In our most recent draft, we introduced the MiraGe model, which represents 2D images using flat Gaussian components, achieving state-of-the-art reconstruction quality.
MiraGe enables the manipulation of 2D images within 3D space, creating the illusion of 3D effects. We integrate MiraGe with a physics engine, enabling physics-based modifications and interactions for both 2D and 3D environments.
Our work has been featured at UniteAI: Image Editing with Gaussian Splatting by Martin Andersson.
The paper was co-authored by Joanna Waczynska (first author!) and Piotr Borycki, who are both currently visiting postgraduate students with the Cyber-Human Lab (CHL). This research represents another effect of the ongoing collaboration between Prof Przemyslaw Spurek from Jagiellonian Univeristy in Krakow and Dr Slawomir Tadeja and Dr Thomas Bohné w CHL.
