## Abstract (arXiv)

We propose a new method for few-shot 3D reconstruction that integrates global and local frequency regularization to stabilize geometry and preserve fine details under sparse-view conditions, addressing a key limitation of existing 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) models. We also introduce a new multispectral greenhouse dataset containing four spectral bands captured from diverse plant species under controlled conditions. Alongside the dataset, we release an open-source benchmarking package that defines standardized few-shot reconstruction protocols for evaluating 3DGS-based methods. Experiments on our multispectral dataset, as well as standard benchmarks, demonstrate that the proposed method achieves sharper, more stable, and spectrally consistent reconstructions than existing baselines. The dataset and code for this work are publicly available
