Ref-DGS: Reflective Dual Gaussian Splatting

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2603.07664v1 Announce Type: new Reflective appearance, especially strong and typically near-field specular reflections, poses a fundamental challenge for accurate surface reconstruction and novel view synthesis. Existing Gaussian splatting methods either fail to model near-field specular reflections or rely on explicit ray tracing at substantial computational cost. We present Ref-DGS, a reflective dual Gaussian splatting framework that addresses this trade-off by decoupling surface reconstruction from specular reflection within an efficient rasterization-based pipeline.
