• Abstract: The advancement of real-time 3D scene reconstruction and novel view synthesis has been significantly propelled by 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS). However, effectively training large-scale 3DGS and rendering it in real-time across various scales remains challenging. This paper introduces CityGaussian (CityGS), which employs a novel divide-and-conquer training approach and Level-of-Detail (LoD) strategy for efficient large-scale 3DGS training and rendering. Specifically, the global scene prior and adaptive training data selection enables efficient training and seamless fusion. Based on fused Gaussian primitives, we generate different detail levels through compression, and realize fast rendering across various scales through the proposed block-wise detail levels selection and aggregation strategy. Extensive experimental results on large-scale scenes demonstrate that our approach attains state-of-theart rendering quality, enabling consistent real-time rendering of largescale scenes across vastly different scales.

  3D Gaussian Splatting (3D-GS) technique couples 3D primitives with differentiable Gaussianization to achieve high-quality novel view results. However, 3D-GS frequently suffers from over-reconstruction issue in intricate scenes containing high-frequency details, leading to blurry rendered images. We present a comprehensive analysis of the cause of aforementioned artifacts, namely gradient collision. Our strategy efficiently identifies large Gaussians in over-reconstructed regions, and recovers fine details by splitting.
