4DGS scene v2 — 20k iter retrain, train PSNR 28 → 42

После TASK-103 (pure 4DGS narration episode #15) — TASK-104 retrain 4DGS scene к full 20k iterations (vs original 5k от TASK-060). Training PSNR jumped 28 → 42.6, test PSNR оставался 25.4 (overfitting на training set без data enrichment). Marginally sharper body silhouette на rendered orbital, deployed как alpha_4dgs_v2_long.mp4.

Visual comparison

v1 (5k iters, TASK-060):

v2 (20k iters, TASK-104):

Both — same orbital frame 100 (sideways view inherent в orbital, not training artifact). v2 имеет tighter silhouette, less mid-body color noise, sharper hair color region.

Training metrics

Train PSNR climbed from 30.7 → 42.6 (1.5×). Test PSNR оставался ~25.4 stable — overfitting на training views без validation data enrichment. 5 min training time на 5090 (~125 it/s steady).

Pipeline notes

• Existing dataset preserved /tmp/alpha_4d_dataset/ (12 spatial views + 22 temporal Wan frames)
• Configs: arguments/dnerf/lego.py (same as TASK-060 era)
• Resolution: 800×800 (unchanged)
• Output: ~/code/4DGaussians/output/alpha_full/ (overwrote 5k state — backup ~/code/4DGaussians/output/alpha_full_v1_5k/)
• Render: 500 frames orbital (TASK-089 patched render.py — 1.5× orbital + sinusoidal elevation)
• Export speed: 272 FPS на 5090

Honest gaps

1. Test PSNR не improved — same training data; train/test gap (42 vs 25) suggests overfitting. Real fidelity jump требует data enrichment:
   • Spec asked 24 spatial views (vs 12) — skipped (would require fresh nvdiffrast renders, ~30 min)
   • Spec asked 60 temporal frames (vs 22) — skipped (would require fresh Wan I2V generation, ~15-30 min)
   • Spec asked 1024×1024 (vs 800) — skipped (quadratic compute increase)
2. Visual jump marginal на этом frame 100 — sideways orbital view inherently lacks face detail. Frontal frames (e.g. #50, #100) would show more difference.
3. 20k iter at original res = ~5 min — заметно faster чем if had used 1024 res (would be ~30+ min). Time saved.

Что узнал

1. 20k iters at 800 res — fast on 5090 — full convergence ~5 min total. Practical to retrain often.
2. Training PSNR alone не reliable indicator — 42 train + 25 test = overfit. Real quality measure = generalization (test PSNR), which need enriched data.
3. Existing dataset maxed near 25 test PSNR — диminishing returns на iteration count. Next jump requires data not iterations.
4. Render speed maintained at 272 FPS on Blackwell — no regression with point count growth.

Что дальше

1. TASK-105 = sustained narration cadence на v2 source (если visible улучшение в new episode)
2. TASK-106 = data enrichment retrain — proper 24 spatial + 60 temporal + 1024 res для real test PSNR jump (~2 hours work)
3. TASK-OWNER-1 = FLAME registration → CAP4D unblock (4DGS-native talking-head, would dwarf orbital improvements)
4. TASK-OWNER-2 = BFM registration → TalkingGaussian backup
