Abstract
Feed-forward Gaussian reconstruction builds 3D scenes directly from input images for novel view rendering, but learning Gaussian attributes from predicted geometry for high-quality rendering under large viewpoint changes remains challenging. We analyze limitations in Gaussian attribute learning and introduce InfiniSplat v2, which improves rendering quality through architectural and training changes. Our method decouples geometry and attribute prediction with a frozen geometry branch, aligns predicted Gaussians using ground-truth camera poses during training, and adopts large-angle target view supervision. Across six datasets, the feed-forward outputs of the same trained model achieve state-of-the-art mean LPIPS and DISTS among the evaluated methods in both pose-conditioned and pose-free settings. In the pose-conditioned setting, mean LPIPS and DISTS decrease by 25.8% and 32.9%, respectively, compared with the strongest evaluated baselines. We further find that opacity learned with only image reconstruction supervision suppresses geometrically inconsistent points. Project page: https://zju3dv.github.io/InfiniSplat2/

| Dimension | Level | Weight | What that level means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leverage | ███░░ 3 | 24% | A method or resource many groups across the field will adopt within a year. |
| Magnitude | ███░░ 3 | 18% | Large gain: roughly 2x, or a clear new state of the art on a hard, unsaturated problem. |
| Evidence | ███░░ 3 | 14% | Solid: multiple benchmarks or cohorts, ablations, fair baselines, released code or data. |
| Novelty | ██░░░ 2 | 16% | A new combination of known ideas. |
| Trajectory | ██░░░ 2 | 18% | Some room to improve with obvious engineering. |
| Stakes | ██░░░ 2 | 10% | Benefits a professional community (practitioners, clinicians, engineers). |
Editor’s rationale
Heuristic triage from title and abstract text only, not a reading of the paper. Cues found: breadth (many tasks); gains (state of the art); verification (multiple benchmarks).
