Differentiable Rasterization

Differentiable rasterization is a technique that makes the process of converting 3D geometric representations into 2D images computationally differentiable, enabling gradient-based optimization for various inverse graphics problems. Current research focuses on improving the efficiency and accuracy of differentiable rasterization within different 3D model architectures, such as Gaussian splatting and mesh-based representations, often incorporating optimization techniques like Levenberg-Marquardt and reinforcement learning for faster convergence and higher-quality results. This approach has significant implications for applications like 3D reconstruction, novel view synthesis, and autonomous driving, offering improvements in speed, accuracy, and the ability to handle complex scenes and geometries.
