Transformer-based neural network renders 3D Gaussian splats directly

Researchers have developed GaussianRenderFormer, a novel transformer-based neural network designed to render 3D Gaussian splats directly into images without relying on traditional rasterization techniques. This model treats each Gaussian as a token, enabling a view-independent encoder and a view-dependent decoder to generate pixels from camera rays. While trained on a large dataset of objects, GaussianRenderFormer achieved a PSNR of 38.08 dB on unseen objects, falling short of traditional rasterization methods which reached 44.02 dB with the same input.

    GaussianRenderFormer: Transformer-based Rendering of 3D Gaussian Splats

    arXiv:2611.05593v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Can a neural network learn to render 3D Gaussian splats on its own, with no rasterizer in the renderer? We present GaussianRenderFormer, a transformer that takes a set of Gaussians and a camera and outputs the image directly. Each…
