Codec-Compatible Learned Compression for 3D Gaussian Splatting

Abstract

Video-based 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) compression methods provide a practical route by representing Gaussian attributes as 2D maps and coding them with standard video codecs. Among these maps, high-dimensional non-DC spherical harmonics (SH-AC) maps contain the largest number of channels and account for a dominant portion of the bitstream. However, their statistics differ substantially from those of natural images, and the nonlinear dependencies among SH-AC coefficients remain insufficiently exploited. To address these issues, we propose CCT-GS, a Codec-Compatible learned Transform framework for 3DGS compression. CCT-GS first learns a generalized SH-AC transform that captures cross-scene regularities and converts SH-AC maps into compact codec-friendly bottleneck maps. It further introduces LoRA-based scene adaptation to recover scene-specific appearance details with lightweight side information. Experiments on MPEG GSC sequences demonstrate that CCT-GS consistently outperforms representative video-based baselines, achieving an average BD-rate reduction of 51.30% over the video-based anchor.

Discovering shared interpretable operations in image compression autoencoders

With the increasing adoption of deep learning for applications such as image compression, improvements in the rate-distortion trade-off have been achieved at the cost of increasingly larger and more opaque ''black-box'' models. Autoencoders are among the most widely used architectures for this task; however, without a clear understanding of their internal behavior, these models tend to grow in complexity to achieve more performance gains. In this paper, we investigate whether universal behaviors can be detected from the internal operations of bias-free autoencoders through Jacobian analysis. If such behaviors exist, they may be extracted to design low-complexity image compression models inspired by high-complexity deep learning architectures.

SCoPE-Reg: Efficient Rigid Ultrasound Slice-to-Volume Registration via State-Space Correlation and Closed-Form Pose Estimation

Ultrasound-guided interventions can require localization of an untracked 2D frame within a 3D anatomical reference. Rigid slice-to-volume registration (SVR) estimates this six-degree-of-freedom pose but remains challenging because of limited anatomical context, acoustic artifacts, and view-dependent appearance. Existing methods often use dense cross-attention, whose cost scales with the product of slice and volume token counts, or direct pose regression that lacks explicit correspondence constraints. We introduce SCoPE-Reg, combining dual-input state-space slice-volume interaction, dense 3D coordinate prediction, and parameter-free weighted Kabsch estimation. On SVR tasks from CAMUS and $μ$-RegPro, SCoPE-Reg yields mean target registration errors of $0.73$ mm and $2.27$ mm against $1.24$ mm and $2.63$ mm for the best-performing baseline, reduces peak error on CAMUS by 56% ($12.5\to5.5$ mm), and registers $100%$ and $80%$ of frames within $3$mm. On CAMUS at $128^2$ it retains the lowest error at increasing pose-perturbation magnitude. It holds $6.49$ M parameters independent of resolution, sustaining $51$ FPS at $512^2$. By coupling correspondence-based accuracy with bounded worst-case error and resolution-independent cost, SCoPE-Reg becomes viable at native acquisition resolution during intervention, whereas previous methods had to compromise on accuracy, reliability or frame rate.

Blind Video Denoising for Vocal Tract rtMRI using a Self-Supervised Ensemble

Real-time magnetic resonance imaging of the vocal tract makes speech articulation directly observable, but the trade-off between temporal resolution and signal quality introduces substantial noise and obscures fine articulatory detail. Since clean references cannot be acquired for a moving vocal tract, supervised denoising approaches are not applicable in this setting. We propose a self-supervised denoising framework that combines spatiotemporal super-resolution learning with pseudo-supervision derived from a variance-stabilized non-local means filter. A dual-model fusion strategy balances noise suppression and preservation of high-frequency articulatory structure. Experiments on the USC-75 multi-speaker dataset under natural noise conditions show that the ensemble raises the signal-to-noise ratio by 11.9 dB on unseen subjects while attaining more high-frequency articulatory content in the frames. Among tuned implementations of anisotropic diffusion, block-matching filtering, non-local means and pre-smoothed non-local means, every configuration that achieves comparable noise suppression does so at the cost of high-frequency content or of structural fidelity. Under severe added Gaussian, Rayleigh and Rician noise, peak signal-to-noise ratio improves by 7.6 to 11.8 dB and structural similarity roughly triples. An ablation shows that the variance-stabilized pseudo-supervision is an essential element for denoising, and that the effect is attributable to the hard thresholding contained in the stabilization transform.
