TokenSplat: Token-aligned 3D Gaussian Splatting for Feed-forward Pose-free Reconstruction
Abstract
We present TokenSplat, a feed-forward framework for joint 3D Gaussian reconstruction and camera pose estimation from unposed multi-view images.At its core, TokenSplat introduces a Token-aligned Gaussian Prediction module that aligns semantically corresponding information across views directly in the feature space.Guided by coarse token positions and fusion confidence, it aggregates multi-scale contextual features to enable long-range cross-view reasoning and reduce redundancy from overlapping Gaussians.To further enhance pose robustness and disentangle viewpoint cues from scene semantics, TokenSplat employs learnable camera tokens and an Asymmetric Dual-Flow Decoder (ADF-Decoder) that enforces directionally constrained communication between camera and image tokens. This maintains clean factorization within a feed-forward architecture, enabling coherent reconstruction and stable pose estimation without iterative refinement.Extensive experiments demonstrate that TokenSplat achieves higher reconstruction fidelity and novel-view synthesis quality in pose-free settings, and significantly improves pose estimation accuracy compared to prior pose-free methods.
