Kim Title: F4Splat: Feed-Forward Predictive Densification for Feed-Forward 3D Gaussian Splatting Arxiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/2603.21304v1 Abstract: Feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting methods enable single-pass reconstruction and real-time rendering. However, they typically adopt rigid pixel-to-Gaussian or voxel-to-Gaussian pipelines that uniformly allocate Gaussians, leading to redundant Gaussians across views. Moreover, they lack an effective mechanism to control the total number of Gaussians while maintaining reconstruction fidelity. To address these limitations, we present F4Splat, which performs Feed-Forward predictive densification for Feed-Forward 3D Gaussian Splatting, introducing a densification-score-guided allocation strategy that adaptively distributes Gaussians according to spatial complexity and multi-view overlap. Our model predicts per-region densification scores to estimate the required Gaussian density and allows explicit control over the final Gaussian budget without retraining. This spatially adaptive allocation reduces redundancy in simple regions and minimizes duplicate Gaussians across overlapping views, producing compact yet high-quality 3D representations. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our model achieves superior novel-view synthesis performance compared to prior uncalibrated feed-forward methods, while using significantly fewer Gaussians.
