World from Motion: Generative Dynamic Gaussian Reconstruction from Monocular Video

Dynamic scene reconstruction from monocular video remains a fundamental challenge in computer vision. Existing feed-forward methods predict 3D Gaussians pixel-wise for each frame, suffering from duplicated Gaussians and view-dependent biases that hinder effective learning of scene motion. We present C4G, a feed-forward 4D reconstruction framework built upon a compact set of timestamp-conditioned learnable Gaussian query tokens. Each token aggregates corresponding features across the full temporal context and decodes a 3D Gaussian whose position is modulated by the target timestamp, enabling globally coherent motion modeling without per-scene optimization. To capture fine-grained details, we further introduce a video diffusion model-based rendering enhancement module. Since our framework effectively aggregates features into Gaussians, we extend this capability to feature lifting, producing a 4D feature field that supports point tracking and dynamic scene understanding. C4G achieves strong novel-view synthesis performance using significantly fewer Gaussians and without requiring camera poses, while exhibiting stronger motion modeling and robustness to large temporal gaps.

Reconstructing dynamic 3D scenes from monocular videos is a fundamental yet highly challenging task, as real-world motions often involve both long-term smooth transformations and short-term complex deformations. Existing methods either struggle to maintain temporal consistency or fail to capture high-frequency dynamics due to limited motion modeling capacity. In this work, we present Rigid-aware 4D Gaussian Splatting (RiGS), which simultaneously captures motions across multiple temporal scales. Specifically, RiGS introduces three types of Gaussian primitives: static, rigid, and transient, which represent static backgrounds, long-term low-frequency motions, and short-term high-frequency dynamics, respectively. An object-wise dynamic mask is proposed to aggregate long-range spatiotemporal motion information and guide the decomposition of static and dynamic regions. To jointly model motion across scales, rigid Gaussians are allowed to transition into transient Gaussians based on their temporal duration, and both are optimized under scene flow guidance, providing dense 3D motion supervision. Extensive experiments demonstrate that RiGS achieves state-of-the-art performance on novel view synthesis benchmarks.

Reconstructing dynamic human-scene environments from monocular videos is a challenging problem that requires jointly modeling scene geometry, camera motion, and non-rigid human dynamics while enabling photorealistic rendering. Recent feed-forward methods can efficiently predict geometry, but they are often limited to non-photorealistic representations such as point clouds and meshes, or they fail to handle non-rigid objects, particularly dynamic humans. To fill this gap, we present GUSH3R (Gaussian-Unified Scene Human 3D Reconstruction), a feed-forward framework for online dynamic human-scene reconstruction. From a monocular human-scene video, our method reconstructs dynamic humans (everyone) and static scenes (everywhere) in a single forward pass (all at once) as 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) primitives (as gaussians), which are geometrically consistent and capable of novel view synthesis. Experiments on monocular human-scene datasets demonstrate that our approach achieves competitive novel view synthesis quality while significantly improving inference efficiency compared to optimization-based methods.
