Abstract
While 3D Gaussian splatting has emerged as a powerful paradigm, it fundamentally fails to model transparency such as glass panels. The core challenge lies in decoupling the intertwined radiance contributions from transparent interfaces and the transmitted geometry observed through the glass. We present GLINT, a framework that models scene-scale transparency through explicit decomposed Gaussian representation. GLINT reconstructs the primary interface and models reflected and transmitted radiance separately, enabling consistent radiance transport. During optimization, GLINT bootstraps transparency localization from geometry-separation cues induced by the decomposition, together with geometry and material priors from a pre-trained video relighting model. Extensive experiments demonstrate consistent improvements over prior methods for reconstructing complex transparent scenes.

WHY NOW
3D Reconstruction moved forward this cycle; last verified April 2026. Public score 7.0/10. Production flags indicate code availability.
We present GLINT, a framework that models scene-scale transparency through explicit decomposed Gaussian representation.
The abstract explicitly states this as the core contribution of GLINT.
partial
GLINT reconstructs the primary interface and models reflected and transmitted radiance separately, enabling consistent radiance transport.
The abstract clearly outlines this approach for handling transparency.
partial
During optimization, GLINT bootstraps transparency localization from geometry-separation cues induced by the decomposition, together with geometry and material priors from a pre-trained video relighting model.
The abstract details the bootstrapping mechanism for transparency localization.
partial
Extensive experiments demonstrate consistent improvements over prior methods for reconstructing complex transparent scenes.
The abstract states this as a key finding from their experiments.
partial
GLINT achieves state-of-the-art rendering quality, quantitatively outperforming all baseline methods on both benchmarks.
The paper explicitly states this in the 'Experimental Results' section, supported by tables.
partial
We implement GLINT in PyTorch, integrating the 2DGS rasterizer [15] for primary interface rendering and a modified OptiX [30]-based ray tracer adapted from EnvGS [39] for secondary transmission and reflection queries.
The implementation details section specifies the components used for rendering.
partial
The outgoing radiance, which we denote asL o, is expressed as a transparency-gated interpolation between two transport branches: Lo = (1−t)L opaque +t L transparent, (5) where transparencytobtained from the G-bufferBdeter- mines whether radiance transport follows opaque or trans- parent paths.
The paper describes the radiance transport formulation using a transparency-gated interpolation.
partial
We present GLINT, a framework that models scene-scale transparency through explicit decomposed Gaussian representation.
The abstract explicitly states this as the core contribution of GLINT. The analysis also mentions 'explicitly partitions primitives into interface, transmission, and reflection components'.
partial
GLINT reconstructs the primary interface and models reflected and transmitted radiance separately, enabling consistent radiance transport.
The abstract clearly states this as a key aspect of GLINT's approach to handling transparency. The analysis also mentions 'models reflected and transmitted radiance separately'.
partial
During optimization, GLINT bootstraps transparency localization from geometry-separation cues induced by the decomposition, together with geometry and material priors from a pre-trained video relighting model.
The abstract explicitly details the bootstrapping mechanism used by GLINT. The analysis also mentions 'incorporate geometric and material priors from a pre-trained video diffusion relighti'.
partial
Extensive experiments demonstrate consistent improvements over prior methods for reconstructing complex transparent scenes.
The abstract directly states this claim, and the experimental results section provides quantitative comparisons supporting it.
