LP-Gaussians: Learnable Parametric Gaussian Splatting for Efficient Dynamic Reconstruction of Single-View Scenes

Abstract

With the popularity of short video platforms, the number of single-view videos has increased significantly. Existing NeRF-based methods can reconstruct dynamic scenes in a single-view setting, but slow rendering speed and low rendering quality limit their practical applications. To address these challenges, we propose a fast single-view scenes reconstruction framework based on 3D Gaussian Splatting. Our method uses point clouds obtained with depth priors as the Gaussian initialization and introduces learnable parametric functions to model the time-dependent deformation of Gaussians. The explicit deformation modeling for Gaussians significantly reduces training and rendering time. Furthermore, to improve the rendering quality of challenging areas, we adopt an adaptive sampling strategy to densify Gaussians. For occlusion problems from single-view videos, we design a smooth loss function to restore the color of the occluded areas. Experimental results demonstrate that our method significantly reduces training time, enhances rendering quality, and accelerates rendering speed. Project page: https://github.com/LPGaussians.
