UVGS: Reimagining Unstructured 3D Gaussian Splatting using UV Mapping

https://aashishrai3799.github.io/uvgs Figure 1 . We propose UVGS -an structured image-like representation for 3DGS obtained by spherical mapping of its primitives. The obtained UVGS maps can be further unified to a 3-channel Super UVGS image to bridging the gap between 3DGS and existing image foundation models. We show Super UVGS can compress the 3DGS assets using pretrained image Autoencoders, and for direct unconditional and conditional 3DGS object generation using diffusion models. We also present one of the first experiments on 3DGS inpainting.
