Efficient 3D Gaussian Splatting with Axis-Shared Rasterization and Order-independent Transmittance

arXiv:2506.07069v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has emerged as a powerful technique for novel view synthesis, combining high-quality reconstruction with efficient rendering. It has been widely adopted in domains such as AR/VR, robotics, and autonomous driving. However, achieving real-time performance on resource-constrained platforms remains challenging due to strict power and area budgets. Prior accelerators improve hardware performance but still overlook key inefficiencies, including insufficient rasterization efficiency, poor sorting scalability, and p
