Researchers from Volvo Cars, Zenseact AB, Chalmers University, and Lund University systematically evaluated 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) for synthetic scene editing in autonomous driving. Their framework demonstrated 3DGS's capability for generating safety-critical scenarios but identified consistent fidelity degradation for dynamic objects under novel viewpoints, providing industrial guidelines for its application.
Key insights
- The integration of LiDAR data significantly improves 3DGS reconstruction quality for both static backgrounds and rigid dynamic objects, outperforming camera-only methods.
- 3DGS fidelity consistently degrades with increasing lateral spatial deviation from the original training trajectory, particularly for dynamic objects like pedestrians and vehicles, limiting generalization to novel viewpoints.
- Reconstruction quality is highly dependent on the viewpoint coverage during training, suggesting the need for 'visibility tags' for reconstructed objects to ensure reliable novel view synthesis.
