- Abstract summary: We present Exact Volumetric Ellipsoid Rendering (EVER), a method for real-time differentiable emission-only volume rendering.
Unlike recentization based approach by 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS), our primitive based representation allows for exact volume rendering.
We show that our method is more accurate with blending issues than 3DGS and follow-up work on view rendering.

- Abstract: We present Exact Volumetric Ellipsoid Rendering (EVER), a method for real-time differentiable emission-only volume rendering. Unlike recent rasterization based approach by 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS), our primitive based representation allows for exact volume rendering, rather than alpha compositing 3D Gaussian billboards. As such, unlike 3DGS our formulation does not suffer from popping artifacts and view dependent density, but still achieves frame rates of $\sim\!30$ FPS at 720p on an NVIDIA RTX4090. Since our approach is built upon ray tracing it enables effects such as defocus blur and camera distortion (e.g. such as from fisheye cameras), which are difficult to achieve by rasterization. We show that our method is more accurate with fewer blending issues than 3DGS and follow-up work on view-consistent rendering, especially on the challenging large-scale scenes from the Zip-NeRF dataset where it achieves sharpest results among real-time techniques.

We introduce 3D Convexting (3DCS), which leverages 3D smooth convexes as primitives for modeling geometrically-meaningful radiance fields from multiview images.
3DCS achieves superior performance over 3DGS on benchmarks such as MipNeizer, Tanks and Temples, and Deep Blending.
Our results highlight the potential of 3D Convexting to become the new standard for high-quality scene reconstruction.

3D Gaussians have recently emerged as a highly efficient representation for 3D reconstruction and rendering.
Despite its high rendering quality and speed at high resolutions, they both deteriorate drastically when rendered at lower resolutions or from far away camera position.
We propose a multi-scale 3D Gaussian splatting algorithm, which maintains Gaussians at different scales to represent the same scene.
Our algorithm can achieve 13%-66% PSNR and 160%-2400% rendering speed improvement at 4$times$-128$times$ scale rendering on Mip-NeRF360 dataset.
