• Abstract summary: Gaussian splatting has demonstrated excellent performance for view synthesis and scene reconstruction. Since each Gaussian primitive encodes both appearance and geometry, appearance modeling requires a number of Gaussian primitives. We propose to employ perprimitive representation so that even a single Gaussian can be used to capture appearance details.

• Abstract: Gaussian splatting has demonstrated excellent performance for view synthesis and scene reconstruction. The representation achieves photorealistic quality by optimizing the position, scale, color, and opacity of thousands to millions of 2D or 3D Gaussian primitives within a scene. However, since each Gaussian primitive encodes both appearance and geometry, these attributes are strongly coupled--thus, high-fidelity appearance modeling requires a large number of Gaussian primitives, even when the scene geometry is simple (e.g., for a textured planar surface). We propose to texture each 2D Gaussian primitive so that even a single Gaussian can be used to capture appearance details. By employing per-primitive texturing, our appearance representation is agnostic to the topology and complexity of the scene's geometry. We show that our approach, GStex, yields improved visual quality over prior work in texturing Gaussian splats. Furthermore, we demonstrate that our decoupling enables improved novel view synthesis performance compared to 2D Gaussian splatting when reducing the number of Gaussian primitives, and that GStex can be used for scene appearance editing and re-texturing.

  3D Gaussian Splatting has emerged as a promising representation for rendering of 3D scenes. We observe that Gaussians exhibit distinct roles and characteristics that are analogous to traditional artistic techniques. We propose a novel hybrid representation that categorizes Gaussians into (i) Sketch Gaussians, which define scene boundaries, and (ii) Patch Gaussians, which cover smooth regions.
