CC-4DGS: Computational Deformation and Point-Cloud Compression for Storage-Efficient Dynamic Gaussian Splatting

Dynamic four-dimensional (4D) Gaussian Splatting has emerged as a powerful explicit representation for high-quality view synthesis, yet existing methods still require tens to hundreds of megabytes per scene due to their heavy reliance on large multi-resolution hash tables and high-dimensional Gaussian attributes. This paper presents CC-4DGS, a storage-efficient and scalable framework that rethinks both deformation modeling and canonical attribute storage. First, we introduce a computational deformation field (CDF) that replaces large multi-resolution learnable hash tables with deterministic dense hash encoding and compact neural decoders, enabling on-the-fly synthesis of deformation features while reducing deformation storage to only 1--3 MB per scene. Second, we propose a compression of canonical point-cloud attributes (CCA) pipeline that compresses high-dimensional spherical harmonic appearance terms and auxiliary Gaussian attributes via conditional autoencoding, selective quantization, and residual codebooks, achieving 3--5× point-cloud reduction with negligible quality loss. Together, these components yield a unified representation that preserves real-time rendering performance while reducing total storage to 20--30 MB. Extensive experiments across the N3DV and Technicolor Light Field datasets demonstrate that CC-4DGS achieves reconstruction accuracy comparable to state-of-the-art methods such as Swift4D, while offering significantly improved storage efficiency and favorable runtime-memory trade-offs.
