3D Gaussian Splatting Method Developed by Inria and MPI Used for Fukushima Reactor Decommissioning
A method developed by Inria and the Max Planck Institute for Computer Science, called '3D Gaussian Splatting', has been utilized to create detailed 3D reconstructions from video footage inside the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. This technique assists in inspecting previously inaccessible areas for the reactor's decommissioning. On March 14, 2024, TEPCO conducted an investigation using small drones to document the area and assess melted nuclear fuel remnants, applying the 3D Gaussian Splatting method for interactive visualizations.

The '3D Gaussian Splatting' method, developed by Inria and the Max Planck Institute for Computer Science, enables detailed 3D reconstructions from video footage of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. This technique aids in inspecting inaccessible areas years after the incident.
On March 14, 2024, TEPCO conducted an investigation using two drones to capture video and assess melted nuclear fuel. The method combines geometric principles and AI optimization techniques for rapid, high-quality 3D rendering. It has potential applications in virtual reality, online commerce, and generative AI.
