Abstract
A splat compression system and associated methods are provided to efficiently compress and decompress data of a three-dimensional (3D) splat representation using textures so that the size of the splat representation is reduced with minimal loss in fidelity. The compression includes receiving the splats that make up the 3D splat representation, determining clusters that are associated with a different set of the splats that are positioned about a different common plane, and defining each cluster with a position based on the positional data from the different set of splats associated with that cluster. The compression includes converting the positional data from the different set of splats associated with each cluster to offsets from the position of the associated cluster, and generating the compressed 3D representation with a definition for each cluster and a texture that stores the offsets for the different set of splats associated with each cluster.
