Breakthrough in Surgical Digital Twins: Enhanced 3D Visualization

SplatFormer: A video created by Yutong Chen, ETH Zurich

Yutong Chen has produced a remarkable demonstration of the SplatFormer – a sophisticated 3D point transformer developed through our research. This technology precisely refines 3D Gaussian renderings to deliver unprecedented visual clarity from multiple viewing angles, even from challenging perspectives outside the standard viewing range.

The demonstration effectively showcases the technology detailed in the October 2024 paper "SplatFormer: Point Transformer for Robust 3D Gaussian Splatting" by Chen et al.

Stay tuned — future developments will push beyond object-centric scenes, venturing into the complexities of real surgical environments.
