KnockGS:interaction-Grounded Calibrationof Physical Gaussian Representations
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.27365v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Physics-integrated 3D Gaussian representations now allow reconstructed deformable objects to be simulated and rendered under explicit material models. Existing pipelines, however, assume that material parameters are known or manually specified, limiting their applicability when these parameters must be inferred from observed object dynamics. We propose KnockGS, an interaction-response PhysicalGS framework that estimates the elasticity and density scales of a 3D Gaussian object from its dynamics under a known applied force.
