• Abstract: In this paper, we reimagine volumetric representations through the lens of quadrics. We posit that rigid scene components can be effectively decomposed into quadric surfaces. Leveraging this assumption, we reshape the volumetric representations with million of cubes by several quadric planes, which results in more accurate and efficient modeling of 3D scenes in SLAM contexts. First, we use the quadric assumption to rectify noisy depth estimations from RGB inputs. This step significantly improves depth estimation accuracy, and allows us to efficiently sample ray points around quadric planes instead of the entire volume space in previous NeRF-SLAM systems. Second, we introduce a novel quadric-decomposed transformer to aggregate information across quadrics. The quadric semantics are not only explicitly used for depth correction and scene decomposition, but also serve as an implicit supervision signal for the mapping network. Through rigorous experimental evaluation, our method exhibits superior performance over other approaches relying on estimated depth, and achieves comparable accuracy to methods utilizing ground truth depth on both synthetic and real-world datasets.

  We present a novelview rendering algorithm, Mode-GS, for ground-robot trajectory datasets. Our approach is based on using anchored Gaussian splats, which are designed to overcome the limitations of existing 3D Gaussian splatting algorithms.

  3D Gaussian Splatting (GS) significantly struggles to accurately represent the underlying 3D scene geometry. We address this limitation, undertaking a comprehensive analysis of the integration of depth priors throughout the optimization process. This latter dynamically exploits depth cues from a readily available stereo network, processing virtual stereo pairs rendered by the GS model itself during training and achieving consistent self-improvement.

  We investigate a new computational approach that builds on a novel shape representation that is volumetric. The shape energy associated to this representation evaluates 3D geometry given color images and does not need appearance prediction. In practice we propose an implicit shape representation, the SRDF, based on signed distances which we parameterize by depths along camera rays.
