Fused Collapsing for Wide BVH Construction
Abstract We propose a novel approach for constructing wide bounding volume hierarchies on the GPU by integrating a simple bottom‐up collapsing procedure within an existing binary bottom‐up BVH builder. Our approach directly constructs a wide BVH without traversing a temporary binary BVH as done by previous approaches and achieves 1.4 – 1.6 × lower ...

NePO: Neural Point Octrees for Large‐Scale Novel View Synthesis
We introduce Neural Point Octrees (NePOs), a scalable radiance field representation that organises point clouds hierarchically for efficient optimisation and rendering of large scale scenes. NePOs enable level of detail selection, joint refinement of appearance and camera poses, and real‐time rendering of hundreds of millions of points.

Controllable Intrinsic Surface Pattern Generation Using Slime Mold Simulations
Abstract Surface‐based pattern simulations have proven valuable for texture design and scientific visualization, but existing methods face several limitations. Most simulations either target a narrow range of pattern types (e.g. spots, branching) or support a broad range of patterns at the cost of time‐consuming parameter tuning.

Multi‐Spectral Gaussian Splatting with Neural Color Representation
Abstract 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) [KKLD23] has transformed novel‐view synthesis from RGB images, yet remains restricted to the visible spectrum. Many applications, including agricultural monitoring, rely on multi‐spectral imaging, where spectral camera alignment and scalability pose major challenges.

Individualized Pathfinding in Rugged Open Terrains Using Semantic Navigation Meshes
We introduce semantic navigation meshes for complex outdoor terrains, partitioning space into regions with coherent semantic properties like slope or vegetation density. The resulting graphs enable efficient pathfinding with agent‐specific, parameterized cost functions without precomputation, accelerating search while maintaining path quality close to ...
