Geometry Gaussians: Decoupling Appearance and Geometry in Gaussian Splatting
arXiv 2606.05124·low signal
Zhou and Lähner extend 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) — popular for novel view synthesis — to better recover geometric surfaces by decoupling appearance from geometry. The split aims to make 3DGS usable for surface reconstruction, not just rendering. Relevant to 3D content, AR/VR, and reconstruction pipelines.
