Drop-In Perceptual Optimization for 3D Gaussian Splatting

arXiv:2603. 23297v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Despite their output being ultimately consumed by human viewers, 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) methods often rely on ad-hoc combinations of pixel-level losses, resulting in blurry renderings.

Engine-Native Editable 3D World Reconstruction with Objects and Lighting

Editable 3D scene creation requires object instances and lights that can be inspected, moved, and imported into standard engines, yet existing single-image methods largely stop at room-scale geometry, baked/global illumination, or text-driven generation. We introduce Lumera (Light-aware Unified Engine-native Reconstruction and Assembly), a benchmark and reference pipeline for engine-native, light-aware 3D scene parsing from a single image.

Gauss What You Need: Compact Gaussian Splatting Across Scene Scales

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.
