We present StructSplat, a feed-forward and generalizable 3D Gaussian reconstruction framework that operates directly on uncalibrated images without requiring camera parameters. Existing methods either rely on per-scene optimization or assume known camera poses, and often entangle geometry and appearance within a unified backbone, limiting reconstruction fidelity and generalization. Our key idea is to adopt a structured representation that organizes geometry, semantic, and texture cues with explicit roles in the reconstruction process. Specifically, we introduce a pixel-aligned feature injection mechanism to enable accurate texture modeling from 2D observations, incorporate semantic-aware priors to improve global consistency, and design a camera alignment strategy to prevent information leakage and improve generalization. Experiments show that our method significantly outperforms prior approaches on challenging benchmarks. On DL3DV, our method achieves 28.045 PSNR, surpassing AnySplat (22.377) by +5.67 dB. In cross-dataset evaluation, our method achieves +1.94 dB over AnySplat on ACID and +1.72 dB on RealEstate10K.

Feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting methods reconstruct a scene from posed or pose-free images in a single forward pass, yet current approaches predict one Gaussian per input pixel, tying the representation budget to camera resolution rather than scene complexity. A flat wall and a richly textured object thus produce equally many Gaussians despite very different geometric needs. We propose ZipSplat, a token-based feed-forward model that decouples Gaussian placement from the pixel grid. A multi-view backbone extracts dense visual tokens, and k-means clustering compresses them into a compact set of scene tokens. Cross- and self-attention refine these tokens, and a lightweight MLP decodes each into a group of Gaussians with unconstrained 3D positions. Because clustering is applied at inference, a single trained model spans the quality-efficiency curve without retraining. ZipSplat operates without ground-truth poses or intrinsics, yet sets a new state of the art on DL3DV and RealEstate10K with ∼6× fewer Gaussians than pixel-aligned methods, surpassing the best pose-free baseline by 2.1dB and 1.2dB PSNR, respectively. It further generalizes zero-shot to Mip-NeRF360 and ScanNet++, outperforming all comparable baselines. Our project page is at https://veichta.com/zipsplat.
Feed-forward Gaussian splatting models have demonstrated remarkable effectiveness in reconstructing three-dimensional (3D) objects from a few two-dimensional (2D) images, even if they are unseen. As existing methods typically predict Gaussian primitives uniformly across the 3D space, most primitives are placed in non-object regions. This may hinder the representation of fine object details. This paper proposes a Voxel-Selective Gaussian Splatting model (VS-Splat), a new end-to-endfeed-forward Gaussian splatting framework that predicts many primitives only within selected voxels that are likely to belong to an object, without 3D structural supervision. To achieve this, we propose a new learnable voxel selection approach that identifies object-centric voxels only with 2D rendering supervision.Our sparse-view rendering experiments with three benchmark datasets show that proposed VS-Splat outperforms several state-of-the-art methods. We further demonstrate its effectiveness as a backbone for an existing densification method and show that anoptional extension improves its robustness to inaccurate camera pose estimates.
We present FlexSplat, a feed-forward framework for novel view synthesis (NVS) from uncalibrated, object-centric multi-view image collections. A recent line of query-based methods reconstructs a compact set of 3D Gaussians by treating them as transformer queries that are refined with multi-view deformable attention; these methods, however, assume that camera poses are given. FlexSplat removes this assumption: a geometry transformer is trained jointly with the Gaussian decoder to predict per-image camera parameters and depth, which in turn ground a depth-guided Gaussian parameterization and a multi-view deformable cross-attention that aggregates evidence across all input views into a single, view-consistent set of primitives. An uncertainty-weighted depth-consistency objective lets the jointly trained geometry adapt to the reconstruction task, while the cross-view consensus formed during decoding absorbs the residual error of the estimated cameras and depth. The representation uses a compact Gaussian budget that is decoupled from the input resolution - unlike pixel-aligned methods, the primitive count does not grow with the image grid - and is not dictated by the number of views. On ShapeNet-SRN and Google Scanned Objects (GSO), FlexSplat matches or approaches posed state-of-the-art reconstructors while requiring neither camera poses nor ground-truth depth, and matches the best perceptual (LPIPS) quality among the compared methods on GSO. Our results indicate that a jointly trained geometry front-end is sufficient to bring calibration-free operation to query-based Gaussian reconstruction while staying within 0.7 dB PSNR of posed methods and matching their perceptual quality.
