Realistic scene reconstruction and view synthesis are essential for advancing autonomous driving systems by simulating safety-critical scenarios. 3D Gaussian Splatting excels in real-time rendering and static scene reconstructions but struggles with modeling driving scenarios due to complex backgrounds, dynamic objects, and sparse views. We propose AutoSplat, a framework employing Gaussian splatting to achieve highly realistic reconstructions of autonomous driving scenes. By imposing geometric constraints on Gaussians representing the road and sky regions, our method enables multi-view consistent simulation of challenging scenarios including lane changes. Leveraging 3D templates, we introduce a reflected Gaussian consistency constraint to supervise both the visible and unseen side of foreground objects. Moreover, to model the dynamic appearance of foreground objects, we estimate residual spherical harmonics for each foreground Gaussian. Extensive experiments on Pandaset and KITTI demonstrate that AutoSplat outperforms state-of-the-art methods in scene reconstruction and novel view synthesis across diverse driving scenarios.

In this work for Capsule Vision Challenge 2024, we addressed the challenge of multiclass anomaly classification in video capsule Endoscopy (VCE)[1] with a variety of deep learning models, ranging from custom CNNs to advanced transformer architectures. The purpose is to correctly classify diverse gastrointestinal disorders, which is critical for increasing diagnostic efficiency in clinical settings. We started with a baseline CNN model and improved performance with ResNet[2] for better feature extraction, followed by Vision Transformer (ViT)[3] to capture global dependencies. We further improve the results by using Multiscale Vision Transformer (MViT)[4] for improved hierarchical feature extraction, while Dual Attention Vision Transformer (DaViT) [5] delivered best results by combining spatial and channel attention methods. Our best balanced accuracy on validation set [6] was 0.8592 and Mean AUC was 0.9932. This methodology enabled us to improve model accuracy across a wide range of criteria, greatly surpassing all other methods.Additionally, our team capsule commandos achieved 7th place ranking with a test set[7] performance of Mean AUC: 0.7314 and balanced accuracy: 0.3235
