Deformable Beta Splatting
Rong Liu*, Dylan Sun*, Meida Chen, Yue Wang†, Andrew Feng†
2025 ACM Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques (SIGGRAPH 2025)
Deformable Beta Splatting introduces deformable Beta Kernels with adaptive frequency control for both geometry and color encoding, capturing complex geometries and lighting while only using 45% parameters and rendering 1.5x faster than 3DGS-MCMC.
SplatMAP: Online Dense Monocular SLAM with 3D Gaussian Splatting
Yue Hu, Rong Liu, Meida Chen, Peter Beerel, Andrew Feng
2025 ACM SIGGRAPH Symposium on Interactive 3D Graphics and Games (I3D 2025)
A real-time monocular SLAM system that fuses 3D Gaussian Splatting with SLAM’s dynamic depth and pose updates via SLAM-Informed Adaptive Densification and Geometry-Guided Optimization.
AtomGS: Atomizing Gaussian Splatting for High-Fidelity Radiance Field
Rong Liu, Rui Xu, Yue Hu, Meida Chen, Andrew Feng
35th British Machine Vision Conference 2024 (BMVC 2024)
AtomGS proposes an atomized proliferation of Gaussians and edge-aware normal loss to refine Gaussian splatting, boosting geometric precision and rendering fidelity in novel-view synthesis.
