Achieving sharp 3D reconstruction from motion-blurred images alone becomes challenging, motivating recent methods to incorporate event cameras, benefiting from microsecond temporal resolution. However, they suffer from residual artifacts and blurry texture details due to misleading supervision from inaccurate event double integral priors and noisy, blurry events. In this study, we propose EvFlow-GS, a unified framework that leverages event streams and optical flow to optimize an end-to-end learnable double integral (LDI), camera poses, and 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) jointly on-the-fly. Specifically, we first extract edge information from the events using optical flow and then formulate a novel event-based loss applied separately to different modules. Additionally, we exploit a novel event-residual prior to strengthen the supervision of intensity changes between images rendered from 3DGS. Finally, we integrate the outputs of both 3DGS and LDI into a joint loss, enabling their optimization to mutually facilitate each other. Experiments demonstrate the leading performance of our EvFlow-GS.

Gaussian Splatting (GS) has emerged as an efficient approach for high-quality novel view synthesis. While early GS variants struggled to accurately model the scene's geometry, recent advancements constraining the Gaussians' spread and shapes, such as 2D Gaussian Splatting, have significantly improved geometric fidelity. In this paper, we present Pixel-Aligned 1DoF Gaussian Splatting (PAGaS) that adapts the GS representation from novel view synthesis to the multi-view stereo depth task. Our key contribution is modeling a pixel's depth using one-degree-of-freedom (1DoF) Gaussians that remain tightly constrained during optimization. Unlike existing approaches, our Gaussians' positions and sizes are restricted by the back-projected pixel volumes, leaving depth as the sole degree of freedom to optimize. PAGaS produces highly detailed depths, as illustrated in Figure 1. We quantitatively validate these improvements on top of reference geometric and learning-based multi-view stereo baselines on challenging 3D reconstruction benchmarks.

Wide Field-of-View (WFoV) reconstruction enhances 3D ultrasound imaging by providing valuable anatomical context for segmentation models and visualization. Clinical ultrasound volumes are predominantly acquired using convex probes, which generate expanding, diverging acoustic beams to maximize anatomical coverage. Stitching these sweeps together traditionally introduces significant compounding artifacts and aliasing due to depth-dependent resolution changes. Here, we introduce Ultra-Wide-NeRF, a Multivariate 3D Gaussian (MVG) NeRF-based method for WFoV ultrasound reconstruction. By explicitly modeling the complex beam geometry using distance-dependent convex volumetric sampling and anisotropic 3D Gaussians, our method inherently mitigates these compounding artifacts and provides anti-aliasing. Beyond simply reconstructing a static 3D grid, our NeRF-based approach yields a continuous neural representation of the tissue, enabling the synthesis of high-fidelity novel views from arbitrary virtual trajectories. We validate Ultra-Wide-NeRF for intracardiac echocardiography on phantom and porcine datasets, demonstrating that our method expands the spatial context important in intraoperative navigation. Code will be open-sourced upon publication.

Full 360$^\circ$ novel view synthesis under low-light conditions remains challenging. Insufficient illumination, noise amplification, and view-dependent photometric inconsistencies prevent existing methods from jointly preserving geometric consistency and photorealism. Unsupervised approaches often exhibit color drift under large viewpoint variations, while supervised low-light enhancement models, though effective for 2D tasks, struggle to generalize to new scenes and typically require retraining. To address this issue, we propose MERID-GS, a Multi-Scale Explicit Retinex Illumination-Decoupled Gaussian framework for low-light 360$^\circ$ synthesis. Based on Retinex theory, the method explicitly separates illumination and reflectance, and suppresses noise propagation while enhancing dark-region structures via a learnable gain and Illumination-State-Guided Frequency Gating. Combined with lightweight Reflection Head and 3D Gaussian Splatting, MERID-GS adapts to new scenes with only a few shots and enables stable low-light novel view synthesis from sparse-view observations. In addition, we construct a low-light multi-view dataset covering full 360$^\circ$ scenes for joint evaluation. Thorough experiments across multiple datasets in this area demonstrate that MERID-GS achieves SOTA performance, exhibiting superior cross-scene generalization and view consistency. The source code and pre-trained models are available at https://github.com/YhuoyuH/MERID-GS..

Egocentric video provides a unique view into human perception and interaction, with growing relevance for augmented reality, robotics, and assistive technologies. However, rapid camera motion and complex scene dynamics pose major challenges for 3D reconstruction from this perspective. While 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has become a state-of-the-art method for efficient, high-quality novel view synthesis, variants, that focus on reconstructing dynamic scenes from monocular video are rarely evaluated on egocentric video. It remains unclear whether existing models generalize to this setting or if egocentric-specific solutions are needed. In this work, we evaluate dynamic monocular 3DGS models on egocentric and exocentric video using paired ego-exo recordings from the EgoExo4D dataset. We find that reconstruction quality is consistently lower in egocentric views. Analysis reveals that the difference in reconstruction quality, measured in peak signal-to-noise ratio, stems from the reconstruction of static, not dynamic, content. Our findings underscore current limitations and motivate the development of egocentric-specific approaches, while also highlighting the value of separately evaluating static and dynamic regions of a video.

This work presents GS-DOT, a novel image reconstruction framework based on Gaussian Splatting (GS) for diffuse optical tomography (DOT). Inspired by GS for rendering applications, absorption coefficients are represented as a sparse sum of anisotropic Gaussian primitives optimized to fit measured time-resolved point-spread functions through analytic gradients and Adam optimization. This is the first adaptation of GS algorithms in the photon diffusion regime, where the ray transport function is replaced by the diffusion functions to enable accurate modeling of light transport in highly scattering media. Validation on synthetic tissue models demonstrate high accuracy in localization and quantification of reconstructed absorption maps for both clean and noisy signals. GS-DOT has demonstrated high robustness to noise and showed a huge reduction in memory demand.

Reconstructing realistic underwater scenes from underwater video remains a meaningful yet challenging task in the multimedia domain. The inherent spatiotemporal degradations in underwater imaging, including caustics, flickering, attenuation, and backscattering, frequently result in inaccurate geometry and appearance in existing 3D reconstruction methods. While a few recent works have explored underwater degradation-aware reconstruction, they often address either spatial or temporal degradation alone, falling short in more real-world underwater scenarios where both types of degradation occur. We propose MarineSTD-GS, a novel 3D Gaussian Splatting-based framework that explicitly models both temporal and spatial degradations for realistic underwater scene reconstruction. Specifically, we introduce two paired Gaussian primitives: Intrinsic Gaussians represent the true scene, while Degraded Gaussians render the degraded observations. The color of each Degraded Gaussian is physically derived from its paired Intrinsic Gaussian via a Spatiotemporal Degradation Modeling (SDM) module, enabling self-supervised disentanglement of realistic appearance from degraded images. To ensure stable training and accurate geometry, we further propose a Depth-Guided Geometry Loss and a Multi-Stage Optimization strategy. We also construct a simulated benchmark with diverse spatial and temporal degradations and ground-truth appearances for comprehensive evaluation. Experiments on both simulated and real-world datasets show that MarineSTD-GS robustly handles spatiotemporal degradations and outperforms existing methods in novel view synthesis with realistic, water-free scene appearances.

Precisely modeling radio propagation in dynamic wireless environments is fundamental to the realization of wireless digital twins. Traditional ray tracing methods rely on accurate 3D models with detailed environment parameters, while recent neural radiance field approaches learn representations tied to specific static scenes, requiring retraining when environments change. In this paper, we propose RadTwin, a generalizable wireless digital twin framework that explicitly conditions on scene geometry, enabling adaptation to dynamic environments without retraining. RadTwin comprises three key components: 1) a scenario representation network that extracts high-level latent scene features from point clouds, 2) an electromagnetic ray tracing module that computes physics-informed sparse attention masks identifying voxels that physically contribute signals toward each query direction, and 3) a neural propagation decoder that aggregates relevant scene features through masked cross-attention to learn how radio propagation behaves within the given scene geometry. We evaluate RadTwin on a customized dataset of indoor scenes with varying furniture arrangements. Experimental results show that RadTwin achieves 31.6% higher SSIM (0.846 vs. 0.643) and 91.96% lower LPIPS (0.023 vs. 0.286) compared to NeRF2. RadTwin further demonstrates superior cross-scale performance and high generalization and data efficiency, representing a significant advancement toward practical digital network twins for dynamic wireless environments.

We propose a neural regularization method that refines the noisy 3D semantic field produced by lifting multi-view inconsistent 2D features, in order to obtain an accurate and robust 3D semantic Gaussian Splatting. The 2D features extracted from vision foundation models suffer from multi-view inconsistency due to a lack of cross-view constraints. Lifting these inconsistent features directly into 3D Gaussians results in a noisy semantic field, which degrades the performance of downstream tasks. Previous methods either focus on obtaining consistent multi-view features in the preprocessing stage or aim to mitigate noise through improved optimization strategies, often at the cost of increased preprocessing time or expensive computational overhead. In contrast, we introduce a variance-aware conditional MLP that operates directly on the 3D Gaussians, leveraging their geometric and appearance attributes to correct semantic errors in 3D space. Experiments on different datasets show that our method enhances the accuracy of lifted semantics, providing an efficient and effective approach to robust 3D semantic Gaussian Splatting.

Handling the dynamic environments is a significant research challenge in Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). Recent research combines 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) with SLAM to achieve both robust camera pose estimation and photorealistic renderings. However, using SLAM to efficiently reconstruct both static and dynamic regions remains challenging. In this work, we propose an efficient framework for dynamic 3DGS SLAM guided by optical flow. Using the input depth and prior optical flow, we first propose a category-agnostic motion mask generation strategy by fitting a camera ego-motion model to decompose the optical flow. This module separates dynamic and static Gaussians and simultaneously provides flow-guided camera pose initialization. We boost the training speed of dynamic 3DGS by explicitly modeling their temporal centers at keyframes. These centers are propagated using 3D scene flow priors and are dynamically initialized with an adaptive insertion strategy. Alongside this, we model the temporal opacity and rotation using a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) to adaptively learn the complex dynamics. The empirical results demonstrate our state-of-the-art performance in tracking, dynamic reconstruction, and training efficiency.
