Researchers have developed MACRO, a novel training-free method designed to improve close-up rendering quality in 3D Gaussian splatting (3DGS). The method addresses the scale gap issue where features from reference images are not scale-invariant, leading to incorrect correspondences when content appears at different scales. MACRO achieves this by decomposing the scene into depth planes, resizing references to match each plane's scale before encoding, and applying a depth-aware attention mask. This approach requires no architectural changes or additional training and has demonstrated state-of-the-art results on new close-up novel view synthesis benchmarks. AI
