Dynamic 3D scene reconstruction is essential for immersive media such as VR, MR, and XR, yet remains challenging for long multi-view sequences with large-scale motion. Existing dynamic Gaussian approaches are either Frame-Stream, offering scalability but poor temporal stability, or Clip, achieving l
3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) represents scenes through primitives with coupled intrinsic properties: geometric attributes (position, covariance, opacity) and appearance attributes (view-dependent color). Faithful reconstruction requires intrinsic geometry-appearance consistency, where geometry accur
The quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) holds promise for combinatorial optimization but is constrained by limited qubits. While divide-and-conquer frameworks like QAOA$^2$ address scalability by partitioning graphs into subgraphs, existing methods suffer from two fundamental limitatio…
Reconstructing 3D scenes from multi-view image sequences remains a significant challenge in practical applications.
