Snapshot Compressive Imaging (SCI) offers an efficient solution for high-speed video acquisition and, under exposure-time camera--scene relative motion, multi-view scene capture by compressing temporal or spatial information into a single 2D measurement. While recent studies have explored SCI for 3D scene reconstruction, existing methods struggle with significant challenges due to information loss, limited viewpoint diversity, and the computational burden of jointly optimizing 3D representations and camera poses. In this work, we propose a novel framework that reconstructs high-quality 3D scenes from a single SCI measurement by leveraging 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) and the powerful priors of large-scale vision foundation models (VFMs). Our primary reconstruction combines measurement-derived 3D VFM initialization with SCI-aware Gaussian optimization. After coarse-stage convergence, an auxiliary 2D VFM provides pseudo-view supervision at synthesized viewpoints for local appearance refinement. To further address the instability caused by ambiguous SCI supervision during 3DGS optimization, we introduce Opacity-Guided Splitting and Growth Regulation (OSGR), an SCI-specific densification strategy that augments split candidates using local opacity statistics, discourages loss-compensating opacity inflation through mean-opacity regulation, and bounds representation growth with explicit candidate-ratio and Gaussian-count constraints. Extensive experiments across multiple benchmarks demonstrate that our method achieves the strongest overall performance, combining leading reconstruction quality and robustness to viewpoint variation with competitive computational efficiency.
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.

This paper introduces a fast method for high-quality 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) reconstruction without traditional Structure-from-Motion (SfM). The proposed approach leverages 3D Foundation Models (3DFMs) for camera pose and point-cloud initialization, then jointly optimizes both camera poses and Gaussian primitives using a depth-guided loss function. This enables fast convergence even from rough initialization with as few as 50-60 input views. To further improve reconstruction quality in sparse-view scenarios, an MLP-based pose refinement module is introduced alongside depth-guided supervision from the foundation model. Extensive experiments on Mip-NeRF 360, Tanks and Temples, and RobustNeRF demonstrate that the proposed method achieves competitive reconstruction quality (23.61 dB PSNR, 0.19 LPIPS) while reducing training time to approximately three minutes per scene. The proposed method produces ready-to-use 3DGS models at a fraction of the time required by existing pipelines, making it suitable for near real-time applications in robotics, VR, and autonomous navigation.

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. Project page: https://structsplat.github.io Code: https://github.com/J-C-Zhao/StructSplat
