UniTriSplat: A Unified 3D Gaussian Splatting Framework with Uniform Spherical Rasterization for Universal Cameras
Abstract
Existing 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) frameworks rely oncamera-specix001Cc rasterization, sux001Bering from inconsistent solid-angle sam-pling and degraded performance across heterogeneous camera models(e.g., perspective, x001Csheye, omnidirectional). To address this limitation,we propose UniTriSplat, a unix001Ced 3DGS framework for universal camerasthat reformulates Gaussian splatting on the unit sphere via HEALPixdiscretization. Leveraging the equal-area property of HEALPix, we con-struct a spherical sampling grid aligned with the angular resolution ofinput images. We derive the forward rendering and gradient propagationof Gaussians directly in the spherical radian domain, yielding uniform op-timization behavior from narrow-FoV images to full 360-degree panora-mas. To enhance perceptual reconstruction quality, we additionally intro-duce a HEALPix-aware SSIM loss that respects spherical neighborhoodstructure. Extensive experiments across diverse camera models demon-strate that UniTriSplat consistently improves cross-camera generaliza-tion while preserving geometric x001Cdelity and rendering quality.
