🚀 New paper: ConeGS Error-Guided Densification Using Pixel Cones. We improve 3D Gaussian Splatting by placing Gaussians where they matter most: ConeGS adds primitives along pixel-view cones guided by image error, boosting quality with fewer Gaussians. baranowskibrt.github.io/conegs/

At #ICML, you can just use scholar inbox to help you find your way through the poster sessions. It just sorts the papers according to your preferences and it really works.

I am in Vancouver at ICML, and tomorrow I will present our newest paper "Partially Observable Reinforcement Learning with Memory Traces". We argue that eligibility traces are more effective than sliding windows as a memory mechanism for RL in POMDPs. 🧵

Scaling 4D Representations

Self-supervised learning from video does scale! In our latest work, we scaled masked auto-encoding models to 22B params, boosting performance on pose estimation, tracking & more.

📢 New paper CVPR 25!
Can meshes capture fuzzy geometry? Volumetric Surfaces uses adaptive textured shells to model hair, fur without the splatting / volume overhead. It’s fast, looks great, and runs in real time even on budget phones.

Excited to present our #CVPR2025 paper DepthSplat next week!
DepthSplat is a feed-forward model that achieves high-quality Gaussian reconstruction and view synthesis in just 0.6 seconds.
Looking forward to great conversations at the conference!
🏠 Introducing DepthSplat: a framework that connects Gaussian splatting with single- and multi-view depth estimation. This enables robust depth modeling and high-quality view synthesis with state-of-the-art results on ScanNet, RealEstate10K, and DL3DV.

🚗 Pseudo-simulation combines the efficiency of open-loop and robustness of closed-loop evaluation. It uses real data + 3D Gaussian Splatting synthetic views to assess error recovery, achieving strong correlation with closed-loop simulations while requiring 6x less compute. arxiv.org/abs/2506.04218
