VGGT-Based COLMAP-Free Initialization for Sparse-View 3D Gaussian Splatting
Standard 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) pipelines for Novel View Synthesis (NVS) are bottlenecked by Structurefrom-Motion (SfM) initialization. In casual, sparse-view scenarios, feature matching breaks down, causing the entire reconstruction process to fail. We replace this brittle dependency with a COLMAP-free, feed-for...
