3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has revolutionized high-fidelity neural rendering with its explicit representation and efficiency. However, reconstructing scenes from sparse viewpoints suffers from severe geometric voids and floaters due to limited coverage. Current scene completion methods typically rely on an iterative "Repair-then-Distill" paradigm, which is computationally intensive, prone to unstable optimization, and susceptible to overfitting. To address these limitations, we propose GSCompleter, a distillation-free plugin that shifts scene completion to a stable "Generate-then-Register" workflow. Specifically, GSCompleter synthesizes visually plausible 2D reference images and explicitly lifts them into 3D Gaussian primitives with a consistent metric scale via a robust Stereo-Anchor View Selection mechanism. These newly generated primitives are then seamlessly integrated into the global scene using a novel Ray-Constrained Registration strategy. By replacing unstable distillation with rapid geometric registration, GSCompleter exhibits superior 3DGS completion performance across three benchmarks, enhancing both quality and efficiency over various baselines and achieving new state-of-the-art (SOTA) results.
Gaussian splats provide a fast, high-fidelity representation for 3D objects but are often constructed from incomplete input data in practice, leaving missing regions. Existing completion methods either do not preserve the original splats or require scarcely available 3D training data. We propose GSComplete, which combines 3D generation based on Score Distillation Sampling with a novel preservation loss that encourages the original splats to be preserved where they should be visible. This effectively completes the Gaussian splat object using only 2D diffusion priors while fully preserving existing splats and generating new splats only in missing regions, without occluding the input. To evaluate our approach, we introduce a new dataset of partial Gaussian splat objects and show that GSComplete achieves significantly more accurate preservation of the input than existing methods with comparable plausibility of the completed result. Our code and dataset will be made available upon acceptance.

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has emerged as a powerful representation for high-fidelity rendering. However, existing assets often suffer from quality bottlenecks such as missing details and texture noise. Prior attempts to enhance these assets via 2D image processing introduce multi-view inconsistencies and high computational costs. In this paper, we propose a novel 3D-native refinement paradigm named AnchorSplat. AnchorSplat is an end-to-end deep network operating directly on 3D structures, avoiding the expensive optimization overhead of traditional 3D-2D-3D pipelines. Crucially, AnchorSplat is a strictly source-free solution requiring no original multi-view images. Central to the proposed method is the Point Anchor Mechanism, which enforces geometric consistency via local offset constraints, mitigating ill-posed mapping and gradient confounding. Furthermore, AnchorSplat replaces iterative densification with a single-pass multiplication mechanism. To facilitate research, we construct 3DGS-SR, the first large-scale benchmark for this task. Experiments demonstrate state-of-the-art results on the 3DGS-SR dataset, with throughput up to 105 times faster than optimization methods. Notably, AnchorSplat exhibits robust zero-shot generalization across diverse data distributions, including generative model outputs and real-world scans.
We introduce S2C-3D, a novel sparse-view 3D reconstruction framework for high-fidelity and complete scene reconstruction from as few as six to eight images. Our framework features three components: a specialized diffusion model for scene-specific image restoration, a training-free view-consistency conditioned sampling process in the diffusion model for refined Gaussian optimization, and a camera trajectory planning scheme to ensure comprehensive scene coverage. The specialized diffusion model is developed by finetuning a pretrained architecture on the input views and their corresponding degraded counterparts. The adaptation to the scene distribution allows the model to repair Gaussian renderings while effectively eliminating domain gaps. Meanwhile, the trajectory planning scheme optimizes scene coverage by connecting each newly sampled camera to its two nearest neighbors. By iteratively constructing paths and retaining only those that significantly enhance visibility, the scheme establishes a trajectory that covers the entire scene. To address multi-view conflicts, the view-consistency conditioned sampling process quantifies the consistency between neighboring repaired images. This information is injected as a condition into the sampling process of the frozen diffusion model, facilitating the generation of view-consistent images without additional training. Consequently, our approach produces high-fidelity 3D Gaussians that are robust to artifacts. Experimental results demonstrate that S2C-3D outperforms state-of-the-art methods, constructing high-quality scenes that are free from missing regions, blurring, or other artifacts with very sparse inputs.
