Gaussian Point Splatting
Researchers propose Gaussian Point Splatting, a stochastic rendering method using pixel-sized opaque points and 64-bit GPU atomics that scales to hundreds of millions of Gaussians in real time. The method, accepted at SIGGRAPH 2026, employs hierarchical culling and parallel programming primitives to achieve even workload distribution with only minor noise differences compared to original Gaussian splatting.
The Scanline Sweeper: A Glyph Rendering Algorithm
This paper proposes a glyph rendering algorithm based on GPU shaders—the scanline sweeper. By analyzing the quadratic Bézier representation of glyph contours, it computes scanline coverage within pixel windows, achieving high-quality anti-aliased rendering while reducing memory usage and supporting arbitrary transformations.
