05.03 Gaussian Splatting
On this page
Gaussian Splatting became more well known from a Siggraph 2023 3D Gaussian Splatting Paper . It is a technique that overcomes some of the limitations of photogrammetry when creating 3D representations from photographic sources. Since the technology is relatively new, it is computationally intensive but will likely be a large part of the future of 3D modeling and representation
Carl Friedrich Gauss was a mathematician with numerous original ideas and discoveries that influence everyone’s lives. Gaussian splats use overlapping gaussian blur “smudges” that overlap and in totality produce a coherent image.
