Abstract
A system generates initial Gaussian elements defined by parameter sets that include, for each Gaussian element a spherical harmonics (SH) coefficient array, a learnable parameter vector, and a learnable weight vector. The system performs a training process comprising rasterizing current Gaussian elements to generate a rendered image of the scene as viewable from a current camera position, wherein for each Gaussian element of the current Gaussian elements that intersects the camera ray, the system determines an opacity value for a location based on a view-dependent scaling value that depends on the current camera position, a position vector, and the learnable parameter vector.
