通过缩短像素对应的高斯列表，显著提升3D高斯溅射的训练效率。

3D Gaussian splatting (3DGS) has become a vital tool for learning a radiance field from multiple posed images. Although 3DGS shows great advantages over NeRF in terms of rendering quality and efficiency, it remains a research challenge to further improve the efficiency of learning 3D Gaussians. To overcome this challenge, we propose novel training strategies and losses to shorten each Gaussian list used to render a pixel, which speeds up the splatting by involving fewer Gaussians along a ray. Specifically, we shrink the size of each Gaussian by resetting their scales regularly, encouraging smaller Gaussians to cover fewer nearby pixels, which shortens the Gaussian lists of pixels. Additionally, we introduce an entropy constraint on the alpha blending procedure to sharpen the weight distribution of Gaussians along each ray, which drives dominant weights larger while making minor weights smaller. As a result, each Gaussian becomes more focused on the pixels where it is dominant, which reduces its impact on nearby pixels, leading to even shorter Gaussian lists. Eventually, we integrate our method into a rendering resolution scheduler which further improves efficiency through progressive resolution increase. We evaluate our method by comparing it with state-of-the-art methods on widely used benchmarks. Our results show significant advantages over others in efficiency without sacrificing rendering quality.
