GaussVid: Sparse-View Gaussian Splatting with 3D-Aware Video Diffusion Priors

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has achieved remarkable success in novel view synthesis; however, reconstructions under sparse views often exhibit noticeable artifacts. While recent video diffusion models provide strong spatio-temporal priors for 3DGS restoration, directly fine-tuning them for restoration is suboptimal, as they lack awareness of the underlying multi-camera geometry, resulting in multi-view inconsistencies. In this work, we propose a novel 3D-aware video restoration framework designed to enhance the quality of sparse 3DGS reconstruction. Specifically, we construct a large-scale 3DGS video dataset to enable specialized fine-tuning. To bridge the gap between 2D video generation and 3D multi-view constraints, we introduce a camera-conditioned geometric prior. By using the first and last frames as boundary anchors and encoding the corresponding camera relationships, we explicitly inject spatial structure into the video generation pipeline. This boundary-anchored, camera-aware prior guides the network toward geometrically grounded restoration that remains coherent across viewpoints. Extensive experiments show that, among video-prior restoration methods, our approach attains the best pixel- and structure-level fidelity (PSNR/SSIM) and improves multi-view consistency, while remaining competitive in perceptual quality (LPIPS).
