3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) enables real-time novel view synthesis with high visual quality. However, existing methods struggle with semi-transparent specular surfaces that exhibit both complex reflections and clear transmission, often producing blurry reflections or overly occluded transmission. To address this, we present RT-Splatting, a framework that disentangles each Gaussian's geometric occupancy from its optical opacity. This factorization yields a unified surface-volume scene representation with a single set of Gaussian primitives. Our hybrid renderer interprets this representation both as a surface to capture high-frequency reflections and as a volume to preserve clear transmission. To mitigate the ambiguity in jointly optimizing reflection and transmission, we introduce Specular-Aware Gradient Gating, which suppresses misleading gradients from highly specular regions into the transmission branch, effectively reducing distracting floaters. Experiments on challenging semi-transparent scenes show that RT-Splatting achieves state-of-the-art performance, delivering high-fidelity reflections and clear transmission with real-time rendering. Moreover, our factorization naturally enables flexible scene editing. The project page is available at https://sjj118.github.io/RT-Splatting.

The reflections caused by common semi-reflectors, such as glass windows, can impact the performance of computer vision algorithms. State-of-the-art methods can remove reflections on synthetic data and in controlled scenarios. However, they are based on strong assumptions and do not generalize well to real-world images. Contrary to a common misconception, real-world images are challenging even when polarization information is used. We present a deep learning approach to separate the reflected and the transmitted components of the recorded irradiance, which explicitly uses the polarization prope…
