TopoSurfel: Closing the Loop between Gaussian Surfels and Meshes for Surface Reconstruction

TopoSurfel tackles a long-standing pain point in 3D Gaussian Splatting: turning unstructured splats into clean surfaces. The method uses a differentiable proxy mesh to guide surfel evolution, aiming to cut …

SurfFill: Completion of LiDAR Point Clouds via Gaussian Surfel Splatting

LiDAR point clouds still miss thin geometry and dark materials, and this paper attacks that gap with a completion pipeline built around Gaussian surfel splatting. For teams doing scan-based asset …
