• Abstract: Omnidirectional (or 360-degree) images are increasingly being used for 3D applications since they allow the rendering of an entire scene with a single image. Existing works based on neural radiance fields demonstrate successful 3D reconstruction quality on egocentric videos, yet they suffer from long training and rendering times. Recently, 3D Gaussian splatting has gained attention for its fast optimization and real-time rendering. However, directly using a perspective rasterizer to omnidirectional images results in severe distortion due to the different optical properties between two image domains. In this work, we present ODGS, a novel rasterization pipeline for omnidirectional images, with geometric interpretation. For each Gaussian, we define a tangent plane that touches the unit sphere and is perpendicular to the ray headed toward the Gaussian center. We then leverage a perspective camera rasterizer to project the Gaussian onto the corresponding tangent plane. The projected Gaussians are transformed and combined into the omnidirectional image, finalizing the omnidirectional rasterization process. This interpretation reveals the implicit assumptions within the proposed pipeline, which we verify through mathematical proofs. The entire rasterization process is parallelized using CUDA, achieving optimization and rendering speeds 100 times faster than NeRF-based methods. Our comprehensive experiments highlight the superiority of ODGS by delivering the best reconstruction and perceptual quality across various datasets. Additionally, results on roaming datasets demonstrate that ODGS restores fine details effectively, even when reconstructing large 3D scenes. The source code is available on our project page (https://github.com/esw0116/ODGS).

  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.

• Identifying Unnecessary 3D Gaussians using Clustering for Fast Rendering of 3D Gaussian Splatting [2.878831747437321]
  3D-GS is a new rendering approach that outperforms the neural radiance field (NeRF) in terms of both speed and image quality. We propose a computational reduction technique that quickly identifies unnecessary 3D Gaussians in real-time for rendering the current view. For the Mip-NeRF360 dataset, the proposed technique excludes 63% of 3D Gaussians on average before the 2D image projection, which reduces the overall rendering by almost 38.3% without sacrificing peak-signal-to-noise-ratio (PSNR) The proposed accelerator also achieves a speedup of 10.7x compared to a GPU
