BALTIC benchmark advances 3D reconstruction across air and underwater domains

Researchers have introduced BALTIC, a new benchmark designed to evaluate 3D reconstruction methods across different environments and lighting conditions. The benchmark includes datasets for both air and underwater scenarios, with variations in lighting, motion, and scanning patterns. Experiments using COLMAP, Neural Radiance Fields, and 3D Gaussian Splatting show that Gaussian Splatting can achieve competitive results with appropriate preprocessing, though its performance degrades in complex real-world settings.
