PanoLess framework reconstructs environments from partial reflective views

Researchers have developed PanoLess, a novel framework utilizing Gaussian splatting to reconstruct surrounding environments from images captured on only one side of a reflective surface. This method leverages surface-aligned 2D Gaussian splats and deferred shading to accurately determine per-pixel normals and reflection cues. The system then fuses this information into a neural cubemap representation of the environment, also producing a visibility map indicating which regions are supported by the partial observations. PanoLess demonstrates superior performance compared to existing reflection-aware Gaussian-splatting techniques, particularly in scenarios with incomplete views, and has shown generalization to real-world reflective captures.
