Gaussian-based image representations effectively model image content using compact parametric primitives while preserving high visual fidelity, yet storing a large number of floating-point parameters per primitive degrades rate-distortion efficiency at higher fidelity targets. To improve the rate-distortion performance in Gaussian representation, we present our Cluster-Guided Vector Quantization (CGVQ), a Gaussian primitive based image compression method. Our key idea is to partition Gaussian parameters further into homogeneous groups prior to quantization, enabling higher compression efficiency and accurate parameter reconstruction. In practice, our extensive experiments show that CGVQ decreases the bpp by 20% with respect to our baseline, while maintaining on-par visual quality
Gaussian splatting (GS) has garnered significant attention in VR/AR and digital content creation due to its explicit parameterization and efficient rendering capabilities. However, existing GS-based methods for deformable objects face two key limitations: (i) illumination is erro…
3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) and recent compression schemes such as HAC++ enable high-fidelity real-time neural rendering, but their bitstreams are fragile under packet loss during network streaming. Existing compression methods often separate correlated anchor attributes into in…
Recent advances in differentiable Gaussian splatting have highlighted the potential of primitive-based approaches as alternative scene representations for interactive, high-quality, volume visualization (VolVis) of large datasets. However, the explicit nature of current primitive…
In computer graphics, visual content is continuously warped, zoomed and resampled. This occurs when engines upscale frames, users zoom into 3D scenes, or foveated VR applies varying scaling. Handling these transformations requires Arbitrary-Scale Super-Resolution (ASR). Tradition…
Recent advances in 3D content generation from text or images have achieved impressive results, yet view inconsistency from 2D generators and the scarcity of high-quality 3D data remain significant bottlenecks. Existing solutions typically adapt large-scale pre-trained text-to-ima…
Extracting structured, parametric 3D representations from raw images remains a fundamental challenge in computer vision and graphics. While recent advancements in the 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) pipeline integrate planar primitives to yield compact and editable geometry, these a…
