EffGS: Efficient and High-Fidelity Gaussian Splatting

arXiv:2609.39553v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) enables real-time novel view synthesis, but existing general-purpose acceleration methods suffer severe rendering quality degradation when extended to more complex, large-scale scenes. To address this issue, we propose EffGS, a more general acceleration framework that improves training and rendering efficiency while maintaining reconstruction quality comparable to or better than vanilla 3DGS across bounded and large-scale scenes. EffGS combines frequency-aware guidance, localized density control, and adaptive primitive scale modulation. First, an importance scoring mechanism combines pixel-wise reconstruction errors with a difference-of-Gaussians mask scheduled over training to provide stage-dependent spatial guidance. Second, localized densification and pruning restricts density modifications to Gaussians with valid projected footprints in the sampled views. Third, learnable per-Gaussian scale modulation adjusts effective primitive extent during optimization while retaining the Compact Box rasterization rule. Extensive experiments on bounded and large-scale scene datasets demonstrate a favorable balance between reconstruction quality, training time, and primitive count. Component ablations and matched-primitive-budget comparisons further support the effectiveness of the framework.
