DimFlow: Bidirectional Grid-Expert Learning for Dynamic Gaussian 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.

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.

We introduce a probabilistic splat-based radiance field framework that retains the fast rasterization and test-time efficiency of 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) while replacing heuristic primitive manipulation with gradient-based optimization of a volumetric probability density. Rather than relocating, splitting, or culling Gaussians via hand-tuned densification (e.g., ADC), we treat primitive locations as samples drawn from a persistent, learnable density. We instantiate this density using a novel, memory-efficient multi-scale hierarchical grid that enables end-to-end gradient-based optimization. To stabilize the optimization, we derive an unbiased gradient estimator with control variates that markedly reduces variance. By allowing probability mass to flow to where the loss demands, our framework eliminates brittle priors and naturally explores the volume, achieving state-of-the-art reconstruction quality on mip-NeRF 360 while preserving 3DGS-level rendering speed.
