Multi-StyleGS: Stylized Gaussian Splatting with Multiple Styles

In recent years, there has been a growing demand to stylize a given 3D scene to align with the artistic style of reference images for creative purposes. While 3D Gaussian Splatting (GS) has emerged as a promising and efficient method for realistic 3D scene modeling, there remains a challenge in adapting it to stylize 3D GS to match with multiple styles through automatic local style transfer or manual designation, while maintaining memory efficiency for stylization training. In this paper, we introduce a novel 3D GS stylization solution termed Multi-StyleGS to tackle these challenges. In particular, we employ a bipartite matching mechanism to automatically identify correspondences between the style images and the local regions of the rendered images. To facilitate local style transfer, we introduce a novel semantic style loss function that employs a segmentation network to apply distinct styles to various objects of the scene and propose a local-global feature matching to enhance the multi-view consistency. Furthermore, this technique can achieve memory-efficient training, more texture details and better color match. To better assign a robust semantic label to each Gaussian, we propose several techniques to regularize the segmentation network. As demonstrated by our comprehensive experiments, our approach outperforms existing ones in producing plausible stylization results and offering flexible editing.

Although the neuroimaging measures build a bridge between genetic variants and disease phenotypes, an assessment of single nucleotide variants changes in brain structure and their clinically influence on the progression of Alzheimer's disease remain largely preliminary. Note that each variant has very weak correlation signal to neuroimaging measures or Alzheimer's disease phenotypes. Therefore, traditional sparse regression-based image genetics approaches confront with unresolvable features, relative high regression error or inapplicability of high-dimensional data. Adopting an $\text{L}_0$ regularization method, we significantly elevate the regression accuracy of imaging genetics compared with group-sparse multitask regression method. With further analysis on the simulation results, we conclude that multiple regression tasks model may be unsuitable for image genetics. In addition, we carried out a whole genome association analysis between genetic variants (about 388 million loci) and phenotypes (cognition normal, mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease) with using the $\text{L}_0$ regularization method. After annotating the effect of all variants by Ensembl Variant Effect Predictor (VEP), our method locates 33 missense variants which can explain 40% phenotype variance. Then, we mapped each missense variant to the nearest gene and carried out pathway enrichment analysis. The Notch signaling pathway and Apoptosis pathway have been reported to be related to the formation of Alzheimer's disease.
