iSegMan provides an interactive framework for segmenting and manipulating 3D scenes represented by Gaussian splats. It combines epipolar geometry and visibility-based voting for precise region control and offers a versatile toolbox for edits like semantic modification, scaling, and copying, achieving real-time interaction and accurate manipulation.

Key insights

  • Epipolar geometry efficiently propagates user 2D clicks across multiple views, reducing the search space for corresponding points and generating consistent 2D segmentation masks.
  • Modeling 3D Gaussian selection as a visibility-based voting process from 2D segmentation masks enables robust region extraction, even in the presence of occlusions.
  • Iteratively optimizing 3D Gaussian parameters based on text-guided 2D image edits allows for powerful semantic manipulation of selected 3D regions without requiring scene-specific training.
