Researchers have developed a new method for constructing canonical Gaussians in video representation, called the Affine-Aligned Atlas. This approach aims to improve the efficiency and quality of Gaussian splatting for videos, particularly those with significant global motion like camera movement. By incorporating frame-wise affine transforms into a larger atlas space before canonical Gaussian construction, the method reduces the misalignment between canonical representations and target frames, thereby easing the burden on temporal deformation models. The Affine-Aligned Atlas can be integrated into existing Gaussian-based methods with minimal additional parameter cost and has shown improved reconstruction quality in experiments. AI
