The Gaussian primitive itself carries a sign. Better for sharp geometric boundaries. - **NegGS**: Opacity remains non-negative, but color values can be negative. Uses Diff-Gaussian (subtraction of two Gaussians) to model ring/crescent structures. ### Compression Methods | Method | Compression Ratio | Quality Impact | Speed | |--------|-------------------|----------------|-------| | Compact-3DGS | 10-15x | Minimal PSNR drop | Faster | | LightGS | 15-20x | Slight drop | Much faster | | MobileGS | 50-100x | Moderate drop | Real-time mobile | | Embedded-3DGS | 10x | Minimal | Comparable | | HAC | ~100x | Slight drop | Faster after decode | | OT-UVGS | UV tensor | ↑ vs spherical UVGS | Same as UVGS | | NanoGS | Training-free | Minimal (KNN merge) | CPU-only, instant | | MesonGS++ | 34x | Minimal | Faster after decode (0-1 ILP hyperparameter search) | | GETA-3DGS | 5x | Minimal | First end-to-end automatic joint structured pruning + quantization;

If two methods differ in their opacity parameterization, explain exactly how. 2. **Quote metrics when available**: Use actual numbers from papers, not estimates. 3. **Avoid bias**: Present each method's strengths and weaknesses fairly. 4. **Context matters**: A method that's worse on PSNR might be better for real-time. Always mention the use case. 5. **Flag uncertainty**: If you don't have reliable data for a comparison dimension, say so explicitly. > If you like it, please star this repo https://github.com/jaccen/Awesome-Gaussian-Skills
