contents 3D Gaussian Splatting has demonstrated superior performance in rendering efficiency and quality, yet the generation of 3D Gaussians still remains a challenge without proper geometric priors. Existing methods have explored predicting point maps as geometric references for inferring Gaussian primitives, while the unreliable estimated geometries may lead to poor generations. In this work, we introduce GaussianGrow, a novel approach that generates 3D Gaussians by learning to grow them from easily accessible 3D point clouds, naturally enforcing geometric accuracy in Gaussian generation. Specifically, we design a text-guided Gaussian growing scheme that leverages a multi-view diffusion model to synthesize consistent appearances from input point clouds for supervision. To mitigate artifacts caused by fusing neighboring views, we constrain novel views generated at non-preset camera poses identified in overlapping regions across different views. For completing the hard-to-observe regions, we propose to iteratively detect the camera pose by observing the largest un-grown regions in point clouds and inpainting them by inpainting the rendered view with a pretrained 2D diffusion model. The process continues until complete Gaussians are generated. We extensively evaluate GaussianGrow on text-guided Gaussian generation from synthetic and even real-scanned point clouds.
