Generalizable 3D Gaussian Splatting has recently emerged as an efficient approach for novel-view synthesis, enabling feed-forward synthesis from only a few input views. However, existing pixel-wise feed-forward methods suffer from over-bright renderings when the number of input views varies during inference, as well as insufficient supervision for accurate Gaussian scale estimation, which leads to hole artifacts, particularly in high-resolution renderings. To address these issues, we identify that the over-brightness is caused by the varying number of overlapping Gaussians and propose a simple alpha normalization strategy to maintain brightness consistency across different number of input views. In addition, we introduce an auxiliary 3D sampling-based regularizer to improve Gaussian scale estimation, thereby mitigating hole artifacts in high-resolution rendering. Experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that our method significantly improves baseline models under varying input-view and high-resolution rendering settings.
Feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has emerged as a highly effective solution for novel view synthesis. Existing methods predominantly rely on a \emph{pixel-aligned} Gaussian prediction paradigm, where each 2D pixel is mapped to a 3D Gaussian. We rethink this widely adopted formulation and identify several inherent limitations: it renders the reconstructed 3D models heavily dependent on the number of input views, leads to view-biased density distributions, and introduces alignment errors, particularly when source views contain occlusions or low texture. To address these challenges, we introduce VolSplat, a new multi-view feed-forward paradigm that replaces pixel alignment with voxel-aligned Gaussians. By directly predicting Gaussians from a predicted 3D voxel grid, it overcomes pixel alignment's reliance on error-prone 2D feature matching, ensuring robust multi-view consistency. Furthermore, it enables adaptive control over density based on 3D scene complexity, yielding more faithful Gaussians, improved geometric consistency, and enhanced novel-view rendering quality. Experiments on widely used benchmarks demonstrate that VolSplat achieves state-of-the-art performance, while producing more plausible and view-consistent results. The video results, code and trained models are available on our project page: https://lhmd.top/volsplat.
We present ViewSplat, a view-adaptive 3D Gaussian splatting network for novel view synthesis from unposed images. While recent feed-forward 3D Gaussian splatting has significantly accelerated 3D scene reconstruction by bypassing per-scene optimization, a fundamental fidelity gap remains. We attribute this gap to the limited capacity of single-step feed-forward networks to regress static Gaussian primitives that satisfy all viewpoints. To address this limitation, we shift the paradigm from static primitive regression to view-adaptive splatting. Instead of a rigid Gaussian representation, our pipeline learns a view-adaptive latent representation. Specifically, ViewSplat initially predicts base Gaussian primitives alongside the weights of scene-conditioned View MLPs. During rendering, these MLPs take target-view coordinates as input and predict view-dependent residual updates for each Gaussian attribute (i.e., 3D position, scale, rotation, opacity, and color). This mechanism, which we term view-adaptive splatting, allows each primitive to rectify initial estimation errors, effectively capturing high-fidelity appearances. Extensive experiments demonstrate that ViewSplat achieves state-of-the-art fidelity while maintaining fast inference and real-time rendering; our large backbone variant runs at 15 FPS during inference and 90 FPS during rendering.

Pixel-aligned Gaussian splatting enables efficient and generalizable novel-view synthesis. However, high-resolution rendering faces a critical trade-off where increasing input resolution improves detail at the expense of quadratically rising network computational cost. Conversely, maintaining low-resolution inputs stabilizes this cost but results in insufficient Gaussian density and artifacts. To address this, we propose SubSplat, which introduces Sub-pixel Gaussian Reparameterizer(SPGR) to subdivide primary Gaussians into fine-grained primitives, restoring structural density directly from low-resolution features. We further enhance the reparameterization quality through feature aggregation, which effectively captures high-frequency details across multiple views. Experiments on RealEstate10K and ACID demonstrate that SubSplat achieves high-fidelity rendering with superior efficiency. Our results validate that the proposed framework successfully resolves the trade-off between reparameterization fidelity and network computational cost inherent in pixel-aligned Gaussian Splatting.
