Triangle Splatting SLAM
Researchers have introduced Triangle Splatting SLAM, a novel dense RGB-D SLAM system that utilizes differentiable triangles for 3D map representation. This system builds upon the success of 3D Gaussian Splatting by employing triangles, a primitive standard in traditional rendering and game engines. The system enables online capabilities such as mesh deformation and collision checking, outperforming existing methods in 3D geometry accuracy on benchmark datasets. AI
