CylinderSplat: 3D Gaussian Splatting with Cylindrical Triplanes for Panoramic Novel View Synthesis

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2603.05882v1 Announce Type: new Feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has shown great promise for real-time novel view synthesis, but its application to panoramic imagery remains challenging. Existing methods often rely on multi-view cost volumes for geometric refinement, which struggle to resolve occlusions in sparse-view scenarios. Furthermore, standard volumetric representations like Cartesian Triplanes are poor in capturing the inherent geometry of $360^\circ$ scenes, leading to distortion and aliasing. In this work, we
