This is an unrefereed preprint introducing View-Structured Conformal Prediction (VSCP), a computational method to quantify uncertainty in 3D Gaussian Splatting novel-view synthesis. The method achieves stated coverage targets (91.7–92.0% view-event coverage at 90% target) with reduced prediction interval width compared to baselines, but remains a technical algorithm paper without peer review or application to clinical or biological domains.
Preprint. Intervention: View-Structured Conformal Prediction (VSCP): a method that factorizes prediction scale into spatial shape from renderer and view-difficulty factor, with view-wise quantile adjustment for finite-sample validity. Compared with: Pixel-pooled calibration, constant-scale baseline, ten-model ensemble, 3DGS-U baseline, Mip-NeRF 360 with different densification backbone.
Pixel-pooled calibration reaches 89.9% marginal pixel coverage but only 61.4% view-event coverage at 90% target; VSCP reaches 91.7–92.0% VSCP cuts width by 22.1% against constant scale and matches ten-model ensemble's 21.0% reduction using only one model per scene VSCP improves on 3DGS-U baseline by 4.7 points (p=0.0225)

This is an arXiv preprint describing a novel computational method for uncertainty quantification in 3D rendering; it has not undergone peer review and reports primarily technical metrics rather than clinical or translational outcomes.

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) renders novel views in real time, but an uncertainty heatmap does not certify that a rendered view meets a certain prediction coverage. We treat novel-view synthesis as structured regression and ask that, with probability at least $1-α$, RGB prediction boxes cover at least a $1-β$ fraction of pixels in a new view. We propose View-Structured Conformal Prediction (VSCP). It splits the pre-calibration scale into a spatial shape from the renderer and a transferable view-difficulty factor, which predicts the smallest view-wise multiplier that shape needs. A held-out quantile over views (View-CP) then gives finite-sample validity even when transferring to new scenes. The same factorization makes the analysis exact: a conformity score is the ratio of oracle to predicted view difficulty, and excess width separates into a test-side and a calibration-side term. Across 13 real scenes, pixel-pooled calibration reaches 89.9\% marginal pixel coverage but only 61.4\% view-event coverage at a 90\% target, while View-CP reaches 91.7--92.0\%. At matched coverage VSCP cuts width by 22.1\% against a constant scale, and matches a ten-model ensemble's 21.0\% reduction using only one model per scene and four rather than ten rasterization passes per query. VSCP also improves on the closest single-model baseline, the 3DGS-U field, by 4.7 points ($p=0.0225$). The view predictor transfers from bounded source families to all nine unbounded Mip-NeRF~360 scenes. There the full scale beats the constant scale with 20.7\% width saving on all nine scenes. It also keeps an 18.3\% saving under a different densification backbone and runs at 216--280 FPS on an RTX~4090.
