Turn Yourself into a 3D Gaussian Splat

A Hands-on Guide for Practitioners

Last summer a non-deep learning method for novel view synthesis has entered the game: 3D Gaussian splattig. It is a method to represent a scene in 3D and to render images in real-time from any viewing direction. Some even say they are replacing NeRFs, the predominant method for novel view synthesis and implicit scene representation at that time. I think that is debatable since NeRFs are much more than image renderers. But that is …
