Researchers have developed PanoLess, a novel framework that reconstructs the surrounding environment from images captured on only one side of a reflective surface. This method utilizes surface-aligned 2D Gaussian splats and deferred shading to accurately recover per-pixel normals and reflection cues, which are then integrated into a neural cubemap representation. PanoLess is designed to overcome the limitations of existing approaches that typically require full 360-degree coverage and struggle with incomplete views, demonstrating high-fidelity environment reconstruction from partial-view input.
