T-3DGS, a framework for 3D scene reconstruction, effectively removes transient and semi-transient objects from unconstrained video sequences using 3D Gaussian Splatting. It achieves higher fidelity static scene reconstructions with improved PSNR, SSIM, and LPIPS scores on benchmark datasets, including a newly introduced challenging dataset, by employing unsupervised uncertainty prediction and temporal mask refinement.

Key insights

  • Effective unsupervised transient detection can be achieved by leveraging semantic feature consistency differences and a multivariate uncertainty model with KL divergence between real and rendered images, improving robustness over RGB residuals.
  • Robustly handling semi-transient objects requires a multi-stage temporal mask propagation strategy that combines spatial refinement and consistent tracking across varying frame rates.
  • Mask dilation around transient objects, rather than exact masks, consistently improves reconstruction quality and aids in the training stability of the uncertainty predictor.
