EndoGaussian-4D Fast-Fail Experiment
Benchmarks static 3DGS on deforming endoscopic tissue to systematically
document failure modes. This establishes the baseline that motivates
the deformable extension.
The experiment:
1. Train vanilla (static) 3DGS on a dynamic sequence
2. Evaluate per-frame and aggregate metrics
3. Automatically detect and categorize artifacts
4. Generate a structured report with artifact taxonomy
Artifact Taxonomy (6 failure modes on dynamic tissue):
1. Temporal Ghosting: Multi-exposure blur from static model averaging motion
2. Floaters: Free-floating Gaussian blobs in empty space
3. Tool Smearing: Instrument boundaries dissolve into tissue
4. Specular Artifacts: Bright spots from unmodeled view-dependent reflections
5. Tearing/Stretching: Gaussian field breaks when tissue deforms beyond training
6. Scale Bloat: Gaussians inflate to cover inconsistent observations
Usage:
python scripts/fast_fail_experiment.py \\
--data ./data/endonerf/cutting \\
--output ./experiments/fast_fail \\
--max-iters 1000

report += """## 4. Failure Mode → Loss Function Design
Based on the observed artifacts, we recommend the following loss terms:
### 4.1. Temporal Ghosting → Deformation Field + Temporal Smoothness
$$\\mathcal{L}_{\\text{smooth}} = \\frac{1}{N} \\sum_{i=1}^{N} \\|\\Delta_\\theta(\\mu_i, t) - \\Delta_\\theta(\\mu_i, t+\\delta)\\|_2^2$$
The deformation field $\\Delta_\\theta(t)$ allows Gaussians to move with tissue.
The smoothness term prevents discontinuous jumps.
### 4.2. Floaters → Depth Supervision
$$\\mathcal{L}_{\\text{depth}} = \\frac{1}{|\\mathcal{V}|} \\sum_{p \\in \\mathcal{V}} \\left( \\log \\hat{D}(p) - \\log D^*(p) - \\frac{1}{|\\mathcal{V}|} \\sum_q \\log \\hat{D}(q) - \\log D^*(q) \\right)^2$$
Scale-invariant depth loss anchors Gaussians to surfaces, preventing floaters.
### 4.3. Tool Smearing → Explicit Tool Masking
$$\\mathcal{L}_{\\text{rgb}} = \\frac{1}{|M_t|} \\sum_{p \\in M_t} \\| \\hat{I}(p) - I^*(p) \\|_1$$
Where $M_t$ is the tissue mask (excluding tools). Tools are also excluded
from Gaussian initialization via HGI: $P = \\cup_t K^{-1} T_t D_t (I_t \\odot M_t)$.
### 4.4. Specular Artifacts → D-SSIM + Higher SH
$$\\mathcal{L} = (1-\\lambda_1) \\mathcal{L}_1 + \\lambda_1 \\mathcal{L}_{\\text{D-SSIM}}$$
D-SSIM is more robust to localized specular errors than pure L1/L2.
SH degree ≥ 3 provides basic view-dependent modeling.
### 4.5. Scale Bloat → Total Variation Regularization
$$\\mathcal{L}_{\\text{TV}} = \\frac{1}{6L} \\sum_{l,k} \\left( \\|\\nabla_h F_l^{(k)}\\|_1 + \\|\\nabla_v F_l^{(k)}\\|_1 \\right)$$
TV on HexPlane features prevents noisy deformations that cause scale inflation.
## 5. Recommended Full Loss
$$\\mathcal{L} = \\underbrace{(1-\\lambda_1)\\mathcal{L}_1 + \\lambda_1 \\mathcal{L}_{\\text{D-SSIM}}}_{\\text{appearance}} + \\underbrace{\\lambda_2 \\mathcal{L}_{\\text{depth}}}_{\\text{geometry}} + \\underbrace{\\lambda_3 \\mathcal{L}_{\\text{smooth}} + \\lambda_4 \\mathcal{L}_{\\text{TV}}}_{\\text{regularization}}$$
With weights: $\\lambda_1 = 0.2$, $\\lambda_2 = 0.1$, $\\lambda_3 = 0.01$, $\\lambda_4 = 0.001$
## 6. Design Recommendations
1. **HexPlane temporal encoding** over pure MLP: 37.8 vs 34.8 PSNR, 6× faster training
2. **Holistic Gaussian Initialization (HGI)**: Union of depth backprojections covers full scene
3. **Warmup schedule**: 1000 static iterations before enabling deformation
4. **absgrad densification**: Better split/clone decisions than standard gradient norm
5. **Tool-aware pipeline**: Exclude tools from init, loss, and densification
