SplatWeaver: Learning to Allocate Gaussian Primitives for Generalizable Novel View Synthesis
SplatWeaver is a feed-forward novel view synthesis framework that dynamically allocates 3D Gaussian primitives based on spatial complexity, improving rendering quality and efficiency over fixed-allocation methods. It leverages cardinality Gaussian experts and a pixel-level routing scheme guided by high-frequency priors to adaptively distribute primitives across complex and smooth scene regions.
