In the realm of 3D scene reconstruction, NeRFs are the go-to choice for their stunning photorealism. However, 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) is giving NeRFs a run for their money by offering a similar level of quality at lightning-fast rendering speeds. While both methods shine in controlled environments, handling in-the-wild data with occlusions and dynamic elements is still a hurdle. Introducing WildGaussians – a cutting-edge approach that combines DINO features and an appearance modeling module within 3DGS to tackle these challenges head-on. This innovative method not only matches real-time rendering capabilities but also outperforms NeRFs and 3DGS in handling unpredictable scenarios.
