RGS: Reflection-aware Gaussian Splatting via Learning Geometry Continuity for Reflective Objects

The paper introduces Reflection-aware Gaussian Splatting (RGS), a physically-based deferred rendering framework that improves novel view synthesis for reflective objects. RGS leverages a powerful 3D foundation model to provide a strong geometric prior and employs cross-view shape consistency regularization to prevent surface collapse and reduce geometric hollows. Additionally, a reflection-aware densification strategy captures specular variations across views, resulting in higher-quality renderings of reflective objects.

TruncGradGS: Improved 3D Gaussian Splatting via Truncated Gradient Updates

The paper introduces TruncGradGS, a piecewise truncated gradient approach that mitigates gradient vanishing in 3D Gaussian Splatting, enhancing optimization stability and robustness to initializations. It demonstrates consistent improvements over random and COLMAP initializations in both static and dynamic settings. Additionally, the authors highlight limitations of existing dynamic scene benchmarks and present a new synthetic dataset for evaluating dynamic Gaussian Splatting.
