussians, making compression essential for deployment on limited hardware.

Gauss What You Need: Compact Gaussian Splatting Across Scene Scales introduces TangoGS, a method that automatically selects the number of Gaussian primitives for 3D Gaussian Splatting by combining capture-derived model sizing with training-based adaptation. The approach first estimates a learning allowance based on the capture’s total pixels, then adjusts the number of Gaussians during training according to reconstruction quality. On standard benchmarks, TangoGS matches the best baseline’s PSNR while using 48% fewer Gaussians, and on larger captures it scales automatically to achieve the highest mean PSNR with 2.3× more Gaussians.

Efficient Confidence-Aware Densification for 3DGS proposes a new densification strategy for 3D Gaussian Splatting that replaces opacity-based sampling with error-driven placement of primitives. The method keeps a fixed primitive budget and places new primitives where image error and low learned confidence are highest, relocating under-contributing primitives accordingly. Across 24 scenes, it outperforms existing fixed-budget methods—including 3DGS-MCMC, ConeGS, and EDGS—in PSNR, SSIM, and LPIPS at budgets from 100k to 2M primitives, and can also leverage prior-based initialization to match or exceed prior methods.

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) renders novel views in real time, but an uncertainty heatmap does not certify that a rendered view meets a certain prediction coverage. We treat novel-view synthesis as st...
