PolyMerge: Compressing 3D Gaussian Splats with Polytope Coverings for Provably Safe Resource-Constrained Navigation
Obstacle avoidance is essential for safe navigation and motion planning. Recent radiance field reconstruction methods enable object detection and modeling with high fidelity, but remain too memory- and compute-intensive for on-board perception-based path planning. To address these limitations, we propose PolyMerge to convert a large, photorealistic 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) model of a scene into a lightweight representation of convex polytopes whose union provably over-approximates all obstacles in the original 3DGS model. PolyMerge tunes the polytope count to trade off conservativeness and compute cost, and integrates with control barrier functions (CBFs) to plan collision-free paths. We showcase PolyMerge in simulation and hardware experiments on a Crazyflie drone, which uses PolyMerge to compute and follow safe trajectories in real time under severe onboard compute constraints, outperforming baselines in speed while guaranteeing safety.
