Segmentation of 3D Gaussians using Masked Gradients

Published: 02 December 2024 Publication History

Abstract

We present a simple yet powerful method for segmenting 3D Gaussian splatting models using 2D segmentation masks from a limited number of viewpoints. Our approach leverages inference-time gradient backpropagation, making it both easy to implement and fast enough for interactive segmentation. The underlying formulation ensures high accuracy, making this method a highly effective tool for 3D segmentation and related downstream tasks such as AR, VR, 3DGS editing, and digital twins.
