📝 摘要(中文)
近年来,3D高斯点云渲染(3D-GS)的进展不仅通过现代GPU光栅化管线实现了实时渲染,还达到了最先进的渲染质量。然而,尽管在标准数据集上表现出色,3D-GS在准确建模镜面和各向异性成分方面仍面临挑战。这主要源于球谐函数(SH)在表示高频信息时的局限性。为了解决这一问题,本文提出了Spec-Gaussian,采用各向异性球形高斯(ASG)外观场来建模每个3D高斯的视依赖外观。此外,我们还开发了一种粗到细的训练策略,以提高学习效率并消除因过拟合导致的浮动现象。实验结果表明,我们的方法在渲染质量上超越了现有方法。

📄 摘要(原文)
The recent advancements in 3D Gaussian splatting (3D-GS) have not only facilitated real-time rendering through modern GPU rasterization pipelines but have also attained state-of-the-art rendering quality. Nevertheless, despite its exceptional rendering quality and performance on standard datasets, 3D-GS frequently encounters difficulties in accurately modeling specular and anisotropic components. This issue stems from the limited ability of spherical harmonics (SH) to represent high-frequency information. To overcome this challenge, we introduce Spec-Gaussian, an approach that utilizes an anisotropic spherical Gaussian (ASG) appearance field instead of SH for modeling the view-dependent appearance of each 3D Gaussian. Additionally, we have developed a coarse-to-fine training strategy to improve learning efficiency and eliminate floaters caused by overfitting in real-world scenes. Our experimental results demonstrate that our method surpasses existing approaches in terms of rendering quality. Thanks to ASG, we have significantly improved the ability of 3D-GS to model scenes with specular and anisotropic components without increasing the number of 3D Gaussians. This improvement extends the applicability of 3D GS to handle intricate scenarios with specular and anisotropic surfaces. Project page is https://ingra14m.github.io/Spec-Gaussian-website/.
