Gaussian splat culling for representations

A device comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, wherein the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprises program instructions that, when executed on the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• obtaining representation data representing at least a portion of an object, wherein the representation data comprises splat parameter data that define characteristics for splats representing the object;
• selecting a subset of the splats representing the object based on a characteristic of a viewing experience;
• and
• providing a view of a representation of the at least the portion of the object based on the selected subset of the splats, wherein providing the view comprises rendering the subset of the splats based on the splat parameter data.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing program instructions executable on a device to perform operations comprising:

• selecting a subset of the splats representing the object based on a characteristic of a viewing experience;
• and
• providing a view of a representation of the at least the portion of the object based on the selected subset of the splats, wherein providing the view comprises rendering the subset of the splats based on the splat parameter data.
