Pose-Free Feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has recently emerged as a powerful paradigm for fast scene reconstruction.  \nHowever, its performance degrades significantly in long image sequences due to cumulative camera pose estimation drift, which propagates errors into geometric modeling and severely limits rendering fidelity. In this work, we revisit the long-sequence bottleneck and identify pose drift as the primary factor restricting reconstruction quality. Furthermore, while SfM-based pseudo ground-truth poses introduce sensor noise, purely rendering-based supervision often leads to optimization instability and local minima due to the entangled optimization of geometry and pose. To address the challenges, we propose a synergistic posefree framework that explicitly couples geometry and appearance via a Raymap-Guided Coupling Module (RGC) . Concretely, we anchor Gaussian centers to raymap-induced geometry and jointly optimize RGB reconstruction, raymap consistency, and camera regularization under a unified objective, yielding a bidirectional feedback loop: stronger geometry improves rendering, and appearance supervision in turn refines geometry and pose. To further stabilize learning across wide temporal ranges, we introduce a Dual-Frequency Viewpoint Scheduling strategy that combines easy-to-hard interval expansion with replay of short-interval pairs.  \nExtensive experiments across in-domain and cross-domain datasets show consistent gains in both rendering and pose estimation, with notably improved robustness on long sequences. Ablation studies validate our central insight: explicitly designed geometry-appearance synergy is the key to scalable and drift-robust pose-free feed-forward 3D reconstruction.  \nKeywords: Pose Drift · Dual-Frequency schedule · Gaussian Splatting  \n1 Introduction  \nFeed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has recently emerged as a powerful paradigm for rapid 3D reconstruction and novel view synthesis by predicting  \n⋆ Intern at Horizon Robotics B Corresponding authors.  \n2 X.

Compared to conventional per-scene optimization methods [20, 26], feed-forward approaches offer significantly faster reconstruction times, opening the door to applications that require fast 3D reconstruction in various practical scenarios. Early feed-forward pipelines typically assume known camera poses and focus on predicting Gaussian representations conditioned on calibrated multi-view observations [1, 3 , 16 , 27 , 41] . More recently, pose-free feed-forward models have been proposed to jointly infer camera geometry and scene representation directly from unposed image sequences [14, 18 , 33 , 42 , 43], thereby expanding the applicability of feed-forward 3DGS to settings where camera poses are not available in inference.  \nDespite encouraging progress, pose-free feed-forward 3DGS remains challenging, particularly for long sequences or wide-baseline viewpoints. A central difficulty arises from the strong coupling between predicted camera parameters and scene representation: errors in pose estimation can directly distort the reconstructed representation, while inaccuracies in scene structure can further degrade pose predictions.
