3D Gaussian Splatting in a Weekend

https://bfeldman.me/3dgs-weekend/figures/tomatoes.png
3D Gaussian Splatting is a technique that reconstructs a 3D scene from a dataset of pictures using a machine learning algorithm and Gaussian splats, which are objects that describe the geometry and color of a scene. The technique involves projecting the 3D Gaussian distribution onto 2D screen space, using a linear approximation of the perspective projection, and drawing each splat as a ...
