Gaussian Splatting struggles with high-frequency details. Our #CVPR2026 paper “Neural Gabor Splatting” is out! By augmenting each Gaussian with an MLP that models high-frequency signals, we significantly improve reconstruction quality with fewer primitives.

Honored to give a talk at a tech event in Japan 🇯🇵
I’ll present our work on Neural Gabor Splatting.

@pc_desgn Thanks for the suggestion!

We haven’t explored integration with platforms like LightField Studio or SuperSplat yet, but that’s a very interesting direction.

Making this more accessible in real pipelines is something we’d love to explore.

@Izard_of_Widd Thanks! Glad to see the interest in this line of work :)

@brubbleR Haha, let's see :)

ラボで修士を卒業したばかりの@HeartWatanabe20 さんのNeural Gabor SplattingがCVPR2026に採択されました。去年のMIRUで議論させて頂いたGabor Splattingの進化版。SIREN(サイン波活性化関数)を使ってGaborノイズをNeuralに拡張＋View方向依存の色を入れて更に表現力向上　https://t.co/nArRFY5O9g

I have completed my M.S. at the University of Tokyo.

I received the Dean’s Award (awarded to the top student in the department for research excellence) and was selected as the representative master’s student at the graduation ceremony held at Yasuda Auditorium.

Grateful.

[Haato Watanabe @HeartWatanabe20]

The award trophy.
Truly honored.
