Generalizable NGP-SR: Generalizable Neural Radiance Fields Super-Resolution via Neural Graph Primitives

3D super-resolution (3DSR) aims to reconstruct high-resolution (HR) 3D scenes from low-resolution (LR) multi-view images. Existing methods rely on dense LR inputs and per-scene optimization, which restricts the high-frequency priors for constructing HR 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) to those inherited from pretrained 2D super-resolution (2DSR) models. This severely limits reconstruction fidelity, cross-scene generalization, and real-time usability. We propose to reformulate 3DSR as a direct feed-forward mapping from sparse LR views to HR 3DGS representations, enabling the model to autonomously learn 3D-specific high-frequency geometry and appearance from large-scale, multi-scene data. This fundamentally changes how 3DSR acquires high-frequency knowledge and enables robust generalization to unseen scenes. Specifically, we introduce SR3R, a feed-forward framework that directly predicts HR 3DGS representations from sparse LR views via the learned mapping network. To further enhance reconstruction fidelity, we introduce Gaussian offset learning and feature refinement, which stabilize reconstruction and sharpen high-frequency details. SR3R is plug-and-play and can be paired with any feed-forward 3DGS reconstruction backbone: the backbone provides an LR 3DGS scaffold, and SR3R upscales it to an HR 3DGS. Extensive experiments across three 3D benchmarks demonstrate that SR3R surpasses state-of-the-art (SOTA) 3DSR methods and achieves strong zero-shot generalization, even outperforming SOTA per-scene optimization methods on unseen scenes.

Neural radiance field (NeRF) and 3D Gaussian splatting (3DGS) are two mainstream approaches for novel view synthesis. They often show complementary performance, i.e., 3DGS demonstrating faster rendering speed and NeRF demonstrating higher rendering quality. Motivated by this, we propose leveraging NeRF-rendered images for 3DGS. Specifically, we target street scenes and utilize a pre-trained street-specific NeRF method to produce training images for a target 3DGS method. In our 3DGS training, NeRF-rendered images are used to remove transient objects in street-level input views and to generate bird's-eye views as additional views, inheriting the higher-quality rendering of NeRF into 3DGS. We further incorporate a diffusion-based image enhancement to improve the image quality of the additional views. Experimental results on one synthetic and two real datasets demonstrate that our proposed method improves street-scene rendering while preserving the speed of 3DGS and the quality of NeRF.

Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) achieve high-quality novel-view synthesis, but their long training times and reliance on dense input views limit accessibility. We present a comparative study of three accelerated NeRF variants - DS-NeRF, TensoRF, and HashNeRF and explore extensions targeted at the low-compute, low-data regime. First, we add a depth-supervision loss derived from COLMAP keypoints to TensoRF (TensoRF-DS) and evaluate it on the LLFF dataset under reduced view counts. Second, we ablate the feature-decoding MLP of TensoRF and study the effect of input downsampling on PSNR and runtime on the synthetic Lego scene. Third, we propose four architectural variants of the HashNeRF color and density networks, including residual and convolutional designs, and report PSNR/training-time tradeoffs under matched iteration budgets. Under iso-time evaluation, none of our extensions conclusively outperform the published baselines, but the experiments characterize which extensions transfer to constrained settings and surface design questions for future work.
