GSDeformer: Direct, Real-time and Extensible Cage-based Deformation for 3D Gaussian Splatting

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2405.15491v4 Announce Type: replace We present GSDeformer, a method that enables cage-based deformation on 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS). Our approach bridges cage-based deformation and 3DGS by using a proxy point-cloud representation. This point cloud is generated from 3D Gaussians, and deformations applied to the point cloud are translated into transformations on the 3D Gaussians. To handle potential bending caused by deformation, we incorporate a splitting process to approximate it.
