Pour ce rendu, j’ai effectué plusieurs itérations afin d’atteindre le résultat attendu au moment de la capture. J’ai observé des artefacts apparaissant dans les zones où des piétons traversaient la scène. 3 tests d’entraînement Gaussian avec différents paramètres et datasets.

For this render, I went through several iterations in order to reach the result I was expecting at the time of capture. I observed artifacts appearing in areas where pedestrians crossed the scene. 3 Gaussian training tests with different components and datasets.
1 — Interactive scene
Gaussian Splatting — navigable scene (SuperSplat viewer)
2 — Traveling “Pont 1”
Les artefacts se révèlent là où je croise des piétons
Artifacts are revealed where I cross into pedestrians
