RefracGS: Novel View Synthesis Through Refractive Water Surfaces with 3D Gaussian Ray Tracing

RefracGS is a novel framework for generating novel views through refractive water surfaces. It jointly reconstructs the water surface using a neural height field and the underlying scene with a 3D Gaussian field, employing refraction‑aware Gaussian ray tracing based on Snell’s law. The method achieves high‑fidelity view synthesis, outperforms prior refractive approaches, and offers 15× faster training with real‑time rendering at 200 FPS.

Ref-DGS: Reflective Dual Gaussian Splatting

arXiv:2603. 07664v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The reflective appearance, especially strong and typically near-field specular reflections, poses a fundamental challenge for accurate surface reconstruction and novel view synthesis.

Floating Radiance Networks

Recent advances in neural scene representations enable photorealistic novel-view synthesis, yet most methods remain tightly coupled to a single rendering paradigm, limiting their versatility and integration with conventional graphics workflows. We introduce Floating Radiance Networks (FlaRe), a neural scene representation combining explicit ray-traceable geometry with continuous neural radiance functions.

FF-ProCams: Feed-Forward Gaussian Splatting for Projector-Camera System

Projector-camera (ProCams) systems achieve active scene perception and controllable appearance manipulation via structured illumination, serving as a core infrastructure for spatial augmented reality, projection mapping, and surface reflectance acquisition. Existing inverse-rendering methods for ProCams deliver high-fidelity results but rely on time-consuming per-scene optimization, while mainstream feed-forward 3D reconstruction models produce baked appearance that cannot adapt to spatially varying projector illumination.

Realistic Compound-Lens Defocus Blur Synthesis

Defocus blur degrades fine image structures and limits visual perception, which can adversely affect downstream vision tasks. Although recent deep learning deblurring methods have achieved strong performance, their effectiveness depends on training data and often degrades across cameras and lenses due to limited optical diversity and realism in existing datasets.
