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.

Spatial intelligence is essential for low-altitude unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) perception, collaboration, and navigation. However, existing UAV benchmarks often emphasize image-level recognition, single-view understanding, or narrow answer formats, leaving 3D spatial inference, multi-view collaboration, scene dynamics, and diverse task formulations insufficiently evaluated. To address these gaps, we introduce SpatialUAV, a real low-altitude UAV benchmark comprising 4,331 curated instances across 14 fine-grained task types, covering semantic discrimination, spatial relation, aerial--aerial collaboration, aerial--ground collaboration, and motion understanding. SpatialUAV organizes all samples into a unified visual-input--question--answer schema, while supporting seven input configurations and nine answer formats, including option labels, region identifiers, geometric values, cross-view correspondences, and free-form motion descriptions. To ensure reliable and grounded evaluation, our data construction pipeline integrates detector-assisted regions, depth supervision, metadata-derived rules, extensive manual annotation, blind filtering, and multi-turn human validation, together with task-specific metrics for heterogeneous outputs. Evaluating representative vision-language models across three categories, we show that current models remain far from human-level performance, with pronounced bottlenecks in cross-view association, structured grounding, geometric reasoning, and temporal viewpoint understanding. These results offer empirical guidance for advancing low-altitude UAV spatial intelligence. Code and data are available at https://github.com/Hyu-Zhang/SpatialUAV.
