| contents | Gaussian Splatting (GS) is a recent and pivotal technique in 3D computer graphics. GS-based algorithms almost always bypass classical methods such as ray tracing, which offer numerous inherent advantages for rendering. For example, ray tracing can handle incoherent rays for advanced lighting effects, including shadows and reflections. To address this limitation, we introduce MeshSplats, a method which converts GS to a mesh-like format. Following the completion of training, MeshSplats transforms Gaussian elements into mesh faces, enabling rendering using ray tracing methods with all their associated benefits. Our model can be utilized immediately following transformation, yielding a mesh of slightly reduced reconstruction quality without additional training. Furthermore, we can enhance the quality by applying a dedicated optimization algorithm that operates on mesh faces rather than Gaussian components. Importantly, MeshSplats acts as a wrapper, converting pre-trained GS models into a ray-traceable format. The efficacy of our method is substantiated by experimental results, underscoring its extensive applications in computer graphics and image processing. |
