SplatPose: On-Device Outdoor AR Pose Estimation Using Gaussian Splatting
Weiwu Pang, Rajrup Ghosh, Jiawei Yang, Ziyu Wei, Branden Leong, Yue Wang, Ramesh Govindan
In Proceedings of the 33rd ACM International Conference on Multimedia Sep 2025
We develop SplatPose, a novel pose estimation technique that uses a data-driven 3D modeling technique called Gaussian Splatting. SplatPose uses a trained Gaussian Splatting model to render an image at an estimated device location, then matches features with the camera image to estimate pose.
