In this paper, we introduce GS-SLAM that first utilizes 3D Gaussian representation in the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) system. It facilitates a better bal-ance between efficiency and accuracy. Compared to recent SLAM methods employing neural implicit representations, our method utili...
