DeltaSplat: Iterative Gaussian Refinement for Pose-Free Feed-Forward 3D Gaussian Splatting

Pose-free feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) reconstructs a scene from sparse, unposed images in a single network pass, removing the need for camera calibration and per-scene optimization.

Key points

  • To correct these errors, we introduce DeltaSplat, a lightweight Gaussian refinement module for pose-free feed-forward 3DGS.
  • A 2D residual alone, however, underdetermines the 3D correction.
  • DeltaSplat therefore conditions each update on per-pixel Plücker rays and rendered depth as a soft geometric prior.
  • On DL3DV, DeltaSplat reaches 26.64 dB PSNR in the pose-free setting, improving its state-of-the-art backbone by 1.75 dB and surpassing even baselines supplied with ground-truth cameras; consistent gains hold across 6-24 views and all camera regimes.
