KISS-GS: 3D Gaussian Splatting Compression Kept Simple

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.

GenSplatCodec: Feed-Forward Gaussian Splatting Compression via One-Step Diffusion

Feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) enables scalable scene reconstruction without per-scene optimization, yet produces dense Gaussians that are costly to store and transmit. Existing feed-forward Gaussian compression methods formulate decoding as deterministic representation recovery, which becomes inadequate at low bitrates when high-frequency textures and view-dependent appearance are discarded.

ResStreamGS: Residual-Sensitive Dual-Stream Gaussian Splatting for Mobile Volumetric Video Streaming

ResStreamGS introduces a residual‑sensitive dual‑stream framework for mobile volumetric video streaming that distinguishes temporally stable Gaussians from residual‑sensitive ones. Stable Gaussians are transmitted once per Group of Pictures, while only the residual‑sensitive Gaussians are included in the frame‑wise video stream, reducing bandwidth usage. Experiments on complex full‑scene videos show a 7.51–8.35 dB PSNR improvement over a V³‑style baseline, a payload reduction of up to 56.5%, and real‑time performance of 30.883 FPS on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G.
