Budgeted-GS: Real-Time Large-Scale Gaussian Splatting via Factoring LOD

Budgeted-GS is a post‑hoc technique that transforms any trained 3D Gaussian Splatting model into a factoring tree—a multi‑resolution hierarchy of moment‑matched aggregates. After a brief construction pass, a single quality parameter selects the appropriate level of detail for each view, allowing the same city‑scale model to run in real time on GPUs with varying memory capacities. The method also informs budget‑centered training, enabling models to be built directly at the necessary size and avoiding wasted optimization of later discarded primitives.
