360° Gaussian Splatting Plugins

A curated catalog of plugins and tools built for capturing and processing Gaussian Splats from 360° cameras.

360° cameras have become one of the fastest ways to capture an environment for Gaussian Splatting, but most reconstruction software cannot consume equirectangular footage directly. The plugins below take on the steps between raw 360° capture and a trainable dataset — frame extraction, operator masking, sharpness culling, and alignment — either as full end-to-end pipelines or as focused utilities that slot into an existing workflow.
