Gaussian Video Transformer advances video representation with 2DGS tokenization

Researchers have developed the Gaussian Video Transformer (GVT), a novel framework for video representation that utilizes a feed-forward 2D Gaussian Splatting (2DGS) tokenization scheme. This approach enhances spatial adaptability by dynamically assigning rendering weights based on information content and improves generalization by avoiding per-video optimization. The GVT also incorporates a Gaussian Set Partitioning strategy to separate static and dynamic content, enabling more compact representations. Evaluations across video reconstruction, action recognition, compression, and generation tasks show state-of-the-art performance in reconstruction and compression, with competitive results in other areas.

    Versatile Video Representation via Feed-Forward 2D Gaussian Splatting Tokenization

    arXiv:2508.11183v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent video representation methods that rely on fixed-grid, patch-wise tokenization often exhibit limited versatility.Spatially, uniformly allocating a fixed number of tokens often leads to over-encoding in low-information regi…
