Method and device for representing volumetric content.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and device for rendering, in an image plane, a volumetric image decomposed into a plurality of 3D Gaussians. The method comprises the following steps for at least one sample (P) to be reconstructed in the image plane (IP): - identification of a plurality of 3D Gaussians along a radius (R, R1, R2) launched from said sample, - projection of said 3D Gaussians into a plurality of 2D Gaussians in the image plane; - according to an overlap criterion between at least two 3D Gaussians of the plurality, on said radius, based on parameters of said 2D Gaussians: - an accumulation step if said at least two 3D Gaussians overlap, - a blending step otherwise.
