SVLGaussian: Single View Language Gaussian Splatting

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Open‐vocabulary 3D querying based on 3D Gaussian splatting (3DGS) shows great promise in facilitating accurate 3D query capabilities of AI systems. These methods typically rely on pre‐captured multi‐view images to enable natural language interactions with 3D scenes. In practice, when embodied AI encounters unexplored scenes, it is difficult to
