ExtraGS: Enhancing Endoscopic View Extrapolation via Diffusion-Guided 3D Gaussian Splatting
Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (MIS) critically depends on reliable endoscopic perception for navigation and safety. However, conventional endoscopes provide only a limited field of view, leaving large portions of surrounding anatomy unobserved. Recent neural rendering approaches, such as Neural Radiance Fields and 3D Gaussian Splatting, enable novel view synthesis from endoscopic videos, but their reliance on sparse observations often leads to severe artifacts when extrapolating beyond the training trajectory.In this work, we propose ExtraGS, a framework for enhancing endoscopic vi
