However, leveraging 3D Gaussians for surface reconstruction poses si gnificant challenges due to the explicit and disconnected nature of 3D Gau ssians. In this work, we present Gaussian Opacity Fields (GOF), a novel ap proach for efficient, high-quality, and adaptive surface reconstruction in unbounded scenes. Our GOF is derived from ray-tracing-based volume render ing of 3D Gaussians, enabling direct geometry extraction from 3D Gaussians by identifying its levelset, without resorting to Poisson reconstruction or TSDF fusion as in previous work. We approximate the surface normal of G aussians as the normal of the ray-Gaussian intersection plane, enabling th e application of regularization that significantly enhances geometry. Furt hermore, we develop an efficient geometry extraction method utilizing Marc hing Tetrahedra, where the tetrahedral grids are induced from 3D Gaussians and thus adapt to the scene's complexity. Our evaluations reveal that GOF surpasses existing 3DGS-based methods in surface reconstruction and novel view synthesis. Further, it compares favorably to or even outperforms, ne ural implicit methods in both quality and speed.\n\nRegistration Category: Full Access, Full Access Supporter\n\nLanguage Format: English Language\n \nSession Chair: Hao (Richard) Zhang (Simon Fraser University, Amazon) URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2024/program/?id=papers_544&sess=sess145 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
