QIRF Quantum-Inspired Non-Orthogonal Function-Space Compression for 3D Gaussian Splatting

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) achieves high-quality real-time rendering by representing a scene with a large collection of anisotropic Gaussian primitives. However, complex scenes often require millions of Gaussians, resulting in substantial storage and rendering costs. Existing compression methods mainly reduce redundancy through primitive-wise pruning, attribute quantization, clustering, or neural coding, while redundancy caused by strongly overlapping and non-orthogonal Gaussian basis functions remains largely unexplored. We present QIRF, a quantum-inspired non-orthogonal function-space compression method for 3D Gaussian Splatting. QIRF models neighboring Gaussian primitives as a local non-orthogonal basis and formulates primitive reduction as a subspace-aware selection problem. Specifically, an analytic Gaussian overlap matrix and a radiance-response density matrix are constructed to characterize functional redundancy and rendering relevance. Generalized eigendecomposition is then used to identify the dominant local subspace and select representative Gaussian primitives. An RRDM-based response model and detail-aware safeguarding further preserve visually important high-frequency structures under aggressive pruning. Experiments on 13 scenes from Mip-NeRF 360, Tanks and Temples, and Deep Blending show that QIRF reduces the Gaussian count and raw PLY storage by 71.7 percent on average, corresponding to approximately 3.54 times compression, while maintaining reconstruction quality comparable to 3DGS and achieving a marginal average PSNR improvement of 0.10 dB. QIRF also improves the average rendering speed over 3DGS by 34.3 percent. These results suggest that non-orthogonal function-space redundancy is an important yet underexplored source of representational redundancy in explicit Gaussian radiance fields.

AniGS: Bridging Rendering and Diffusion Prior for 3D Scene Animation

Novel view rendering of large and complex reconstructed scenes is becoming increasingly photorealistic. However, most reconstructions remain static and lack the ambient motion that makes environments immersive. We present AniGS, a method for scene-level animation of 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) reconstructions that adds subtle, distributed dynamics, e.g., vegetation motion, while preserving rigid structures. Unlike existing 3D animation techniques which are limited to object-centric subjects or small regions, AniGS is designed for large, cluttered, navigable scenes. AniGS represents the scene with a canonical 3DGS and models motion using a time-conditioned deformation field. To animate the entire scene, we leverage a pretrained video diffusion model and introduce an iterative dataset–model update strategy that progressively expands viewpoint coverage and repeatedly updates camera-fixed training videos using a render-and-refine scheme. To prevent artifacts from unintended motion in static areas, we further introduce a composed video-to-video refinement scheme that restricts motion to desired regions. Experiments on five real-world, large-scale outdoor scenes demonstrate that AniGS produces natural ambient dynamics and high-quality novel view videos, enabling more immersive viewing experiences of reconstructed environments.

ZeroSplat: Generalized Referring Segmentation in 3D Gaussian Splatting

Recent advancements in 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) have enabled language-guided scene understanding. However, existing Referring 3D Gaussian Splatting (R3DGS) methods are fundamentally restricted to single-target queries. To reflect the ambiguity of real-world instructions, we introduce the Generalized Referring 3D Gaussian Splatting Segmentation (GR3DGS) task, which requires dynamically segmenting an arbitrary number of targets (0, 1, or N). To facilitate comprehensive evaluation of this new task, we construct two new benchmarks: GR-LERF and GR-ScanNet. Crucially, existing R3DGS paradigms exhibit fundamental technical bottlenecks that severely limit their performance on the GR3DGS task: they lack intrinsic 3D point-level understanding by operating merely on 2D rendered pixels, and they incur prohibitive computational overhead by requiring per-scene optimization to embed heavy semantic features. To dismantle these bottlenecks, we propose ZeroSplat, a novel training-free and zero-feature framework. ZeroSplat lifts 2D Vision-Language Model (VLM) priors into 3D space through robust multi-view geometric constraints. This strategy enables intrinsic point-level understanding without incurring any additional feature storage. Extensive experiments demonstrate that ZeroSplat significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods across generalized and single-target scenarios while maintaining exceptional efficiency.

TOM-GS: Editable Video Representation via Temporal Opacity Modulation of Static 3D Gaussians

While Implicit Neural Representations (INRs) and dynamic 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) achieve impressive results in video processing, they often fall short of producing representations that are easily editable. Recent methods address this by introducing complex spatial deformations or folded distributions, which constrain optimization and reduce flexibility for downstream editing. In this paper, we introduce TOM-GS, an editable video representation that forgoes complex deformations in favor of regular 3D Gaussians equipped with a continuous temporal opacity formulation. By assigning a learnable temporal mean and scale to the opacity of each Gaussian, our model enables static 3D spatial components to fade smoothly in and out of the scene. Grounded by robust, off-the-shelf pose estimation, our approach maintains a static spatial geometry that naturally supports a wide range of manual and physics-based edits. TOM-GS outperforms prior editable video representations in visual fidelity, while its reliance on standard 3D Gaussians ensures seamless compatibility with established 3D editing tools.

RealVDeblur: One-Step Diffusion for Generalizable Real-World Video Deblurring

Real-world video deblurring remains challenging due to diverse motion patterns, complex degradations, and the scarcity of realistic training data, yet robust restoration is critical for downstream pipelines such as mobile imaging and 3D reconstruction. This work presents RealVDeblur, an efficient generative framework designed to improve in-the-wild robustness under diverse real capture conditions. First, a large-scale, physically grounded blur synthesis pipeline is constructed from scene-level 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) assets and high-frame-rate videos, providing realistic training data covering both camera-induced and object-motion blur. Second, a video diffusion prior is leveraged for restoration; to better accommodate frame-dependent blur variations, temporal compression in the VAE is disabled and a frame-wise encoding scheme is adopted. For practical deployment on long videos, multi-step diffusion sampling is distilled into an efficient one-step generator, and a training-free Temporal Window Mask stabilizes inference beyond the training horizon with constant memory usage. Extensive experiments on diverse real-world benchmarks demonstrate strong perceptual quality, semantic fidelity, and temporal consistency on unseen videos, as well as improved robustness in downstream 3D reconstruction under severe motion blur.

Visual Relocalization from Sparse Views in Aliased and Low-Texture Environments via Novel View Synthesis

Visual localization becomes extremely challenging in planetary-like terrains characterized by low texture, perceptual aliasing, harsh illumination, and sparse, weakly overlapping viewpoints induced by forward rover motion and unconstrained driving directions. Under these conditions, state-of-the-art image-to-image and image-to-map matching pipelines suffer significant performance degradation. In this work, we propose a visual relocalization method that departs from classical correspondence-based pipelines by directly estimating camera poses against a differentiable map representation built with 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS). Our key contribution is a geometry-aware training strategy that combines photometric and geometric losses, where the geometric supervision is provided for the first time by combining multi-view stereo (MVS) and LiDAR depths. We show that this joint optimization produces a 3DGS model that better fits the underlying scene geometry, leading to improved photometric and geometric consistency and more robust, accurate single-image 6-DoF pose estimation. Extensive experiments on data acquired in planetary-analog environments validate the effectiveness of our approach, showing substantial gains in relocalization accuracy under challenging conditions.

Meshless Domain Randomization via Explicit Parameter Perturbation of 3D Gaussian Splatting

Domain Randomization (DR) is a standard technique for closing the Sim-to-Real gap, yet traditional DR pipelines rely on classical computer graphics rendering driven by polygon meshes. For complex organic subjects, such as insect specimens, extracting and rendering textured meshes is challenging. To address this issue, we propose a meshless DR framework that operates on the parameter space of 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS). Our method employs two independent perturbation pipelines to synthesize randomized training datasets. First, a Photometric DR pipeline alters the baked illumination and color balance by modulating the Spherical Harmonics (SH) coefficients. Second, a Procedural DR pipeline isolates the subject's geometric shape by replacing its original textures with 3D spatial noise. Finally, these perturbed radiance fields are composited over stochastically varied backgrounds using a rasterization engine. Our parameter manipulation provides a meshless alternative for generating robust datasets for complex geometries.

Fashion-3DLR: A Controllable 3D Garment Generation Using Pairwise Fashion Elements for Intelligent Design

AI-generated content (AIGC) has made significant progress, with 2D generative models becoming ready-to-use tools for the digital fashion industry. However, 3D garment generation remains in its nascent stage, where in the realm of fashion, the semantic information of diverse design elements exhibits intricate coupling relationships in 3D representations, posing substantial challenges for generating diverse 3D garments. In this work, to handle the above problem, We introduce Fashion-3DLR, a novel 3D garment generation framework that utilizes diverse design elements to create high-quality, versatile 3D garment assets. Specifically, to bridge the semantic gaps between different fashion elements, we propose a Garment Feature Fusion Diffusion Transformer (GFF-DiT) module to integrate 2D fashion design elements, e.g., sketch and texture, into latent space. Within the latent space, we then employ a rectified flow transformer to generate geometry latents, which can be decoded into various 3D garment representations, including 3D Gaussians and meshes. Furthermore, we integrate Fashion-3DLR into downstream tasks, achieving the 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS)-driven cloth physical simulation and mesh-based virtual try-on. Experimental results indicate that Fashion-3DLR surpass the previous state-of-the-art methods, which verify that the proposed work can generate well-structured, non-watertight garments capable of physical simulation and virtual try-on, underscoring its potential as a versatile 3D garment design tool.

Head Avatars with Dynamic Explicit Hair

We present DynHair, a novel method for tracking and modeling dynamic hair for human head avatars. From video input, we reconstruct a dynamic head avatar with an explicit strand-based hair representation using structured 3D Gaussian Splatting. In contrast to the face region of human head avatars, which can be modeled with 3D Gaussians that are attached or generated with respect to some expressive 3D head model, hair is particularly challenging as it exhibits dynamic motion effects. Therefore, we present a novel method that models the dynamic deformations of the hair strands using a temporal network that is conditioned on angular velocity and acceleration of the head, as well as relative gravity. Specifically, an LSTM encodes the motion history and modulates per-point strand features via FiLM conditioning which further used by MLP to produce physically plausible displacements to canonical hairstyle. We jointly optimize this motion and appearance representation of the hair, with a 3DGS-based representation of the face-region, via differentiable Gaussian splatting with photometric, geometric, and physics-based supervision. As a result of our method, we retrieve hair tracking of the training video data and an animatable head avatar with controllable hair dynamics. In our experiments, we demonstrate state-of-the-art performance in terms of hair dynamics, temporal consistency, and generalization across subjects.

GenSplatCodec: Feed-Forward Gaussian Splatting Compression via One-Step Diffusion

Feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) enables scalable scene reconstruction without per-scene optimization, yet produces dense Gaussians that are costly to store and transmit. Existing feed-forward Gaussian compression methods formulate decoding as deterministic representation recovery, which becomes inadequate at low bitrates when high-frequency textures and view-dependent appearance are discarded. Although generative models offer a promising alternative, using them as standalone post-processing decouples generation from the transmitted scene structure, thereby compromising cross-view consistency. To address these limitations, we propose GenSplatCodec, a unified feed-forward Gaussian codec that reformulates low-bitrate Gaussian compression as geometry-guided generative decoding. We present a detail-aware feed-forward Gaussian coding scheme within a dual-stream formulation, where the resulting compact Gaussian structural stream is complemented by a lightweight reference appearance stream. We further introduce a geometry-guided one-step generative decoding approach that jointly exploits decoded structural and appearance cues through hierarchical geometry control to reconstruct high-fidelity and view-consistent novel views. Finally, we develop a three-stage optimization strategy that stabilizes the learning of the unified codec and adapts the generative decoder to codec-derived structural and appearance cues. Extensive experiments across multiple datasets demonstrate that GenSplatCodec consistently achieves superior rate-distortion (RD) performance over existing methods.

Look Before You Edit: Attention-Guided Camera Placement and Multi-View Alignment for 3D Gaussian Splatting Editing

Text-driven 3D scene editing with 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) typically applies a 2D diffusion editor to views rendered from fixed training cameras, limiting both the spatial coverage of edits and the user's freedom to target specific objects in complex scenes. We present LB-Edit, a framework that addresses two coupled problems: where to place editing cameras for localized edits, and how to make per-view edits agree with one another so that the 3D scene remains consistent after fine-tuning. First, Attention-Guided Editing Camera Placement (ACP) probes the diffusion model's self- and cross-attention at multiple candidate camera distances to find where attention is well-contained in the region of interest, then places a compact, geometrically diverse editing camera set at that attention-optimal distance. Second, Multi-view Attention Alignment (MAA) steers the editor toward the same edit across views along two axes: it aligns appearance by sharing self-attention features via token-level correspondence, and aligns spatial location by lifting cross-attention maps onto the 3D Gaussians as a shared 3D attention field, suppressing both appearance and spatial drift. Experiments on multi-object and single-object scenes show that our method achieves the highest user preference in instruction fidelity, multi-view consistency, and editing locality, using as few as 5 editing views and reducing latency by up to 7x over existing methods.

ATSplat: Compact Feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting with Adaptive Token Expansion

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) achieves high-quality novel-view synthesis by optimizing freely placed primitives in 3D and adaptively densifying them in under-reconstructed regions. However, this scene-adaptive capacity allocation is largely lost in existing feed-forward 3DGS methods, which commonly regress Gaussians at input pixels and lift them along camera rays. Such pixel-aligned formulations make the number and placement of primitives depend on image resolution and input viewpoints rather than scene complexity, resulting in dense and often redundant Gaussian sets. We present ATSplat, a feed-forward 3DGS framework that restores the adaptive allocation capability of 3DGS optimization through Adaptive 3D Tokens. ATSplat first lifts coarse patch-level depth and camera cues into sparse 3D anchor tokens, forming a compact scaffold of the scene. Each token is then regressed into local Gaussians with learnable 3D offsets, decoupling primitive placement from input image grids. An Adaptive Token Expansion module predicts a token-level uncertainty score, supervised by rendering error maps, and selectively expands high-uncertainty tokens through learnable expansion layers. This sparse-to-adaptive formulation enables ATSplat to concentrate primitives in challenging regions while maintaining a compact representation. Experiments on two representative datasets, RealEstate10K and DL3DV, show that ATSplat achieves state-of-the-art rendering quality while reducing the number of Gaussians by more than 5.7× compared with dense feed-forward 3DGS methods. From 12 input images at 512 × 960 resolution, ATSplat completes reconstruction in less than a second using a single commercial GPU, and renders high-quality novel views at 1136 FPS (512 × 960) with only 311K Gaussians.
