DynActiveGS: Active Gaussian Splatting for Dynamic Scene Reconstruction

Authors: Hongbo DuanPengting LuoChengzhi ZhaoYuanhao ChiangFangming LiuXueqian Wang

Abstract

We present DynActiveGS, a dynamic-aware active reconstruction framework based on 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) for autonomous exploration in dynamic environments. The framework incrementally reconstructs a 3D Gaussian scene representation while suppressing motion-corrupted observations through online uncertainty prediction and uncertainty-weighted Gaussian optimization. A key component of DynActiveGS is the explicit decomposition of uncertainty into structural uncertainty and motion-induced uncertainty, which enables the system to distinguish under-reconstructed static regions from dynamically unreliable areas. Based on these uncertainty fields, DynActiveGS performs dynamic-aware viewpoint selection and dynamic-constrained path planning to favor informative yet stable observations during exploration. The resulting system forms a unified closed-loop pipeline for robust active reconstruction in dynamic scenes. Extensive experiments on challenging dynamic benchmarks demonstrate consistent improvements over existing active reconstruction baselines in reconstruction accuracy, completeness, rendering quality, and exploration efficiency.

PaMoSplat: Part-Aware Motion-Guided Gaussian Splatting for Dynamic Scene Reconstruction

Dynamic scene reconstruction represents a fundamental yet demanding challenge in computer vision and robotics. While recent progress in 3DGS-based methods has advanced dynamic scene modeling, obtaining high-fidelity rendering and accurate tracking in scenarios with substantial, intricate motions remains significantly challenging. To address these challenges, we propose PaMoSplat, a novel dynamic Gaussian splatting framework incorporating part awareness and motion priors. Our approach is grounded in two key observations: 1) Parts serve as primitives for scene deformation, and 2) Motion cues from optical flow can effectively guide part motion. Specifically, PaMoSplat initializes by lifting multi-view segmentation masks into 3D space via graph clustering, establishing coherent Gaussian parts. For subsequent timestamps, we leverage a differential evolutionary algorithm to estimate the rigid motion of these parts using multi-view optical flow cues, providing a robust warm-start for further optimization. Additionally, PaMoSplat introduces an adaptive iteration count mechanism, internal learnable rigidity, and flow-supervised rendering loss to accelerate and optimize the training process. Comprehensive evaluations across diverse scenes, including real-world environments, demonstrate that PaMoSplat delivers superior rendering quality, improved tracking precision, and faster convergence compared to existing methods. Furthermore, it enables multiple part-level downstream applications, such as 4D scene editing.

DSD-GS: Dynamic-Static Decomposition of Gaussian Splatting for Efficient and High-Fidelity Dynamic Scene Reconstruction

Dynamic scene reconstruction and novel view synthesis are fundamental to next-generation visual intelligence applications such as virtual reality, robotics, and digital twins. However, high-fidelity reconstruction of complex, time-varying scenes from arbitrary viewpoints remains a significant challenge. Existing dynamic 3DGS methods suffer from computational inefficiency, since they model all Gaussians as dynamic components. While recent decomposition-based approaches address this issue, they still struggle with degraded reconstruction quality and prolonged training time. To mitigate these limitations, we propose a novel dynamic reconstruction framework built upon an efficient static-dynamic decomposition strategy using a Feed-Forward Gaussian Splatting encoder and an optical flow model. By eliminating redundant computations on static regions, our method achieves state-of-the-art performance, outperforming existing baselines across rendering quality, training and rendering speed, and storage efficiency. Notably, on the Neural 3D dataset, our framework requires only 10 minutes for training and achieves a rendering speed of over 700 FPS on a single NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPU at resolution of 1352x1014. Furthermore, our decomposition strategy eliminates the need for COLMAP preprocessing and enables deterministic initialization, thereby enhancing both efficiency and reproducibility.

GrainGS: Gradient-Decoupled Gaussian Splatting for Efficient Dynamic Novel View Synthesis

Dynamic scene reconstruction with 3D Gaussian Splatting requires a balance between fine-grained motion modeling, structural stability, and compact representation. Existing per-primitive methods provide flexible local deformation but often suffer from redundant primitive growth, while anchor-based methods improve spatial regularity at the cost of suppressing locally varying motion. To address these issues, we present GrainGS, a dynamic Gaussian framework that combines a hierarchical anchor scaffold with per-Gaussian deformation. A static warm-up stage first establishes a time-invariant canonical representation from observations across all timestamps. During joint training, a stop-gradient operation blocks the deformation-mediated gradient pathway to the canonical positions while preserving their direct refinement through the reconstruction objective. Each Gaussian then predicts independent temporal offsets for position, rotation, and scale, enabling detailed local motion within a structurally constrained scaffold. A canonical-residual appearance decomposition further models frame-dependent photometric changes without forcing them into geometric deformation. Experiments on synthetic monocular and real-world multiview benchmarks show that GrainGS achieves high reconstruction quality, real-time novel view synthesis, and compact storage. Under the synthetic benchmark setting, it reaches an average peak signal-to-noise ratio of 36.98 decibels, renders at 435.6 frames per second, and requires 4.67 megabytes of storage.
