Metric-Consistent Depth Recovery
UltraGS addresses the lack of explicit depth cues and dynamic imaging aperture in ultrasound by using 2D Gaussian disks and a novel Dynamic Aperture Rectification (DAR) mechanism. This ensures metric-consistent structural depth, which is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
Breakthrough: Physically-Decoupled Rendering
UltraGS introduces PD Rendering, a differentiable neural acoustic operator that models depth attenuation, specular reflection, and volumetric scattering. This approach accurately synthesizes ultrasound intensities, overcoming limitations of standard Gaussian accumulation that struggle with complex wave propagation.
Unlike optical scene rendering, ultrasound physics requires specific modeling of tissue-probe interactions. PD Rendering integrates low-order spherical harmonics with first-order wave effects, ensuring high-fidelity intensity modeling without ray marching latency.
