πŸ“ Abstract
Recent single-view feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) generation predicts a fixed number of Gaussians per camera ray, introducing severe spatial redundancy. Most existing compaction strategies target multi-view setups to exploit cross-view consistency and are incompatible with single-image models. Instead of retraining the base feed-forward network to directly output compact representations, our insight is to keep the base models frozen and apply post-hoc pruning and recurrent refinement to the generated Gaussians. Consequently, we propose a backbone-agnostic compaction pipeline for single-view feed-forward 3DGS that couples an importance-score-based pruning mechanism with a trainable, lightweight recurrent refinement module, which iteratively updates the surviving primitives to restore image quality. Our results demonstrate seamless integration with existing baselines while preserving novel-view rendering fidelity and achieving high memory reduction. Furthermore, our method supports flexible inference-time keep ratios for application needs.
