Feed-forward model improves 3D scene capture with faster Gaussian refinement

GradSplat: Gradients Inside the Forward Pass for Feed-Forward 3D Gaussian Splatting

Abstract: Feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting predicts a scene from a few images, but our predictor is less accurate than its own Gaussians optimized per scene on those images. This gap lies mostly in the shape of the Gaussians, their scale and rotation, since optimizing the shape alone recovers almost all of it and opacity and color recover less. Gradient steps on the input views correct this shape, and the model holds these views at inference. Log-anisotropy correction changes the axis ratios of each Gaussian in log space at constant volume, and in-forward gradient refinement renders the Gaussians into the input views and applies the gradient of the photometric loss with a learned recurrent update, first to opacity and color and then to the shape. GradSplat is a feed-forward model that refines its own Gaussians by learned gradient steps inside its forward pass, with no target view. On both complete six-view RealEstate10K protocols, it has the best PSNR and SSIM among nine methods and keeps its accuracy from $6$ to $42$ input views. Without fine-tuning, it is the most accurate on DL3DV and has the best PSNR and SSIM on ScanNet++. The code will be released at https://github.com/Jingong-Chen/GradSplat/.

The gist
Capturing 3D scenes from a few pictures can be tricky, and the usual automatic methods sometimes get shapes wrong. The authors created a way for their model to fix these shape mistakes during its own process, by learning small adjustments that improve how the 3D spots (called Gaussians) fit the images. This new approach makes the model's predictions much closer to those made by slow, specialized scene-by-scene fixes but works faster and with no extra info. Their method performed best in tests with several sets of pictures.

Gate3DGen improves 3D image quality by selectively cleaning photos

Gate3DGen: A Pre-processing Model that Selectively Purifies Real-World Images for 3D Generation

Abstract: Single-image 3D generation has achieved high fidelity on curated benchmarks, yet degrades sharply on real-world images with uneven illumination, blur, and occlusions. Purifying such inputs requires deciding when to intervene and preserving the visual cues needed for 3D generation, while leaving clean inputs unchanged. We introduce Gate3DGen, a selective pre-processing model that gates image inputs to existing 3D generators without retraining them. A degradation-aware router bypasses inputs classified as clean and extracts features to guide purification of the remaining inputs. Conditioned on these features, a 3D-oriented one-step purifier purifies degraded inputs with spatial losses that encourage preservation of object identity, contours, and textural cues. To provide paired supervision, we construct a synthetic data engine that renders clean views of 3D assets and synthesises composite degradations. On the synthetic benchmark, the purifier improves image fidelity and downstream 3D geometry in only 2.3s on average, reducing TRELLIS.2 mesh distance by 61.5% relative to degraded inputs. VLM evaluation and human preferences on real photographs further support identity preservation and degradation correction. More demos and code are available at https://supra-3d.github.io/gate3dgen.

Creating 3D models from a single photo works well with high-quality images but struggles with real-world photos that might be blurry, dark, or partially blocked. The authors designed Gate3DGen, a tool that first checks if a photo needs cleaning and only fixes it when necessary, keeping important details for 3D modeling. They trained this system using synthetic images with known problems, so it learns what needs fixing. Tests show this method quickly improves the quality of 3D models from challenging photos while preserving what makes objects recognizable.

Leap method speeds up diffusion model sampling with accuracy

LEAP: Accelerating ODE-based Diffusion Sampling with Optimal Linear Leaps

Abstract: Diffusion models primarily rely on general-purpose ODE-based numerical methods for training-free accelerated sampling, but performance degrades with coarse time discretization. In this paper, we propose optimal linear leaps (LEAP), a specialized method grounded in theoretical and empirical investigations of sampling trajectory geometry. Built upon low-dimensionality and cross-trajectory consistency, LEAP formulates a supervised least-squares optimization problem within the local trajectory subspace, achieving a precise approximation of future states without model evaluations. Extensive experiments demonstrate that LEAP outperforms previous methods across diverse modalities, including text-to-image (Stable Diffusion 3.5, FLUX.1-dev) and image-to-3D (TRELLIS.2) generation. Furthermore, LEAP can be seamlessly integrated into existing solver-based methods, offering a plug-and-play enhancement for modern diffusion models. Code is available at https://github.com/zju-pi/LEAP.

Diffusion models help computers create images and 3D content by gradually improving guesses. Usually, speeding this process up makes the final output worse when using rough time steps. The authors designed LEAP, a new technique that carefully predicts future steps without extra work, based on understanding the path these guesses take. This method works better and faster on many tasks like turning text into images or creating 3D models from images, and it can be easily added to existing tools.

FineSplat improves 3D scene reconstruction with detailed patches

FineSplat: Fine Patches, Local Groups, Detailed Splats

Abstract: Feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) promises instant scene reconstruction with high-quality novel-view synthesis. Yet, fine-grained geometry and appearance remain difficult to recover, motivating us to revisit how feed-forward models represent, aggregate, and refine detailed visual information. We introduce FineSplat, a feed-forward 3DGS framework built around fine-grained image patches. Since global multi-view attention becomes prohibitively expensive at such high token resolutions, we develop a dual-grouping strategy that combines two complementary forms of locality: view-wise grouping enables efficient interaction among neighboring views, while 3D spatial grouping reconnects geometrically related tokens that may never have interacted under view-wise grouping by lifting them into the 3D scene space. We further leverage reconstruction error as direct feedback, providing an explicit rendering-based signal to recover fine-grained structures and appearance, thereby overcoming the limitations of one-pass feed-forward prediction. Finally, a compact Gaussian generation scheme preserves the benefits of fine-grained features without unnecessarily increasing the number of primitives. Together, these designs enable FineSplat to recover richer geometry and appearance while remaining efficient and compact, achieving state-of-the-art results by a substantial margin, under the same or smaller Gaussian budgets than existing methods.

Reconstructing 3D scenes quickly while keeping fine details is hard. The authors present FineSplat, a method that breaks images into small patches and groups visual information in two ways: by nearby views and by 3D space connections. This approach helps recover detailed shapes and appearances more accurately. They also use error feedback to refine the results and keep the model efficient by generating compact representations.

Flexpart controls 3d part segmentation using text at any level

FlexPart: Text-Controlled Semantics-Aware 3D Part Segmentation at Flexible Granularity

Abstract: A 3D asset admits multiple valid part decompositions, while semantics-aware segmentation should reflect both the desired granularity and the parts a user wants to extract. Ideally, a practical segmentation model should strive for a simple principle: what you ask for is what you get. However, realizing this goal is hindered by two core obstacles: the lack of multi-granularity training data and the absence of a holistic control mechanism. We propose FLEXPART, a unified framework for text-controlled 3D mesh segmentation. To establish flexible control, we introduce a holistic control prompt comprising semantic part names with location and shape clauses. To support this mechanism, we utilize an automated Vision-Language Model (VLM) pipeline to construct a large-scale dataset of multi-granularity partitions and their corresponding prompts. Driven by this data, FLEXPART generates a view-independent part-identity field in native 3D space, directly assigning discrete part IDs to mesh faces. To compel the model to respect semantic conditions rather than rely on geometric priors, we train the model using randomized background dropping. Furthermore, an inference-time VLM planner can automatically complete descriptive clauses from 2D renderings, allowing users to simply name the desired parts in ordinary words. FLEXPART with planner-completed prompts outperforms the strongest evaluated baseline by 15% in mIoU, even when that baseline receives ground-truth guidance. On our held-out FLEXPARTBENCH, FLEXPART leads at each granularity and improves average mIoU by 22% over the strongest baseline. With only the requested part names supplied by the user, it also improves IoU by 35% over the strongest click-driven baseline on selective segmentation.

Segmenting 3D objects into meaningful parts can vary greatly depending on how detailed you want the parts and which parts you want to select. The authors introduce FLEXPART, a system that lets users describe the parts they want to extract from a 3D model using simple text instructions, including descriptions of part names, locations, and shapes. They created a large dataset with varying levels of detail by leveraging existing vision-language models to train FLEXPART. The system assigns part identities directly onto 3D shapes and improves segmentation accuracy by up to 35% compared to previous methods, even when just given part names.

3d generation method improves texture detail and surface completion

SUPRA-TEX: 3D Generation with Super-Aligned Texture

Abstract: Single image 3D generation aims to dress a given 3D mesh with relightable materials while faithfully preserving the visual details of a reference image. Existing methods either introduce artifacts when fusing inconsistent multi-view predictions or struggle to preserve fine details through implicit image-feature conditioning. To resolve these challenges, we introduce SUPRA-Tex, built on the principle of decoupling visible-material estimation, surface alignment, and observation-guided 3D completion. This division of labor allows the 3D generator, trained on limited 3D data, to focus its capacity on preserving visible evidence and completing unobserved surfaces. Specifically, we first train an MLLM-based image editing model to predict lighting-separated PBR maps in the reference view. We then project these maps onto the visible surface and encode them with the pretrained material VAE encoder into native observation latents that share the generation target's latent space. An interleaved flow transformer holds these latents as fixed, read-only anchors while alternating unobserved-region and full-surface updates to generate complete material latents. This design achieves super-alignment with the reference, delivering What You See Is What You Get fidelity on visible regions and coherent completion on unobserved surfaces. Trained solely on public datasets, SUPRA-Tex achieves SOTA performance in both geometry-conditioned texturing and end-to-end asset generation, matching or even exceeding leading commercial systems on in-the-wild images.

Creating realistic 3D objects from a single photo is hard because it’s tough to capture fine details and fill in unseen parts correctly. The authors introduce a method called SUPRA-Tex that breaks this task into smaller steps: estimating visible materials, aligning surfaces, and completing hidden areas. They use AI models to separate lighting effects and predict detailed materials, then combine this information to create 3D textures that closely match the original photo where visible and fill in missing parts smoothly. Their approach performs better than existing methods and even matches commercial tools.

3DCodeVerse builds a dataset and toolset for coding 3D worlds

3DCodeVerse: Exploring 3D Worlds as Code

Abstract: We introduce 3DCodeVerse, a research ecosystem that enables coding agents to create editable and verifiable 3D content at scale. 3DCodeVerse comprises large-scale, high-quality datasets of executable 3D code, a coding harness for spatial reasoning and automated verification, and practical guidance for 3D coding. First, we construct 3DCodeVerse-2M, a large-scale curated dataset of standalone 3D executable code. We build this corpus by collecting open-source data, converting specialized representations, and generating new programs with coding agents. Each program is packaged with the source files and associated assets required for execution in its declared environment, along with available descriptions and verification records. Second, we develop the 3DCodeVerse Harness, a multi-agent directed acyclic graph framework for generating and refining 3D content. It uses execution checks, spatial measurements, and visual feedback to automatically evaluate and revise generated programs without human feedback during generation. Third, we conduct systematic empirical studies of 3D coding, establishing baselines with fine-tuned open models and deriving practical guidance through component-level analyses of our harness. Extensive experiments demonstrate that fine-tuning on our dataset significantly improves the 3D coding capabilities of open-source models. Notably, our 3DCodeVerse harness achieves a 90% win rate against Claude Design (3D Object) in pairwise human evaluations, when both are utilized by Claude Opus 5.5.

GenIA improves 3D object reconstruction from limited images

GenIA: Generative Reconstruction with Test-Time Input Alignment

Abstract: Reconstructing complete 3D object assets from monocular or sparse multi-view observations remains challenging. Generative 3D foundation models can complete object geometry beyond the observed views, but their predictions may not faithfully reproduce the observed geometry, appearance, or pose. We introduce GenIA, a framework for test-time input-aligned generation that grounds SAM3D's generative prior in geometric and photometric observations without retraining the foundation model. We improve object pose by deriving translation and scale from geometry while retaining the learned rotation prior, and align appearance through visibility-biased attention, cross-observation fusion, and differentiable rendering guidance during denoising. An optional post-denoising refinement further adapts the appearance latent, lightweight decoder adapters, and object placement to the observations. Our framework also supports externally supplied geometry; when given temporal shapes of dynamic objects, it recovers a shared, input-aligned canonical appearance and stable world-space placement. Across synthetic and real benchmarks, GenIA improves pose prediction and object reconstruction from monocular, multi-view, and dynamic inputs, outperforming recent optimization-based, per-frame image-to-3D, and video-to-4D methods. Our project page is available at https://facebookresearch.github.io/GenIA.

Reconstructing full 3D shapes from single or few pictures is hard because the models might not perfectly match what’s seen. The authors present GenIA, a system that adjusts a powerful 3D model’s guesses at test time to better fit the observed images without needing to retrain the model. They fix object position and size using geometric clues, improve appearance by focusing on visible parts and combining observations, and use a special rendering process to guide the refinement. GenIA works well on static and moving objects, improving accuracy over several recent methods.

Mc-sparse speeds up diffusion transformers while keeping quality high

MC-Sparse: Deconstructing and Closing the Dense-Sparse Attention Gap in Diffusion Transformers

Abstract: Sparse attention is a primary approach to reducing the latency of diffusion transformers in long-sequence generation tasks, such as video and high-resolution 3D asset generation. However, existing methods can degrade generation quality and fidelity at high sparsity levels. Through controlled oracle comparisons, we trace this degradation to three sources: constraints imposed by token grouping, inaccurate interaction selection, and the attention contributions lost when tokens are discarded. Guided by this analysis, we propose Meta-Cached Sparse Attention (MC-Sparse), a training-free framework that selects individual key-value (KV) tokens while organizing similar queries into tile-aligned groups for efficient GPU execution. MC-Sparse caches metadata comprising query groups, KV indices selected using exact attention probabilities, and residuals between dense and sparse attention outputs, and reuses them across subsequent denoising steps. Across video and 3D generation models, MC-Sparse achieves higher fidelity to dense-attention outputs and larger denoising speedups than existing sparse-attention baselines, without visible quality degradation. Relative to dense attention, it delivers a $1.80\times$ denoising speedup on Minimax-H3-Base and a $2.32\times$ speedup on 3D asset generation, both with negligible quality loss.

The gist
Diffusion transformers are helpful for generating videos and 3D models but can be slow when handling a lot of data. The authors found out why existing shortcuts called sparse attention slow down generation quality when too many tokens are skipped. They designed MC-Sparse, a smart way to pick which parts to focus on without losing details, and it remembers useful info to work faster over time. This method speeds up generation by nearly twice as much without noticeable drops in quality.

Geometry conditioned method speeds up multi view image generation

NAMVIS: Next-Scale Autoregressive Multi-View Image Synthesis

Abstract: Sparse-view novel view synthesis is a central problem in 3D content creation, but diffusion-based approaches remain limited by iterative denoising, making multi-view generation expensive at inference time. We introduce NAMVIS, a diffusion-free framework that reformulates multi-view image synthesis as geometry-conditioned next-scale autoregression. Instead of generating target views through repeated denoising, NAMVIS predicts discrete visual tokens through a small number of coarse-to-fine scale steps, while sampling all tokens within each scale and across target views in parallel. To anchor this generation process to explicit camera geometry, we propose Multi-scale Projective Pose Encoding, which injects source and target camera transformations into both target-view self-attention and source-to-target cross-attention at every resolution. NAMVIS further combines global conditioning with dense geometry-aware cross-attention, enabling the model to preserve source-view appearance while maintaining target-view consistency. Across Objaverse, GSO, and OmniObject3D, NAMVIS outperforms diffusion-based baselines in PSNR, SSIM, and LPIPS, while running over 3 times faster than the evaluated diffusion baselines under the same evaluation setting. These results suggest that geometry-conditioned next-scale autoregression is a promising and efficient alternative to diffusion for sparse-view multi-view synthesis. Additional qualitative results, videos, and resources are available at https://corl-team.github.io/namvis/

Sequential reward scheduling improves text to 3D model training

OuroReward: Sequential Reward Scheduling for Reinforcement Learning in Text-to-3D Generation

Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) for Text-to-3D (T23D) generation requires optimization across multiple quality dimensions such as semantic alignment and texture clarity. Existing methods typically optimize these dimensions simultaneously through multiple reward aggregation, without explicitly modeling inter-dimension dependencies. This can cause imbalanced optimization and persistent interference among conflicting dimensions. To address this limitation, we propose OuroReward, an interference-aware sequential reward scheduling strategy for T23D RL. OuroReward first estimates pairwise dependencies among dimensions and constructs a cyclic optimization path that minimizes cumulative interference. By incorporating the tail-to-head dependency, the cycle captures global compatibility across the entire schedule. Then, OuroReward converts the cycle into a one-pass sequence, and starts optimization from the dimension with the lowest aggregate interference. Rather than assigning a fixed optimization budget to each dimension-wise reward, training adaptively determines when to advance to the next reward according to the remaining optimization headroom of the current one. We further introduce AdaSelect, an adaptive prompt selection strategy that identifies reliable and informative prompts aligned with the model's current capability. By focusing policy updates on these prompts, AdaSelect effectively improves training stability. Extensive experiments across different T23D models and RL algorithms demonstrate that our framework consistently improves generation quality across multiple dimensions.

Making 3D models from text descriptions requires balancing different qualities like matching the description and having clear textures. The authors noticed that fixing all qualities at once can cause conflicts and poor results. They created OuroReward, a method that plans the order of focusing on each quality based on how they affect each other to reduce interference during learning. They also developed AdaSelect, which picks good example descriptions to train on, helping the learning process stay stable. Their tests show these ideas improve the quality of 3D models created from text.

Stage aware method erases concepts in text to 3D models

STAGE: Subspace-Targeted Affine Generative Erasure for Text-to-3D Models

Abstract: Concept erasure suppresses a target concept while preserving behavior on unrelated inputs. Existing closed-form methods were designed for 2D image diffusion and assume a single generative pathway, so one edit must cover geometry and texture at once. Native 3D generators, which synthesize structured 3D representations directly rather than by lifting 2D samples, violate this assumption. We show that shape and object concepts must be erased in the structural stage of the pipeline and material concepts in the appearance stage. We therefore formulate erasure in native text-to-3D as a stage-aware editing problem and introduce STAGE, a training-free, closed-form framework. STAGE confines each edit to the low-dimensional subspace spanned by the differences between erase and anchor embeddings, and relaxes the norm-preserving (orthogonal) constraint of prior editors into a least-squares affine correction that maps target activations onto safe anchors subject to a penalty on the displacement of retained prompts. The correction applies to the structural stage, the appearance stage, or both. We find that the stage an edit must reach is determined by concept type. On TRELLIS, the standard open native 3D generator, across 15 shape, material, and object concepts, STAGE reaches 66.7 on a composite score that balances forgetting the target concept against preserving everything else, aggregating CLIP-based semantic and physical metrics, versus 53.2 for the strongest adapted baseline.

Sometimes when making 3D images from text, creators want to remove certain shapes or textures without messing up everything else in the model. The authors show that changes to shape and object details need to happen in an earlier stage of making the 3D model, while changes to appearance or materials happen later. They introduce a new way called STAGE that carefully edits just the right parts at the right times without retraining the model. STAGE works better than previous methods in forgetting unwanted parts while keeping everything else intact.

Blended tile conditioning improves 3D generation from detailed images

BTC3D: Blended Tile Conditioning for Detail-Enhancing Image-to-3D Generation

Abstract: Recent diffusion-based pipelines have achieved promising progress in image-to-3D synthesis. However, generating high-fidelity details remains challenging, especially when the input image contains rich details. Existing approaches often rely on globally encoded conditioning features, which compress spatial information and limit the model to reproduce fine-grained details. This common design often leads to a phenomenon we term detail attenuation. Moreover, improving image-to-3D synthesis quality typically requires retraining or fine-tuning large diffusion models, which can be computationally expensive and impractical for complex 3D pipelines. In this work, we present Blended Tile Conditioning for image-to-3D generation (BTC3D), a training-free inference time framework that enhances fine-grained detail preservation in image-to-3D diffusion pipelines. To alleviate detail attenuation, we first examine the image feature additivity in image-to-3D models. Based on this property, we introduce a blended tile embedding that extracts local conditioning signals from split image regional patches, allowing the diffusion model to better preserve fine-grained visual details. To integrate the global and local conditioning guidance stably, we propose a dynamic conditioning schedule that gradually increases the influence of tile-level conditioning during later low-noise stages of diffusion. Our proposed method BTC3D operates entirely at inference time and can be seamlessly integrated into existing image-to-3D diffusion pipelines. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly improves texture quality and visual fidelity of the base model while maintaining global structural consistency in a training-free manner.

Gaussian splatting method fills 3D scenes faster without reference images

WINGS: Reference-Free Gaussian Splatting Inpainting with 3D-Native Generative Priors

Abstract: Inpainting 3D Gaussian Splatting scenes, a key challenge in 3D editing, requires generating plausible content within a masked region of 3D space. Prior approaches rely on 2D diffusion models to produce one or several inpainted reference views, making them susceptible to challenges associated with multi-view inconsistency and lengthy optimization times. Departing from these approaches, we introduce a reference-free Gaussian splatting inpainting method operating natively in 3D. Our method leverages the embedding space of a large, pre-trained 3D prior, combined with a structure completion network to feed a generative prior which reconstructs the missing region's geometry and appearance. Performing content generation entirely in 3D, it avoids the need to reconcile inconsistencies of multiple inpainted reference images, and is faster than related 2D-based methods. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method qualitatively and quantitatively, through extensive experiments and a user study. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first Gaussian splatting inpainting method to operate in the learned representation space of a 3D-native generative prior without relying on inpainted reference views.

Their tests show it produces good results both visually and by user feedback.

Geometry improves sparse view synthesis with diffusion model guidance

VGGT-Diff: Visual Geometry Meets Diffusion for Sparse-View Novel View Synthesis

Abstract: We present VGGT-Diff, a geometry-routed multi-view diffusion model for sparse-view novel view synthesis. Existing novel view synthesis (NVS) methods face a fundamental trade-off: reconstruction-based approaches preserve observed geometry but struggle to synthesize unseen regions, while diffusion-based methods provide strong generative priors yet rely on implicit source-to-query correspondence. VGGT-Diff bridges these regimes by routing visual geometry latents from VGGT-Ω into a pretrained video diffusion model. Each visual token is associated with a 3D point and confidence, then transformed into query-aligned latent conditions through a confidence-aware Visual Geometry Router (VGR) that preserves front and back surface evidence. These conditions guide joint target-view denoising, while Point-Track Residual Consistency (PTRC) regularizes predicted-clean residuals along reliable 3D tracks, improving multi-view stability. We further introduce robust geometry conditioning, combining training-time regularization with inference-time guidance for improved robustness. Experiments show competitive or state-of-the-art performance across interpolation and extrapolation under different viewpoint difficulties.

This results in more accurate and stable images when imagining new viewpoints, even from few original photos. Their method works well on tests that include both views between and beyond the original pictures.

Ultratex speeds up high-resolution 3d texture generation by dropping background data

UltraTex: Unleashing 2K Multi-View Diffusion for 3D Texturing

Abstract: High-quality texture generation is essential for creating realistic and production-ready 3D assets. Recent multi-view diffusion methods have shown promising results for image-guided 3D texturing, but they are typically constrained to low operating resolutions such as 512 or 768, making it difficult to preserve high-frequency details from high-resolution reference images. Scaling this paradigm to 2048 resolution is computationally prohibitive, as the unified multi-view sequence exceeds 212K tokens and incurs excessive memory and latency. In this paper, we present UltraTex, an efficient end-to-end framework for high-resolution multi-view diffusion-based 3D texturing. Our key observation is that object-centric multi-view renderings contain two major sources of redundancy: background-induced sequence redundancy and sparse token interactions within the foreground. To address them, we introduce Background Token Dropping, which removes background tokens before the DiT backbone, and Block-Sparse Attention, which reduces attention computation over the retained foreground sequence. To enable efficient foreground-only inference while avoiding reconstruction artifacts, we further design Foreground-Aware VAE Decoding to ensure the quality of the final high-resolution views. To satisfy the demanding data requirements of 2K-resolution multi-view diffusion training, we construct G-buffer TexVerse, a large-scale, ultra-high-resolution multi-view rendering dataset covering over 268,000 3D assets. Extensive experiments show that UltraTex generates visually faithful textures with rich fine-grained details, while substantially improving efficiency, achieving $20.6\times$--$91.1\times$ training speedup and $22.3\times$--$74.6\times$ end-to-end inference speedup over the baseline on common samples in our dataset.

Creating detailed surface colors for 3D objects needs high-quality textures, but existing methods struggle with very high resolution images because they use too much memory and take too long. The authors show that by ignoring parts of the image that aren't important (background) and focusing only on the object itself, their system called UltraTex can generate much sharper textures faster. They also built a huge dataset to train their method to work well at 2048 resolution. UltraTex speeds up training and inference many times while capturing fine details well.

VoxelTTO improves 3D scene reconstruction and camera pose accuracy

VoxelTTO: Voxel-Aligned Feed-Forward 3D Gaussian Splatting with Test-Time Optimization

Abstract: Recent feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) methods typically regress pixel-aligned Gaussian primitives, often causing excessive overlap and artifacts, while inaccuracies in predicted camera poses can lead to misalignment in novel-view synthesis (NVS). We present VoxelTTO, a feed-forward framework for reconstructing geometrically accurate 3DGS scenes from an arbitrary number of images and optional camera parameters. VoxelTTO aggregates dense image features into a global voxel representation and decodes Gaussians from voxel features, breaking the pixel-to-Gaussian correspondence. To exploit known camera parameters while keeping the pretrained visual foundation model (VFM) parameters frozen, we introduce test-time optimization (TTO) that adapts lightweight LoRA modules using pose supervision. We further replace vanilla 3DGS rasterization with stochastic solid volume rendering during training and inference, improving geometric fidelity. Training updates only the voxel-aligned Gaussian reconstruction modules, requiring 80 GPU hours. Experiments on Replica, Tanks and Temples, and DTU demonstrate improved RGB-D NVS and camera-pose estimation relative to prior methods.

The gist
Creating accurate 3D images from many pictures can be tricky because overlapping parts and camera mistakes cause visual errors. The authors developed VoxelTTO, a method that builds 3D scenes by grouping image data into cubes (voxels) instead of tying features directly to pixels, which reduces errors. It also fine-tunes some parts during testing to fix camera angle mistakes without changing the whole system. Their approach makes the 3D images clearer and camera positions more precise compared to older methods.

Given multiple input images, we predict a point cloud in canonical space, deterministically inject the predicted geometry into the diffusion process through noise inversion, and modulate the resulting noise to preserve the generative flexibility required to complete unobserved regions and refine visible geometry.

The gist
Creating 3D shapes from multiple pictures is a tricky job because the computer has to guess parts it can't see. The authors present a way to guide this process by predicting a rough 3D shape first and then mixing that knowledge carefully into a generative method that normally produces random results. This helps the computer keep the important parts from the pictures while still being creative to fill in missing details. Their method lets the 3D shapes look more accurate and realistic.
