ObjectSplat: Improving Mesh Fidelity and Interactivity for 3D Scenes via Object-Level Mesh Splatting

Abstract

Splatting-based algorithms reconstruct photorealistic, real-time-renderable, and mesh-exportable 3D scenes from regular images, but they represent a scene as a single monolithic field. Therefore, the reconstruction has no object-level structure, leaving it infeasible for downstream editing or interaction. Moreover, regions that are never directly observed in the input scans are contaminated by the surrounding texture and left uncorrected, capping both mesh fidelity and novel-view synthesis. We propose a decompose-before-reconstruct approach: we segment the instances out of every frame, consider the remaining as background and inpaint it, reconstruct each instance and the background independently with mesh splatting, and compose them into a single scene. Our method significantly improves mesh fidelity (over a 5\% gain in F-score) and novel-view synthesis, while supporting object-wise modifiability and interactivity. The code will be made publicly available.
