arXiv:2604.04331v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reconstructing static 3D scene from monocular video with dynamic objects is important for numerous applications such as virtual reality and autonomous driving. Current approaches typically rely on background for static scene reconstruction, limiting the ability to recover regions occluded by dynamic objects. In this paper, we propose GA-GS, a Generation-Assisted Gaussian Splatting method for Static Scene Reconstruction. The key innovation of our work lies in leveraging generation to assist in reconstructing occluded regions. We employ a motion-aware module to segment and remove dynamic regions, and thenuse a diffusion model to inpaint the occluded areas, providing pseudo-ground-truth supervision. To balance contributions from real background and generated region, we introduce a learnable authenticity scalar for each Gaussian primitive, which dynamically modulates opacity during splatting for authenticity-aware rendering and supervision. Since no existing dataset provides ground-truth static scene of video with dynamic objects, we construct a dataset named Trajectory-Match, using a fixed-path robot to record each scene with/without dynamic objects, enabling quantitative evaluation in reconstruction of occluded regions. Extensive experiments on both the DAVIS and our dataset show that GA-GS achieves state-of-the-art performance in static scene reconstruction, especially in challenging scenarios with large-scale, persistent occlusions.

arXiv:2603.06656v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Human gameplay is a visually grounded interaction loop in which players act, reflect on failures, and watch tutorials to refine strategies. Can Vision-Language Models (VLMs) also learn from video-based reflection? We present GameVerse, a comprehensive video game benchmark that enables a reflective visual interaction loop. Moving beyond traditional fire-and-forget evaluations, it uses a novel reflect-and-retry paradigm to assess how VLMs internalize visual experience and improve policies. To facilitate systematic and scalable evaluation, we also introduce a cognitive hierarchical taxonomy spanning 15 globally popular games, dual action space for both semantic and GUI control, and milestone evaluation using advanced VLMs to quantify progress. Our experiments show that VLMs benefit from video-based reflection in varied settings, and perform best by combining failure trajectories and expert tutorials-a training-free analogue to reinforcement learning (RL) plus supervised fine-tuning (SFT).
