ActivePolicy: Active Gaussian Reconstruction and Optimization Strategy Based on Global-Local Information Gain
Yingzhao Li, Yanjie Liu, lijun zhao
Abstract
Active 3D Gaussian reconstruction achieves superior completeness and rendering quality by intelligently selecting viewpoints. However, existing methods suffer from two critical limitations: information gain metrics that prioritize geometric coverage while ignoring rendering quality, and overfitting to sparse view configurations that degrades novel view synthesis. We introduce ActivePolicy, a novel framework addressing both challenges through principled NBV selection and regularization. We propose GL-Graph, a graph-theoretic strategy that unifies geometric consistency, rendering quality, and observation redundancy into a single stability criterion. To counteract overfitting, we introduce 4D-Reg, which identifies floaters through manifold discrepancies among three depth types (R-Depth, -Depth, C-Depth) and suppresses them via adaptive dropout. Extensive experiments demonstrate state-of-the-art reconstruction completeness and rendering fidelity on standard benchmarks.
