DensiTok: Making Feed-Forward 3D Gaussian Splatting See More Views Than It Is Given

Feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) reconstructs a scene in a single forward pass, replacing per-scene optimization with a network trained across many scenes. Its quality, however, degrades sharply as the number of input images drops. The bottleneck is upstream of the reconstruction heads: from a few unposed views, the internal representation they read carries no evidence for unobserved regions, leaving holes, floaters, and blur. The common remedy supplies that evidence as pixels, synthesizing extra views with an image or video generator and re-encoding them, which is costly and not 3D-consistent by construction. We instead densify the evidence itself. We present DensiTok, a plug-in module for pretrained feed-forward 3DGS models that densifies their internal geometry tokens directly, making a frozen backbone behave as though it had observed many more views than it was given. DensiTok compresses those tokens into a compact latent space, completes the latents of the unobserved viewpoints in a single flow-matching step conditioned on camera geometry, and decodes them back into tokens that the original reconstruction heads. The same module design can be integrated into…
