GaussianSpline: Adaptive Bézier Splines for Highly Dynamic 4D Gaussian Splatting

We present an approach for high-quality dynamic Gaussian Splatting from monocular videos. To this end, we in this work go one step further beyond previous methods to explicitly model continuous position and orientation deformation of dynamic Gaussians, using an SE(3) B-spline motion bases with a compact set of control points. To improve computational efficiency while enhancing the ability to model complex motions, an adaptive control mechanism is devised to dynamically adjust the number of motion bases and control points. Besides, we develop a soft segment reconstruction strategy to mitigate long-interval motion interference, and employ a multi-view diffusion model to provide multi-view cues for avoiding overfitting to training views. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art methods in novel view synthesis. Our code is available at https://github.com/hhhddddddd/se3bsplinegs.

Recent 4D Gaussian Splatting (4DGS) methods often fail under fast motion with large inter-frame displacements, where Gaussian attributes are poorly learned during training, and fast-moving objects are often lost from the reconstruction. In this work, we introduce Spatiotemporal Position Implicit Network for 4DGS, coined SPIN-4DGS, which learns Gaussian attributes from explicitly collected spatiotemporal positions rather than modeling temporal displacements, thereby enabling more faithful splatting under fast motions with large inter-frame displacements. To avoid the heavy memory overhead of explicitly optimizing attributes across all spatiotemporal positions, we instead predict them with a lightweight feed-forward network trained under a rasterization-based reconstruction loss. Consequently, SPIN-4DGS learns shared representations across Gaussians, effectively capturing spatiotemporal consistency and enabling stable high-quality Gaussian splatting even under challenging motions. Across extensive experiments, SPIN-4DGS consistently achieves higher fidelity under large displacements, with clear improvements in PSNR and SSIM on challenging sports scenes from the CMU Panoptic dataset. For example, SPIN-4DGS notably outperforms the strongest baseline, D3DGS, by achieving +1.83 higher PSNR on the Basketball scene.

Recent 4D Gaussian Splatting (4DGS) methods achieve impressive dynamic scene reconstruction but often rely on piecewise linear velocity approximations and short temporal windows. This disjointed modeling leads to severe temporal fragmentation, forcing primitives to be repeatedly eliminated and regenerated to track complex nonlinear dynamics. This makeshift approximation eliminates the long-term temporal identity of objects and causes an inevitable proliferation of Gaussians, hindering scalability to extended video sequences. To address this, we propose TRiGS, a novel 4D representation that utilizes unified, continuous geometric transformations. By integrating $SE(3)$ transformations, hierarchical Bezier residuals, and learnable local anchors, TRiGS models geometrically consistent rigid motions for individual primitives. This continuous formulation preserves temporal identity and effectively mitigates unbounded memory growth. Extensive experiments demonstrate that TRiGS achieves high fidelity rendering on standard benchmarks while uniquely scaling to extended video sequences (e.g., 600 to 1200 frames) without severe memory bottlenecks, significantly outperforming prior works in temporal stability.
