Text guided 3D scene editing provides an intuitive interface for modifying reconstructed environments, but remains difficult because natural language design requests are often semantically underspecified and must be grounded in cluttered 3D scenes. Existing methods typically formulate the task as one-shot conditional generation from a single prompt, failing to resolve ambiguous user intents or achieve precise spatial grounding. Consequently, they suffer from severe object localization drift, tracking failure under occlusions, and the notorious multi-view "sticker effect." To overcome these limitations, we present DesignAgent3D, an interactive multimodal agentic framework that reformulates 3D scene editing as a designer-like Plan-Perceive-Act paradigm. The agent first plans by interacting with the user to clarify underspecified design goals, then perceives by grounding the intended edit to specific objects or regions in the 3D scene, and finally acts by applying controlled visual modifications while preserving scene consistency. The edits are further integrated into the underlying 3D representation, supporting persistent and multi-view consistent novel-view rendering. Extensive experiments across both NeRF and 3D Gaussian Splatting backbones demonstrate that DesignAgent3D significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, delivering superior semantic intent alignment, impeccable spatial localization accuracy, and high-fidelity multi-view consistency.
Deep learning-driven representations such as neural radiance fields (NeRFs) and 3D Gaussian splatting (3DGS) have revolutionized the field of dynamic 3D scene reconstruction with improved visual precision and scalability. However, the reconstruction of fast-moving objects remains a challenge; existing methods based on conventional frame-based videos often struggle in scenarios such as sports events and animal videography. We propose an event-RGB fusion Gaussian splatting (ERF-GS) framework that integrates event information into both optimization and densification stages of the Gaussian splatting pipeline, taking advantage of novel event sensors with high frame-rate. Unlike many other event-assisted scene reconstruction methods, ERF-GS was developed using realistic simulation settings and realizes event-based learning detached from RGB inputs. This design enables its application beyond straightforward synthetic data into the realm of natural video with complex layout, low frame rates and severe motion blur. Our experiments show that ERF-GS outperforms both the 4DGS baseline and the concurrent E-D3DGS on different variants of the Neu3D and Nvidia datasets which include blurry RGB frames and disjoint RGB-event viewpoints. Our code is available at https://github.com/andrewbxy/ERF-GS.
We study sinusoidal recurrence as an iterative mechanism for harmonic spectral enrichment in implicit neural representations (INRs). Our analysis reveals that sinusoidal activations induce a harmonic line spectrum, providing a spectral account of how recurrent unrolling enriches the effective spectral support. We realize this principle with a shared sinusoidal block that iteratively refines the latent representation. We empirically validate the resulting spectral behavior against feed-forward INRs, non-sinusoidal recurrent variants, and equilibrium-style sinusoidal models. Complementing this analysis, we evaluate the proposed architecture across image and 3D representation tasks. On RGB image benchmarks, our method achieves higher fidelity than feed-forward baselines with fewer parameters and fewer optimization steps, and it further transfers favorably to super-resolution, NeRF, and SDF tasks.
Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) for 3D generation is now established across a number of works, but most existing pipelines optimise explicit surface representations, often by converting radiance fields into meshes and training heavily on surface-supervised data. We instead fine-tune a pretrained 3D-aware generative model directly from a learned reward over radiance-field density ($σ$) values, with no externally supplied mesh or shape prior. The reward model requires no pretraining, trains easily on a small set of preference samples, and yields robust improvement in 3D geometry. Working on an unconditional 3D-aware face GAN (EG3D), our reward reads the continuous 3D density field of the neural radiance field (NeRF) directly and supplies a geometry-only learning signal, requiring neither text conditioning, mesh extraction, nor multi-view rendering. A density-consistency constraint keeps the 2D appearance qualitatively similar while the geometry is reshaped, at a measurable but bounded distributional cost (FID-50k rises from 4.09 to 6.66): the fine-tuned generator, trained from the preferences of a single annotator as a proof of concept, produces face geometries preferred by users in 74.4% of pairwise comparisons.
Sparse novel view synthesis (NVS) remains challenging due to the ambiguity of recovering 3D geometry from few input views. While NeRF- and Gaussian Splatting (GS)-based methods perform well with dense supervision, they often overfit in sparse settings, producing floating artifacts and inconsistent geometry. Silhouette consistency is commonly used as a regularizer, but it remains insufficient, as silhouette-consistent regions can extend beyond the true object geometry. We introduce VisDom, a learning-free geometric constraint that augments classical carving-based visual hull reconstruction by enforcing a minimum multi-view visibility requirement. Specifically, we define a visible domain as the subset of 3D space observed by at least $K$ views and use it as an additional filtering criterion on top of standard silhouette-based reconstruction. This provides a stronger spatial prior in sparse-view settings. We integrate VisDom into both implicit (NeRF) and explicit (GS) pipelines by restricting volumetric sampling and guiding Gaussian placement during optimization. Experiments on three challenging datasets show consistent improvements in sparse-view NVS, enabling high-quality object-centric reconstruction from as few as four input images. Our method is domain-agnostic, requires only silhouettes, and introduces no learned parameters, making it a simple complement to existing approaches. Applying VisDom on top of GaussianObject further improves performance on Omni3D and MipNeRF360, while matching or surpassing it at 22 $\times$ lower training cost.
Neural radiance field (NeRF) and 3D Gaussian splatting (3DGS) are two mainstream approaches for novel view synthesis. They often show complementary performance, i.e., 3DGS demonstrating faster rendering speed and NeRF demonstrating higher rendering quality. Motivated by this, we propose leveraging NeRF-rendered images for 3DGS. Specifically, we target street scenes and utilize a pre-trained street-specific NeRF method to produce training images for a target 3DGS method. In our 3DGS training, NeRF-rendered images are used to remove transient objects in street-level input views and to generate bird's-eye views as additional views, inheriting the higher-quality rendering of NeRF into 3DGS. We further incorporate a diffusion-based image enhancement to improve the image quality of the additional views. Experimental results on one synthetic and two real datasets demonstrate that our proposed method improves street-scene rendering while preserving the speed of 3DGS and the quality of NeRF.
Video snapshot compressive imaging (SCI) enables the reconstruction of dynamic scenes from a single snapshot measurement. Recently, NeRF-based methods have shown promising reconstruction performance. However, such methods typically adopt random ray sampling strategies and fail to capture content structural similarities, resulting in limited reconstruction quality. To address these issues, we first propose a patch-level ray sampling strategy to enable the modeling of content structure. Then, we propose an Inter- and Intra-Ray Transformer (RayFormer) to capture the structural similarities, modeling both inter-ray similarities among spatially neighboring points at the same depth and intra-ray correlations between adjacent points along the viewing ray. Finally, benefiting from the patch-level sampling strategy, the total variation prior is incorporated into the objective function to enhance spatial smoothness and suppress artifacts. Experiments in both simulated and real-world scenes demonstrate that the proposed method achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) reconstruction performance.
