用几何引导的蒸馏法,把大模型压缩30倍仍保持高质量渲染和定位精度。
G$^2$ARD-GS: Geometry-Guided Anchor-Regularized Gaussian Splatting Distillation

- 通过几何约束逐步合并点云,生成表面感知的紧凑表示。
- 在5~30倍压缩下,PSNR比现有方法高3.2~6.8dB,LPIPS更优。
- 适合需要轻量化3D地图的自动驾驶、机器人定位等场景。
密集彩色激光雷达地图提供高精度城市级几何信息,但直接转化为3D高斯点阵后会生成数百万个基础元素,导致存储、传输、渲染和适配成本高昂。过度简化虽减轻负担,却可能破坏用于稳定新视角合成的局部表面支撑。本文提出G$^2$ARD-GS,一种几何引导的蒸馏方法,可将密集高斯先验(无论是训练无关的点云提升还是训练好的GS模型)转换为紧凑且可复用的表示。该方法逐步将先验凝聚为表面感知的代表点,在构建时通过锚点约束恢复外观,整个过程不增删任何基础元素。在有限监督下,几何感知视图选择合理分配可用视图预算。在MatrixCity数据集上,G$^2$ARD-GS在匹配的5×–30×压缩率下均取得最优的PSNR、SSIM与LPIPS表现,相比PUP提升3.2–6.8 dB;当作为冻结几何使用时,其在非轨迹上的外观适应性能提升3.7–4.9 dB,且在Cambridge KingsCollege场景下,30×压缩仍保持图像到模型的注册精度。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Dense colored LiDAR maps provide accurate city-scale geometry, but lifting them into 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) retains millions of primitives, making the resulting models costly to store, transmit, render, and adapt. Aggressive primitive reduction alleviates this burden, but can remove the local surface support needed for stable novel-view synthesis and downstream geometric use. We introduce G$^2$ARD-GS, a geometry-guided distillation method that converts a dense Gaussian prior instantiated either as a training-free point-cloud lift or a trained GS model into a compact, reusable representation. G$^2$ARD-GS progressively consolidates the prior into surface-aware representatives, then recovers appearance on the resulting fixed topology under construction-time anchor constraints, with no primitives added or removed during recovery. Under limited supervision, geometry-aware view selection allocates the available view budget. On MatrixCity, G$^2$ARD-GS achieves the best PSNR, SSIM, and LPIPS across matched $5\times$--$30\times$ compression budgets, outperforming PUP by $3.2$--$6.8$,dB in PSNR. When reused as frozen geometry, the compact model improves off-trajectory appearance adaptation by $3.7$--$4.9$,dB over PUP 3D-GS and preserves image-to-model registration accuracy on Cambridge KingsCollege at $30\times$ compression.
