• Abstract: Recently, 3D Gaussian Splatting SLAM (3DGS-SLAM) has gained significant momentum in simultaneous localization and 3DGS scene reconstruction. In real-world scenarios with rapid camera motion and cluttered dynamic environments, existing methods rely on the stability of the underlying scene reconstruction to model uncertainty. This leads to a circular dependency between camera tracking accuracy and reconstruction quality: reconstruction instabilities degrade uncertainty modeling, which affects accurate camera tracking and static scene reconstruction. To address this, the paper proposes SCOUT-SLAM, a structurally-coupled dual-uncertainty framework in which both uncertainties are estimated from a shared base network. A low-rank adaptation of this network, trained on multi-view feature consistency, estimates a tracking uncertainty that does not depend solely on the reconstruction quality. A spatially-adaptive prior modulates the network's training objective so that reconstruction instability does not inflate uncertainty on static regions, keeping the shared representation intact for both branches. Evaluations on dynamic benchmarks (TUM RGB-D, Bonn Dynamic, Wild-SLAM MoCap) demonstrate that SCOUT-SLAM achieves state-of-the-art camera tracking accuracy and artifact-free static scene reconstruction.
