Non-Uniform Quantisation for 3DGS Compression

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper introduces a non‑uniform quantisation scheme designed for 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) models, addressing their high bitrate demands. By applying importance‑weighted quantisation and merging, the method adapts to the data distribution and removes post‑voxelisation redundancy. Experiments on benchmark datasets show state‑of‑the‑art compression performance, and the scheme is compatible with any point‑cloud representation, positioning it as a candidate for future MPEG 3DGS standardisation.

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.

Only What Was Seen: Observation-Gram Compaction of View-Dependent Appearance in 3D Gaussian Splatting

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.
