• Abstract summary: MirrorGaussian is the first method for mirror scene reconstruction with real-time rendering based on 3D Gaussian Splatting. We introduce an intuitive dual-rendering strategy that enables differentiableization of both the real-world 3D Gaussians and the mirrored counterpart. Our approach significantly outperforms existing methods, achieving state-of-the-art results.

• Abstract: 3D Gaussian Splatting showcases notable advancements in photo-realistic and real-time novel view synthesis. However, it faces challenges in modeling mirror reflections, which exhibit substantial appearance variations from different viewpoints. To tackle this problem, we present MirrorGaussian, the first method for mirror scene reconstruction with real-time rendering based on 3D Gaussian Splatting. The key insight is grounded on the mirror symmetry between the real-world space and the virtual mirror space. We introduce an intuitive dual-rendering strategy that enables differentiable rasterization of both the real-world 3D Gaussians and the mirrored counterpart obtained by reflecting the former about the mirror plane. All 3D Gaussians are jointly optimized with the mirror plane in an end-to-end framework. MirrorGaussian achieves high-quality and real-time rendering in scenes with mirrors, empowering scene editing like adding new mirrors and objects. Comprehensive experiments on multiple datasets demonstrate that our approach significantly outperforms existing methods, achieving state-of-the-art results.

• EnvGS: Modeling View-Dependent Appearance with Environment Gaussian [78.74634059559891]
  EnvGS is a novel approach that employs a set of Gaussian primitives as an explicit 3D representation for capturing reflections of environments. To efficiently render these environment Gaussian primitives, we developed a ray-tracing-based reflection that leverages the GPU's RT core for fast rendering. Results from multiple real-world and synthetic datasets demonstrate that our method produces significantly more detailed reflections.

  This paper presents a 3D Gaussian Inverse Rendering (GIR) method, employing 3D Gaussian representations to factorize the scene into material properties, light, and geometry. We compute the normal of each 3D Gaussian using the shortest eigenvector, with a directional masking scheme forcing accurate normal estimation without external supervision. We adopt an efficient voxel-based indirect illumination tracing scheme that stores direction-aware outgoing radiance in each 3D Gaussian to disentangle secondary illumination for approximating multi-bounce light transport.
