Recent extensions of 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) enable real-time novel view synthesis in dynamic scenes by learning time-conditioned Gaussian deformations. However, existing MLP-based methods typically estimate deformations independently at each timestamp, making them less robust to large or abrupt motions. To address this issue, we propose \textbf{EvoGS}, a 3DGS-based dynamic reconstruction framework that models Gaussian deformation as a temporal evolution process. EvoGS maintains persistent deformation states for each Gaussian, extrapolates future states from historical deformation states, and corrects the predictions with MLP-derived observations. The correction is adaptively weighted using a temporal residual memory and evolution statistics such as deformation velocity and trajectory deviation. To further improve reconstruction quality, EvoGS introduces deformation-aware densification. Clone and split operations are performed along corrected deformation directions, while an uncertainty-aware strategy suppresses densification for Gaussians with unstable deformation histories. Experiments show that EvoGS improves dynamic novel view synthesis quality and achieves competitive performance across benchmarks.
Dynamic scene reconstruction with 3D Gaussian Splatting requires a balance between fine-grained motion modeling, structural stability, and compact representation. Existing per-primitive methods provide flexible local deformation but often suffer from redundant primitive growth, while anchor-based methods improve spatial regularity at the cost of suppressing locally varying motion. To address these issues, we present GrainGS, a dynamic Gaussian framework that combines a hierarchical anchor scaffold with per-Gaussian deformation. A static warm-up stage first establishes a time-invariant canonical representation from observations across all timestamps. During joint training, a stop-gradient operation blocks the deformation-mediated gradient pathway to the canonical positions while preserving their direct refinement through the reconstruction objective. Each Gaussian then predicts independent temporal offsets for position, rotation, and scale, enabling detailed local motion within a structurally constrained scaffold. A canonical-residual appearance decomposition further models frame-dependent photometric changes without forcing them into geometric deformation. Experiments on synthetic monocular and real-world multiview benchmarks show that GrainGS achieves high reconstruction quality, real-time novel view synthesis, and compact storage. Under the synthetic benchmark setting, it reaches an average peak signal-to-noise ratio of 36.98 decibels, renders at 435.6 frames per second, and requires 4.67 megabytes of storage.
Dynamic scene reconstruction remains challenging due to the heterogeneous and spatially varying nature of real-world motion. Although recent 3D Gaussian Splatting methods have introduced diverse deformation formulations for dynamic novel view synthesis, each method typically relies on a single deformation model within its representation, which limits robustness across diverse dynamic scenarios. In this work, we study a fundamental problem-multi-deformation modeling for dynamic 3D Gaussian representations-under two distinct integration constraints that differ in when and how multiple deformation experts interact during training. From a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) perspective, we view multi-deformation modeling as the problem of combining multiple specialized deformation models within a unified 3D representation. We first introduce Mixture of Deformation Experts (MoDE), which integrates multiple deformation experts directly into the deformable Gaussian Splatting pipeline through joint optimization. In MoDE, experts operate on a shared canonical Gaussian representation, enabling multi-deformation modeling without introducing additional training stages or modifying the original optimization schedule. In contrast, we further present Mixture of Experts for Dynamic Gaussian Splatting (MoE-GS) under a different integration constraint, where deformation experts are optimized independently and combined through a separate routing stage. As a result, expert interaction occurs over non-canonical Gaussian representations after individual optimization. Together, these two approaches provide alternative strategies for multi-deformation modeling, clarifying how integration constraints shape the design and behavior of deformation experts in dynamic 3D Gaussian representations.

Generating realistic human avatars in complex motions--such as clothing dynamics--requires modeling of global and local deformations which remains challenging in monocular settings. We address this problem by leveraging neural Jacobian fields (NJFs) for representing semi-rigid deformations. We train self-supervised neural networks for predicting Jacobian matrices that give the pose-dependent deformations, by solving a Poisson equation. However, monocular input presents several difficulties such as self-occluded regions and invisible surfaces. To address these issues, we introduce three key components: a constrained Poisson solver, signed distance-based Jacobian regularization, and a deformation-guided residual flow loss, which together suppress boundary artifacts, recover frequently occluded regions such as armpits and thighs, and enforce temporal consistency during motion. Experiments on benchmark and in-the-wild videos demonstrate that our method generates temporally stable and geometrically coherent avatars, outperforming state-of-the-art approaches.
Medical image registration benefits significantly from deep learning, yet existing approaches often lack physical explainability and fine-grained deformation control. Motivated by Demons algorithms, we propose a novel DrivenMorph framework that bridges attention mechanisms with variational image registration by incorporating difference modeling as a physically inspired inductive bias. The resulting driving force, computed from local differences in the latent feature space, provides explicit semantic guidance throughout the registration process. It directly drives the registration process through a neural Demons layer that simulates force-displacement interactions to generate smooth and anatomically consistent deformation. Unlike previous methods, our approach not only integrates traditional registration principles with popular deep networks, providing an explainable and efficient solution for learning-based medical image registration, but also separates difference modeling from deformation, improving modularity and explainability. Extensive experiments on multiple 3D brain MRI datasets demonstrate superior performance over state of-the-art learning-based and optimization-based methods. Furthermore, visualizations and statistical analyses confirm that the learned driving force aligns closely with actual deformation patterns, supporting its explanatory value.

3D human avatars have shown impressive visual fidelity driven by pose-conditioned models, yet they still lack the physical ability required for interactions with each other and environments. Although recent studies have made various attempts to incorporate physical characteristics into 3D avatars, they only exhibit limited physical deformations, often leading to constrained interaction behaviors. To resolve this issue, we present PIAvatar, a framework to simultaneously enable physically aware interactions between avatar-avatar and avatar-environment, and a non-rigid deformable human body simulation. In this work, our key insight is to decouple kinematic velocity from deformation gradient. When external forces act on avatars, the kinematic velocity induces stress which hinders the avatar's ability to achieve a desired pose. In addition, we integrate a skeletal framework within the avatar. It allows estimating its poses and real-time tracking in a closed form, even during non-rigid physical interactions. Our approach is implemented within a conventional Material Point Method framework to ensure physically consistent dynamics. We lastly evaluate the method on both human-object and human-human interaction scenarios to assess its behavior under diverse interaction settings.
