OC-GS: Gaussian Splatting for Irregular Turntable Capture

Uneven rotation and dropped frames make equal-angle assumptions unreliable for turntable reconstruction. We present OC-GS, an object-centric Gaussian splatting that refines each image's angle while maintaining a shared camera, rotation axis, and pivot. This orbit-consistent refinement jointly optimizes image-derived geometry and angles to reconstruct objects from sparse, irregular captures. On rendered objects with 12, 8, and 6 irregularly spaced views, OC-GS achieves mean foreground PSNR scores of 21.26, 19.36, and 15.83dB, respectively, exceeding all four evaluated pose-free Gaussian splatting baselines in each condition. Under a shared trainer, refining image-estimated angles improves mean foreground PSNR by 7.88dB over keeping those estimates fixed. An ablation study shows that both image-derived angle initialization and the shared motion model contribute to the improvement. On real…
