Abstract

Novel-view synthesis of dynamic scenes, crucial for AR/VR applications, remains a challenging problem. Recent methods adapt representations like 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) and Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) for dynamic scenes by incorporating time as the fourth dimension (4D representations). These 4D representations still suffer from aliasing artifacts, especially when generating novel views from divergent viewpoints (zoom-in/zoom-out operations). While using 3D smoothing filters like those proposed in Mip-Splatting might seem like a possible solution, they fail to account for local motion and also exhibit aliasing. To address this, we propose a motion-aware 3D smoothing filter specifically designed for 4D representations. Our approach adapts the filter strength based on local motion information, effectively mitigating aliasing without compromising rendering quality. This is achieved by estimating the joint density function of time and focal-to-depth ratio using a non-parametric estimation method. During inference, we sample from this joint distribution to determine the appropriate smoothing filter. This flexible strategy can be integrated with various 4D representations. Our evaluations on standard datasets demonstrate superior performance compared to state-of-the-art methods.

FAST-GS: Frequency Aware Space-time Gaussian Splatting for Photorealistic Dynamic Novel View Synthesis

4D Gaussian Splatting (4DGS) excels in dynamic 3D reconstruction and real-time novel view synthesis via efficient 4D Gaussian representations and parallelizable rendering. However, existing 4DGS approaches rely on a single polynomial to model motion, which limits performance in complex dynamic scenes where high-frequency motion components are prevalent, and fails to ensure long-term stability due to cumulative trajectory drift. To address these issues, we propose a Fourier Motion Modeling module: this paradigm decomposes motion into frequency-based sinusoidal components, capturing both low-frequency global trajectories and high-frequency local details to model complex motion patterns accurately. It retains the real-time rendering capability of 4DGS while improving complex motion fitting and long-term coherence. Additionally, we integrate a motion-aware regularization strategy into the loss function: it uses frequency-dependent weights to suppress high-frequency jitter while preserving low-frequency motion coherence. Extensive experiments on N3V and Google Immersive datasets from multiple scenarios demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.

FillGS: Filling Observation Gaps in 4D Gaussian Splatting via Viewpoint-Time Selection and Generative Refinement

4D Gaussian Splatting (4DGS) can render dynamic scenes photorealistically. However, with limited viewpoint coverage, some spatiotemporal regions remain sparsely observed, leading to artifacts, particularly in scenes with large motion. Existing approaches leveraging generative models rely on heuristic virtual-viewpoint selection before refining rendered views. As a result, they cannot actively explore such sparsely observed regions. To address this issue, we propose a pipeline that actively selects spatiotemporal virtual viewpoints to improve 4DGS reconstruction. Our method selects virtual viewpoints for generative enhancement based on the rendering sensitivity and motion-aware observation density of 4D Gaussians, prioritizing views that alleviate observation sparsity. In the refined images, we filter out regions that conflict with captured observations or are likely to contain generative artifacts and then fine-tune 4DGS using only the reliable regions. We evaluate our method on multi-view video benchmarks using new train/test splits designed to induce observation gaps. Results show consistent improvements over prior viewpoint selection strategies and fine-tuning methods in both qualitative and quantitative evaluations, while reducing artifacts.

Unified Panoramic-Gaussian Representation for Monocular 4D Scene Synthesis

4D scene synthesis from monocular videos has made significant progress in recent years. However, existing methods are typically constrained by view interpolation. As a result, they struggle to infer unseen regions beyond the observed views. In this paper, we reformulate the task as 4D scene synthesis with unseen regions, which extends beyond traditional interpolation settings. Camera-conditioned video generation enables unseen region synthesis by guiding generation along specified cameras. However, these methods lack explicit 3D priors and are optimized with random camera trajectories. This design leads to severe inconsistencies under large trajectory deviations. To address this limitation, we build a unified training and inference framework with panoramic trajectory guidance. While this design improves cross-view consistency, the panoramic representation alone fails to model dynamic content effectively. Object motion in panoramic space introduces scale and shape distortions. To address this, we propose PanoGaussian, a unified Panoramic-Gaussian representation that distills the panoramic representation into an explicit dynamic Gaussian representation to capture dynamic physical priors of the 4D scene. Experiments demonstrate that PanoGaussian achieves consistent 4D scene synthesis even under large viewpoint variations.
