Dynamic scene reconstruction represents a fundamental yet demanding challenge in computer vision and robotics. While recent progress in 3DGS-based methods has advanced dynamic scene modeling, obtaining high-fidelity rendering and accurate tracking in scenarios with substantial, intricate motions remains significantly challenging. To address these challenges, we propose PaMoSplat, a novel dynamic Gaussian splatting framework incorporating part awareness and motion priors. Our approach is grounded in two key observations: 1) Parts serve as primitives for scene deformation, and 2) Motion cues from optical flow can effectively guide part motion. Specifically, PaMoSplat initializes by lifting multi-view segmentation masks into 3D space via graph clustering, establishing coherent Gaussian parts. For subsequent timestamps, we leverage a differential evolutionary algorithm to estimate the rigid motion of these parts using multi-view optical flow cues, providing a robust warm-start for further optimization. Additionally, PaMoSplat introduces an adaptive iteration count mechanism, internal learnable rigidity, and flow-supervised rendering loss to accelerate and optimize the training process. Comprehensive evaluations across diverse scenes, including real-world environments, demonstrate that PaMoSplat delivers superior rendering quality, improved tracking precision, and faster convergence compared to existing methods. Furthermore, it enables multiple part-level downstream applications, such as 4D scene editing.

In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in open-vocabulary 3D scene reconstruction facilitated by visual language models (VLMs), which showcase remarkable capabilities in open-set retrieval. However, existing methods face some limitations: they either focus on learning point-wise features, resulting in blurry semantic understanding, or solely tackle object-level reconstruction, thereby overlooking the intricate details of the object's interior. To address these challenges, we introduce OpenObj, an innovative approach to build open-vocabulary object-level Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) with fine-grained understanding. In essence, OpenObj establishes a robust framework for efficient and watertight scene modeling and comprehension at the object-level. Moreover, we incorporate part-level features into the neural fields, enabling a nuanced representation of object interiors. This approach captures object-level instances while maintaining a fine-grained understanding. The results on multiple datasets demonstrate that OpenObj achieves superior performance in zero-shot semantic segmentation and retrieval tasks. Additionally, OpenObj supports real-world robotics tasks at multiple scales, including global movement and local manipulation.
