📝 摘要(中文)

从多视角图像呈现3D场景一直是计算机视觉和计算机图形学中的核心挑战。现有的神经体积渲染技术虽然在渲染质量上取得了显著进展,但通常忽视了场景几何结构,导致重建质量下降。为了解决这一问题,本文提出了一种新颖的双分支架构GSDF,结合了灵活高效的3D高斯点云表示与神经签名距离场(SDF)。该方法通过相互指导和联合监督,提升了表面重建的准确性和细节,同时改善了3DGS渲染的几何对齐性。

🔬 方法详解

问题定义:论文旨在解决现有神经渲染和重建方法在捕捉复杂场景几何和细节方面的不足,尤其是在大规模和复杂场景中表现不佳的问题。

核心思路:GSDF的核心思路是通过双分支架构,将3D高斯点云表示与神经签名距离场相结合,利用两者的优势互补,提升渲染和重建的质量。

技术框架:GSDF的整体架构包括两个主要模块:3D高斯点云表示模块和神经签名距离场模块。两者通过相互指导和联合监督进行训练,以实现更高的渲染和重建精度。

📄 摘要(原文)

Presenting a 3D scene from multiview images remains a core and long-standing challenge in computer vision and computer graphics. Two main requirements lie in rendering and reconstruction. Notably, SOTA rendering quality is usually achieved with neural volumetric rendering techniques, which rely on aggregated point/primitive-wise color and neglect the underlying scene geometry. Learning of neural implicit surfaces is sparked from the success of neural rendering. Current works either constrain the distribution of density fields or the shape of primitives, resulting in degraded rendering quality and flaws on the learned scene surfaces. The efficacy of such methods is limited by the inherent constraints of the chosen neural representation, which struggles to capture fine surface details, especially for larger, more intricate scenes. To address these issues, we introduce GSDF, a novel dual-branch architecture that combines the benefits of a flexible and efficient 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) representation with neural Signed Distance Fields (SDF). The core idea is to leverage and enhance the strengths of each branch while alleviating their limitation through mutual guidance and joint supervision. We show on diverse scenes that our design unlocks the potential for more accurate and detailed surface reconstructions, and at the meantime benefits 3DGS rendering with structures that are more aligned with the underlying geometry.
