arXiv:2607. 02721v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) enables high-quality real-time novel-view synthesis, but practical scenes often contain millions of Gaussians, making compression essential for deployment on limited hardware.

KISS-GS is a modular compression pipeline for 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) scenes that separates compression from training. It first compacts a vanilla 3DGS scene by 15.7× using state‑of‑the‑art pruning, then encodes the result into the SOG‑XT image‑based format, achieving an additional 6.6× reduction. Optional encoding‑aware fine‑tuning can further cut the size by 2.2×, yielding total reductions of 85× to 319× on standard benchmarks while enabling web‑native decoding.

The paper introduces an observation‑Gram matrix that captures how each Gaussian in a 3D Gaussian Splatting model is viewed from training camera directions. This matrix serves as a distortion metric, enabling closed‑form degree reduction, Lagrangian rate‑distortion degree allocation, and matrix‑weighted vector quantisation. When applied to the Compressed3D framework, the metric improves PSNR by 0.49 dB before fine‑tuning and still yields a 0.32 dB gain at matched bitrate without any training images, while a training‑free stack built on the metric is 15% smaller than the image‑free GSICO at equal quality on Mip‑NeRF 360.

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) employs Gaussian primitives for explicit scene representation, facilitating real-time, high-fidelity reconstruction and novel view synthesis of complex scenes. However, the explicit modeling inherent in 3DGS introduces a gradient bias during optimization, rendering its non-convex optimization process highly susceptible to convergence toward local suboptimal solutions.

Gauss What You Need: Compact Gaussian Splatting Across Scene Scales introduces TangoGS, a method that automatically selects the number of Gaussian primitives for 3D Gaussian Splatting by combining capture-derived model sizing with training-based adaptation. The approach first estimates a learning allowance based on the capture’s total pixels, then adjusts the number of Gaussians during training according to reconstruction quality. On standard benchmarks, TangoGS matches the best baseline’s PSNR while using 48% fewer Gaussians, and on larger captures it scales automatically to achieve the highest mean PSNR with 2.3× more Gaussians.
