3D-GIMP: When 3D Gaussian Inpainting Meets PatchMatch

Researchers present 3D-GIMP (3D Gaussian Inpainting Meets Patch Matching), a hybrid paradigm for high-fidelity object removal in 3D Gaussian Splatting that performs a single generative inpainting on a key reference view and uses a 3D-aware PatchMatch algorithm to propagate textures across views, achieving competitive inpainting quality with faster rendering and better view consistency compared to multi-view diffusion methods.

arXiv:2607.20789v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in 3D scene editing have leveraged iterative diffusion models to update input views. However, this process is computationally expensive and struggles to produce sharp details. Meanwhile, ``hallucination drift'' frequently introduces multi-view inconsistencies, leading to structural artifacts when rendering novel viewpoints. To address this problem, we present 3D-GIMP (3D Gaussian Inpainting Meets Patch Matching), a novel hybrid paradigm designed for high-fidelity object removal in 3D Gaussian Splatting. Instead of diffusing every view, 3D-GIMP performs a single generative inpainting on a key reference view, which serves as an appearance prior. We then introduce a 3D-aware PatchMatch algorithm to propagate these reference textures across all remaining views via correspondence matching, effectively bypassing the stochastic nature of frame-by-frame diffusion. By prioritizing reconstructive consistency over iterative generation, 3D-GIMP maintains high-frequency details across arbitrary resolutions while ensuring a mathematically consistent 3D reconstruction. Our experiments demonstrate that 3D-GIMP not only achieves competitive inpainting quality as previous methods using diffusion in multiple views, but also outperforms these methods in rendering speed and view consistency.
