Abstract
Does high image fidelity imply readable screen content in 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS)? We introduce 3DGS-SC, a controlled static screen-content dataset and benchmark for examining this mismatch. Ten procedural scenes provide fixed multi-view splits, exact cameras, screen masks, text boxes, and transcripts. The protocol separates whole-image fidelity, screen-region fidelity, OCR readability, and edge preservation. In the reported five-method comparison, LightGaussian exceeds Mip-Splatting in screen PSNR by only 0.08 dB, yet trails it in OCR accuracy by 12.7 percentage points. Across all ten method pairs, screen-PSNR and OCR orderings disagree in seven cases. These aggregate results expose a method-selection failure of fidelity-only evaluation. Complementing prior text-aware 3DGS research, 3DGS-SC targets controlled monitor interfaces and exact annotations; scene-wise robustness and acquisition effects remain open validation questions.
