TreeSplat: Mergeable Tree for Deformable Gaussian Splatting

Neural Information Processing Systems 

Dynamic 3D scene reconstruction from multi-view videos demands representation to model complex deformations at scale. Current Gaussian Splatting based methods often either suffer from significant computation cost due to dense MLP-based modeling or explicit modeling deformation of each Gaussian independently. However, the dynamics of objects within a scene are typically hierarchical and exhibit structural correlations.
