• Abstract: In computer graphics and vision, recovering easily modifiable scene appearance from image data is crucial for applications such as content creation. We introduce a novel method that integrates 3D Gaussian Splatting with an implicit surface representation, enabling intuitive editing of recovered scenes through mesh manipulation. Starting with a set of input images and camera poses, our approach reconstructs the scene surface using a neural signed distance field. This neural surface acts as a geometric prior guiding the training of Gaussian Splatting components, ensuring their alignment with the scene geometry. To facilitate editing, we encode the visual and geometric information into a lightweight triangle soup proxy. Edits applied to the mesh extracted from the neural surface propagate seamlessly through this intermediate structure to update the recovered appearance. Unlike previous methods relying on the triangle soup proxy representation, our approach supports a wider range of modifications and fully leverages the mesh topology, enabling a more flexible and intuitive editing process.

• Mesh-Guided Neural Implicit Field Editing [42.78979161815414]
  We propose a new approach that employs a mesh as a guiding mechanism in editing the neural field. We first introduce a differentiable method using marching tetrahedra for polygonal mesh extraction from the neural implicit field. We then design a differentiable color extractor to assign colors obtained from the volume renderings to this extracted mesh. This differentiable colored mesh allows gradient back-propagation from the explicit mesh to the implicit fields, empowering users to easily manipulate the geometry and color of neural implicit fields.
