Maintenance & Community

The repository is actively maintained and relies on community contributions for updates and additions. Interested parties can submit new papers or suggest improvements via pull requests or direct email to the maintainer.

Licensing & Compatibility

The repository's license is not specified in the README. Individual papers and linked code repositories are subject to their own respective licenses and copyrights, which may impose restrictions on commercial use or derivative works.

Limitations & Caveats

This repository is a curated index of research papers and does not provide any executable code or a unified framework. Its utility lies in its comprehensive organization and links to external resources, requiring users to access and evaluate individual papers and their associated codebases separately. The rapid evolution of 3DGS research means the list's comprehensiveness is dependent on ongoing community contributions.
