GS³ presents a self-supervised framework for pre-training point cloud encoders by integrating 3D Gaussian Splatting for efficient neural rendering. The method achieves comparable or better performance on various downstream 3D vision tasks while reducing pre-training time by approximately 9 R5 and memory consumption by over 75% relative to prior rendering-based methods.
Key insights
- 3D Gaussian Splatting offers a computationally efficient and differentiable rendering approach that significantly reduces the pre-training overhead compared to prior volume rendering methods.
- A generalizable 3DGS model, where a neural network predicts Gaussian parameters from point cloud features, enables the pre-trained encoder to adapt to new scenes and diverse downstream tasks.
- The integration of a Masked Point Modeling strategy compels the model to learn comprehensive geometric and spatial relationships by reconstructing scenes from partial point cloud observations.
