• Abstract: We address the problem of performing backpropagation for computation graphs involving 3D transformation groups SO(3), SE(3), and Sim(3). 3D transformation groups are widely used in 3D vision and robotics, but they do not form vector spaces and instead lie on smooth manifolds. The standard backpropagation approach, which embeds 3D transformations in Euclidean spaces, suffers from numerical difficulties. We introduce a new library, which exploits the group structure of 3D transformations and performs backpropagation in the tangent spaces of manifolds. We show that our approach is numerically more stable, easier to implement, and beneficial to a diverse set of tasks. Our plug-and-play PyTorch library is available at https://github.com/princeton-vl/lietorch.

  3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has shown encouraging performance for open vocabulary scene understanding tasks. Previous methods cannot distinguish 3D instance-level information, which usually predicts a heatmap between the scene feature and text query. We propose PanoGS, a novel and effective 3D panoptic open vocabulary scene understanding approach.

  3D Gaussian Splatting has emerged as an alternative 3D representation for novel view synthesis.

Our approach achieves high-quality 3D segmentation without rough boundary issues, which can be easily applied to other scene editing tasks.

  We propose Gaussian Grouping, which extends Gaussian Splatting to jointly reconstruct and segment anything in open-world 3D scenes. Compared to the implicit NeRF representation, we show that the grouped 3D Gaussians can reconstruct, segment and edit anything in 3D with high visual quality, fine granularity and efficiency.
