• Abstract: Reconstructing dynamic urban scenes presents significant challenges due to their intrinsic geometric structures and spatiotemporal dynamics. Existing methods that attempt to model dynamic urban scenes without leveraging priors on potentially moving regions often produce suboptimal results. Meanwhile, approaches based on manual 3D annotations yield improved reconstruction quality but are impractical due to labor-intensive labeling. In this paper, we revisit the potential of 2D semantic maps for classifying dynamic and static Gaussians and integrating spatial and temporal dimensions for urban scene representation. We introduce Urban4D, a novel framework that employs a semantic-guided decomposition strategy inspired by advances in deep 2D semantic map generation. Our approach distinguishes potentially dynamic objects through reliable semantic Gaussians. To explicitly model dynamic objects, we propose an intuitive and effective 4D Gaussian splatting (4DGS) representation that aggregates temporal information through learnable time embeddings for each Gaussian, predicting their deformations at desired timestamps using a multilayer perceptron (MLP). For more accurate static reconstruction, we also design a k-nearest neighbor (KNN)-based consistency regularization to handle the ground surface due to its low-texture characteristic. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate that Urban4D not only achieves comparable or better quality than previous state-of-the-art methods but also effectively captures dynamic objects while maintaining high visual fidelity for static elements.

  In this paper, we frame dynamic scenes as unconstrained 4D volume learning problems. We represent a target dynamic scene using a collection of 4D Gaussian primitives with explicit geometry and appearance features. This approach can capture relevant information in space and time by fitting the underlying photorealistic-temporal volume. Notably, our 4DGS model is the first solution that supports real-time rendering of high-resolution, novel views for complex dynamic scenes.
