Measurable Semantic 3D Gaussian Splatting with Joint Region and Depth Supervision for Interactive Building Inspection

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper introduces a measurable semantic 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) framework that uses region and depth supervision to improve building inspection from multi‑view imagery. Mask‑based region supervision focuses optimization on target areas, while point‑wise depth supervision aligns Gaussian centers with physical surfaces derived from multi‑view stereo point clouds. The resulting semantic Gaussian field enables component‑level inspection and is deployed in the AEC‑SplatTwin platform, achieving significant reductions in depth error and high semantic segmentation accuracy on UAV‑inspected and smartphone‑captured datasets.

PointGauss: Point Cloud-Guided Multi-Object Segmentation for Gaussian Splatting

PointGauss is a 3D-native framework that performs semantic parsing and instance segmentation on 3D Gaussian splatting representations by treating Gaussian primitives as unstructured point sets and extracting scale‑invariant geometric features with Point Transformer V3. It introduces an adaptive region‑of‑interest cropping strategy and an instance‑aware distance‑constrained rasterization pipeline to enable scalable, view‑consistent pixel‑level projections. The authors also release SplatSeg‑360, a cross‑scale benchmark with 32 complex scenes and over 6,300 aligned 2D‑3D masks, and show that PointGauss achieves real‑time performance with state‑of‑the‑art 3D‑mIoU (~90%) and 2D‑mIoU (~80%) scores.

GaussianDS: Depth-supervised Semantic Gaussian Splatting for Scene Understanding

GaussianDS introduces a depth‑supervised framework for 3D Gaussian Splatting that jointly optimizes RGB appearance, depth, and compact semantics from scratch. By arranging multi‑view images into a pose‑aware pseudo‑video and propagating view‑consistent masks via SAM2, the method aligns semantic lifting with geometric cues, using depth supervision and edge‑aware refinement to curb semantic drift and boundary leakage. The approach achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on LERF and 3D‑OVS benchmarks while preserving high‑fidelity reconstruction and enabling downstream tasks such as 3D object removal.

MEGA: Object-Level Mesh Extraction from 3D Gaussian Splatting via Spatial Visual Distillation

MEGA is a new framework that extracts object-level, watertight meshes from 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) scenes. It uses a segment-then-mesh approach, leveraging Spatial Visual Distillation (SVD) to sample diverse camera views of each segmented object and train a mesh reconstruction model with photometric supervision. Experiments on popular benchmarks show that MEGA outperforms existing methods in accurately recovering object-level 3D occupancy and supports complex physical interactions by combining high-quality meshes with photorealistic 3DGS rendering.
