Yan Fang, Jianfei Ge, Jiangjian Xiao
The GTLR-GS framework enhances 3D Gaussian Splatting by actively incorporating metric geometric priors from LiDAR data throughout the reconstruction process, yielding improved visual quality and metric accuracy, especially in challenging environments. The approach employs geometry-conditioned allocation, curvature-adaptive densification, and confidence-aware metric depth regularization, demonstrating superior performance on a custom dataset with sparse views and textureless surfaces.
Key insights
- Actively leveraging metric geometric priors from LiDAR data to guide Gaussian evolution (allocation, refinement, constraint enforcement) is more effective than passive initialization.
- Intelligent, geometry-aware distribution of Gaussian primitives based on local complexity significantly improves representational efficiency and structural fidelity.
- Combining photometric rendering losses with confidence-aware metric depth regularization from LiDAR is crucial for achieving metrically accurate and stable 3D reconstructions.
