In this paper, we aim to jointly model the geometry, appearance, and physical information of 3D scenes solely from dynamic multi-view videos, without relying on any physical priors. Existing works typically employ physical losses merely as soft constraints or integrate physical simulations into neural networks; however, these approaches often fail to effectively learn complex motion physics. Although modeling velocity fields holds the potential to capture authentic physical information, due to the lack of appropriate physical constraints, current methods are unable to correctly learn the interaction mechanisms between rigid and non-rigid particles. To address this, we propose VeloGauss, designed to learn the physical properties of complex dynamic 3D scenes without physical priors. Our method learns the velocity field for each Gaussian particle by introducing a Physics Code and a Particle Dynamics System, and ultimately incorporates Global Physical Constraints to ensure the physical consistency of the scene. Extensive experiments on four public datasets demonstrate that our method outperforms achieves state-of-the-art performance in both Novel View Interpolation and Future Frame Extrapolation tasks.

Learning a physical model from video data that can comprehend physical laws and predict the future trajectories of objects is a formidable challenge in artificial intelligence. Prior approaches either leverage various Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) as soft constraints in the form of PINN losses, or integrate physics simulators into neural networks; however, they often rely on strong priors or high-quality geometry reconstruction. In this paper, we propose CausalGS, a framework that learns the causal dynamics of complex dynamic 3D scenes solely from multi-view videos, while dispensing with the reliance on explicit priors. At its core is an inverse physics inference module that decouples the complex dynamics problem from the video into the joint inference of two factors: the initial velocity field representing the scene's kinematics, and the intrinsic material properties governing its dynamics. This inferred physical information is then utilized within a differentiable physics simulator to guide the learning process in a physics-regularized manner. Extensive experiments demonstrate that CausalGS surpasses the state-of-the-art on the highly challenging task of long-term future frame extrapolation, while also exhibiting advanced performance in novel view interpolation. Crucially, our work shows that, without any human annotation, the model is able to learn the complex interactions between multiple physical properties and understand the causal relationships driving the scene's dynamic evolution, solely from visual observations.

In the field of 3D dynamic scene reconstruction, how to balance model convergence rate and rendering quality has long been a critical challenge that urgently needs to be addressed, particularly in high-precision modeling of scenes with complex dynamic motions. To tackle this issue, this study proposes the GS-DMSR method. By quantitatively analyzing the dynamic evolution process of Gaussian attributes, this mechanism achieves adaptive gradient focusing, enabling it to dynamically identify significant differences in the motion states of Gaussian models. It then applies differentiated optimization strategies to Gaussian models with varying degrees of significance, thereby significantly improving the model convergence rate. Additionally, this research integrates a multi-scale manifold enhancement module, which leverages the collaborative optimization of an implicit nonlinear decoder and an explicit deformation field to enhance the modeling efficiency for complex deformation scenes. Experimental results demonstrate that this method achieves a frame rate of up to 96 FPS on synthetic datasets, while effectively reducing both storage overhead and training time.Our code and data are available at https://anonymous.4open.science/r/GS-DMSR-2212.
