Most GS-based algorithms do not use classical methods such as ray tracing, which offer numerous inherent advantages in rendering. For example, ray tracing can handle incoherent rays to create advanced lighting effects, including shadows and reflections. To address this issue, we introduce MeshSplats, a method that converts GS into a mesh-like format. After training is complete, MeshSplats transforms Gaussian elements into mesh faces, enabling rendering using ray tracing methods with all their associated benefits. Our model can be used immediately after transformation, yielding a mesh without additional training, with only a slight reduction in reconstruction quality. We can improve the quality by applying a dedicated optimization algorithm that operates on mesh faces rather than Gaussian components. Importantly, MeshSplats acts as a wrapper, converting pre-trained GS models into a ray-traceable format. The effectiveness of our method is substantiated by experimental results, underscoring its wide-ranging applications in computer graphics and image processing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Authors: Rafa\u0142 Tobiasz, Grzegorz Wilczy\u0144ski, Marcin Mazur, S\u0142awomir Tadeja, Weronika Smolak-Dy\u017cewska, Przemys\u0142aw Spurek<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:64px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-grid wp-container-core-group-is-layout-5ab56a3c wp-block-group-is-layout-grid\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-grid wp-container-core-group-is-layout-5ab56a3c wp-block-group-is-layout-grid\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"template":"","nazwa-konferencji":[48],"rodzaj-publikacji":[13],"rok-publikacji":[27],"class_list":["post-2258","publikacje","type-publikacje","status-publish","hentry","nazwa-konferencji-konferencja-iccs","rodzaj-publikacji-artykul-konferencyjny","rok-publikacji-27"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>MeshSplats: Mesh-Based Rendering with Gaussian Splatting Initialization &#8226; IDEAS Instytut Badawczy<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ideas.edu.pl\/en\/publikacje\/meshsplats-mesh-based-rendering-with-gaussian-splatting-initialization\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"MeshSplats: Mesh-Based Rendering with Gaussian Splatting Initialization &#8226; IDEAS Instytut Badawczy\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Gaussian Splatting (GS) is an emerging, pivotal technique in 3D computer graphics.
