The paper introduces a compact neural appearance model for 3D Gaussian Splatting that replaces traditional low‑order spherical harmonics (SH) with a tiny shared MLP decoding per‑primitive latent codes. It compares SH with recent spherical appearance models, integrating all into a unified CUDA rasterizer and WebGL viewer, and demonstrates that the new neural representation reduces per‑primitive appearance storage from 192 to 28 bytes, speeds optimization by 1.3×, and improves reconstruction quality. The study also analyzes how different appearance parametrizations affect geometry recovery and the handling of non‑static scene content.

We study sinusoidal recurrence as an iterative mechanism for harmonic spectral enrichment in implicit neural representations (INRs). Our analysis reveals that sinusoidal activations induce a harmonic line spectrum, providing a spectral account of how recurrent unrolling enriches the effective spectral support.
