TranSplat: Generalizable 3D Gaussian Splatting from Sparse Multi-View Images with Transformers

Chuanrui Zhang, Yingshuang Zou, Zhuoling Li et al.

Compared with previous 3D reconstruction methods like Nerf, recent Generalizable 3D Gaussian Splatting (G-3DGS) methods demonstrate impressive efficiency even in the sparse-view setting. However, the promising reconstruction performance of existing G-3DGS methods relies heavily on accurate multi-view feature matching, which is quite challenging. Especially for the scenes that have many non-overlapping areas between various views and contain numerous similar regions, the matching performance of existing methods is poor and the reconstruction precision is limited. To address this problem, we develop a strategy that utilizes a predicted depth confidence map to guide accurate local feature matching. In addition, we propose to utilize the knowledge of existing monocular depth estimation models as prior to boost the depth estimation precision in non-overlapping areas between views. Combining the proposed strategies, we present a novel G-3DGS method named TranSplat, which obtains the best performance on both the RealEstate10K and ACID benchmarks while maintaining competitive speed and presenting strong cross-dataset generalization ability. Our code, and demos will be available at: https://xingyoujun.github.io/transplat.

SIMART: Decomposing Monolithic Meshes into Sim-ready Articulated Assets via MLLM

Chuanrui Zhang, Minghan Qin, Yuang Wang et al.

High-quality articulated 3D assets are indispensable for embodied AI and physical simulation, yet 3D generation still focuses on static meshes, leaving a gap in "sim-ready" interactive objects. Most recent articulated object creation methods rely on multi-stage pipelines that accumulate errors across decoupled modules. Alternatively, unified MLLMs offer a single-stage path to joint static asset understanding and sim-ready asset generation. However dense voxel-based 3D tokenization yields long 3D token sequences and high memory overhead, limiting scalability to complex articulated objects. To address this, we propose SIMART, a unified MLLM framework that jointly performs part-level decomposition and kinematic prediction. By introducing a Sparse 3D VQ-VAE, SIMART reduces token counts by 70% vs. dense voxel tokens, enabling high-fidelity multi-part assemblies. SIMART achieves state-of-the-art performance on PartNet-Mobility and in-the-wild AIGC datasets, and enables physics-based robotic simulation.

MuDG: Taming Multi-modal Diffusion with Gaussian Splatting for Urban Scene Reconstruction

Yingshuang Zou, Yikang Ding, Chuanrui Zhang et al.

Recent breakthroughs in radiance fields have significantly advanced 3D scene reconstruction and novel view synthesis (NVS) in autonomous driving. Nevertheless, critical limitations persist: reconstruction-based methods exhibit substantial performance deterioration under significant viewpoint deviations from training trajectories, while generation-based techniques struggle with temporal coherence and precise scene controllability. To overcome these challenges, we present MuDG, an innovative framework that integrates Multi-modal Diffusion model with Gaussian Splatting (GS) for Urban Scene Reconstruction. MuDG leverages aggregated LiDAR point clouds with RGB and geometric priors to condition a multi-modal video diffusion model, synthesizing photorealistic RGB, depth, and semantic outputs for novel viewpoints. This synthesis pipeline enables feed-forward NVS without computationally intensive per-scene optimization, providing comprehensive supervision signals to refine 3DGS representations for rendering robustness enhancement under extreme viewpoint changes. Experiments on the Open Waymo Dataset demonstrate that MuDG outperforms existing methods in both reconstruction and synthesis quality.
