SharpSplat: Edge-Regularized 3D Gaussian Splatting for High Fidelity Urban Building Reconstruction from UAV images

Porus Vaid, Shivam Chopra, Vaibhav Kumar

Reconstructing high-fidelity 3D building models from UAV imagery is essential for large-scale digital twin development. However, existing 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) techniques often struggle with building facades, failing to capture sharp geometric transitions. To address this, we propose a semantic edge regularization framework that supervises 3DGS to produce crisp architectural boundaries. Our method leverages SAM 3 to generate precise building masks, from which we extract architecturally significant edges. During training, we align rendered image gradients with these extracted edges, forcing the Gaussians to converge into sharp structural geometries. Evaluations across campus environments, dense urban centers, and custom residential datasets demonstrate significant improvements in edge fidelity without requiring architectural modifications to the 3DGS pipeline. Our approach proves robust across diverse building types, roof geometries, and urban densities.

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) achieves high-quality novel-view synthesis by optimizing freely placed primitives in 3D and adaptively densifying them in under-reconstructed regions. However, this scene-adaptive capacity allocation is largely lost in existing feed-forward 3DGS metho…

Single-image 3D hand avatar reconstruction is fundamentally ill-posed and particularly challenging due to limited visual evidence under severe self-occlusion and the complex pose-dependent deformation of highly articulated hands. Existing methods predominantly rely on implicit Ne…

Look Before You Edit: Attention-Guided Camera Placement and Multi-View Alignment for 3D Gaussian Splatting Editing

Jaeyeon Park, Taeho Kang, Youngki Lee

Text-driven 3D scene editing with 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) typically applies a 2D diffusion editor to views rendered from fixed training cameras, limiting both the spatial coverage of edits and the user's freedom to target specific objects in complex scenes. We present LB-Edi…

WAT3R: Feedforward Underwater 3D Reconstruction

Jiayi Xu, Jiahao Lu, Ziqiang Zheng, Yihao Tan, Yaolong Zhu, Yuan Liu, et al.

Reliable feedforward underwater 3D reconstruction remains challenging due to severe light attenuation and backscattering, which degrade visual quality and disrupt feature consistency across views, leading to inaccurate multi-view geometry. To address this issue, we propose WAT3R,…
