📝 摘要(中文)

3D Gaussian Splatting技术在多视图图像构建辐射场方面取得了显著进展,实现了实时渲染。然而,基于点的光栅化在强光照条件下往往难以准确重建目标物体的几何形状。为了解决这一挑战,本文提出了一种结合八叉树隐式表面表示与高斯点云的新方法。该方法分为四个阶段:首先通过体积渲染重建签名距离场(SDF)和辐射场,并将其编码为低分辨率八叉树;其次,引入3D高斯作为额外的自由度,受SDF引导;第三,优化后的高斯进一步提高SDF的准确性,恢复更细致的几何细节;最后,利用精细化的SDF进一步优化3D高斯,通过点云消除对视觉效果贡献小的部分。实验结果表明,该方法在强光照下的高光图像中重建了更准确的几何形状。

📄 摘要(原文)

The 3D Gaussian Splatting technique has significantly advanced the construction of radiance fields from multi-view images, enabling real-time rendering. While point-based rasterization effectively reduces computational demands for rendering, it often struggles to accurately reconstruct the geometry of the target object, especially under strong lighting. To address this challenge, we introduce a novel approach that combines octree-based implicit surface representations with Gaussian splatting. Our method consists of four stages. Initially, it reconstructs a signed distance field (SDF) and a radiance field through volume rendering, encoding them in a low-resolution octree. The initial SDF represents the coarse geometry of the target object. Subsequently, it introduces 3D Gaussians as additional degrees of freedom, which are guided by the SDF. In the third stage, the optimized Gaussians further improve the accuracy of the SDF, allowing it to recover finer geometric details compared to the initial SDF obtained in the first stage. Finally, it adopts the refined SDF to further optimize the 3D Gaussians via splatting, eliminating those that contribute little to visual appearance. Experimental results show that our method, which leverages the distribution of 3D Gaussians with SDFs, reconstructs more accurate geometry, particularly in images with specular highlights caused by strong lighting.
