MGStream: Motion-aware 3D Gaussian for Streamable Dynamic Scene Reconstruction
This addresses streamable dynamic novel view synthesis for applications like VR/AR, but appears incremental as it builds on existing 3DGS methods.
The paper tackles flickering artifacts and storage inefficiency in streamable dynamic scene reconstruction using 3D Gaussian Splatting by introducing MGStream, which uses motion-aware 3D Gaussians for dynamics and vanilla ones for statics, achieving superior rendering quality, efficiency, and temporal consistency on N3DV and MeetRoom datasets.
3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has gained significant attention in streamable dynamic novel view synthesis (DNVS) for its photorealistic rendering capability and computational efficiency. Despite much progress in improving rendering quality and optimization strategies, 3DGS-based streamable dynamic scene reconstruction still suffers from flickering artifacts and storage inefficiency, and struggles to model the emerging objects. To tackle this, we introduce MGStream which employs the motion-related 3D Gaussians (3DGs) to reconstruct the dynamic and the vanilla 3DGs for the static. The motion-related 3DGs are implemented according to the motion mask and the clustering-based convex hull algorithm. The rigid deformation is applied to the motion-related 3DGs for modeling the dynamic, and the attention-based optimization on the motion-related 3DGs enables the reconstruction of the emerging objects. As the deformation and optimization are only conducted on the motion-related 3DGs, MGStream avoids flickering artifacts and improves the storage efficiency. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets N3DV and MeetRoom demonstrate that MGStream surpasses existing streaming 3DGS-based approaches in terms of rendering quality, training/storage efficiency and temporal consistency.
