Abstract: Free-Viewpoint Video (FVV) reconstruction enables photorealistic and interactive 3D scene visualization; however, real-time streaming is often bottlenecked by sparse-view inputs, prohibitive training costs, and bandwidth constraints. While recent 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has advanced FVV due to its superior rendering speed, Streaming Free-Viewpoint Video (SFVV) introduces additional demands for rapid optimization, high-fidelity reconstruction under sparse constraints, and minimal storage footprints. To bridge this gap, we propose StreamLoD-GS, an LoD-based Gaussian Splatting framework designed specifically for SFVV. Our approach integrates three core innovations: 1) an Anchor- and Octree-based LoD-structured 3DGS with a hierarchical Gaussian dropout technique to ensure efficient and stable optimization while maintaining high-quality rendering; 2) a GMM-based motion partitioning mechanism that separates dynamic and static content, refining dynamic regions while preserving background stability; and 3) a quantized residual refinement framework that significantly reduces storage requirements without compromising visual fidelity. Extensive experiments demonstrate that StreamLoD-GS achieves competitive or state-of-the-art performance in terms of quality, efficiency, and storage.

Rimetto nero su bianco una cosa detta e pensata anni fa.
E‘ una follia pensare che oggi compriamo dei PC ( Personal Computer ) che hanno serrature apribili esclusivamente da Microsoft.
Se fossero case sarebbe evidente quanto la cosa é grottesca!
Ah si siamo fortunati! A volte si possono cambiare le ‚serrature‘.
Ps. sto parlando di secure boot, e di come sia gestito il processo attualmente.
Per il mondo ‚mobile’ é ancora peggio. La serratura li proprio non la pu…

More on Alexa - When I'm build up a new computer (which I often do several times a day) I begin in the BIOS by setting the time to GMT.
So I usually say "Alexa what's the GMT?"
Old Alexa would promptly give me an answer.
New Alexa takes about five seconds of deep (and probably power consuming) thinking and then tells me the meaning of GMT.
Then I yell that I want the time in GMT and, after that five second pause, tells me the GMT time (but not the …

An LLM is a machine for giving confident plausible answers to whatever question is thrown at it.
The methods it uses to do this mean that (for questions that are not too challenging) there is a good chance that the answer is correct as well as confident.
Confident is guaranteed, correct is not. Is that what you need?
