Radiance Fields (RF) are popular to represent casually-captured scenes for new view generation and have been used for applications beyond it. Understanding and manipulating scenes represented as RFs have to naturally follow to facilitate mixed reality on personal spaces. Semantic segmentation of objects in the 3D scene is an important step for that. Prior segmentation efforts using feature distillation show promise but don't scale to complex objects with diverse appearance. We present a framework to interactively segment objects with fine structure. Nearest neighbor feature matching identifies high-confidence regions of the objects using distilled features. Bilateral filtering in a joint spatio-semantic space grows the region to recover accurate segmentation. We show state-of-the-art results of segmenting objects from RFs and compositing them to another scene, changing appearance, etc., moving closer to rich scene manipulation and understanding.

Stylized view generation of scenes captured casually using a camera has received much attention recently. The geometry and appearance of the scene are typically captured as neural point sets or neural radiance fields in the previous work. An image stylization method is used to stylize the captured appearance by training its network jointly or iteratively with the structure capture network. The state-of-the-art SNeRF method trains the NeRF and stylization network in an alternating manner. These methods have high training time and require joint optimization. In this work, we present StyleTRF, a compact, quick-to-optimize strategy for stylized view generation using TensoRF. The appearance part is fine-tuned using sparse stylized priors of a few views rendered using the TensoRF representation for a few iterations. Our method thus effectively decouples style-adaption from view capture and is much faster than the previous methods. We show state-of-the-art results on several scenes used for this purpose.

Volumetric neural rendering methods like NeRF generate high-quality view synthesis results but are optimized per-scene leading to prohibitive reconstruction time. On the other hand, deep multi-view stereo methods can quickly reconstruct scene geometry via direct network inference. Point-NeRF combines the advantages of these two approaches by using neural 3D point clouds, with associated neural features, to model a radiance field. Point-NeRF can be rendered efficiently by aggregating neural point features near scene surfaces, in a ray marching-based rendering pipeline. Moreover, Point-NeRF can be initialized via direct inference of a pre-trained deep network to produce a neural point cloud; this point cloud can be finetuned to surpass the visual quality of NeRF with 30X faster training time. Point-NeRF can be combined with other 3D reconstruction methods and handles the errors and outliers in such methods via a novel pruning and growing mechanism. The experiments on the DTU, the NeRF Synthetics , the ScanNet and the Tanks and Temples datasets demonstrate Point-NeRF can surpass the existing methods and achieve the state-of-the-art results.

综合照片 - 现实图像和视频是计算机图形的核心，并且是几十年的研究焦点。传统上，使用渲染算法（如光栅化或射线跟踪）生成场景的合成图像，其将几何形状和材料属性的表示为输入。统称，这些输入定义了实际场景和呈现的内容，并且被称为场景表示（其中场景由一个或多个对象组成）。示例场景表示是具有附带纹理的三角形网格（例如，由艺术家创建），点云（例如，来自深度传感器），体积网格（例如，来自CT扫描）或隐式曲面函数（例如，截短的符号距离）字段）。使用可分辨率渲染损耗的观察结果的这种场景表示的重建被称为逆图形或反向渲染。神经渲染密切相关，并将思想与经典计算机图形和机器学习中的思想相结合，以创建用于合成来自真实观察图像的图像的算法。神经渲染是朝向合成照片现实图像和视频内容的目标的跨越。近年来，我们通过数百个出版物显示了这一领域的巨大进展，这些出版物显示了将被动组件注入渲染管道的不同方式。这种最先进的神经渲染进步的报告侧重于将经典渲染原则与学习的3D场景表示结合的方法，通常现在被称为神经场景表示。这些方法的一个关键优势在于它们是通过设计的3D-一致，使诸如新颖的视点合成捕获场景的应用。除了处理静态场景的方法外，我们还涵盖了用于建模非刚性变形对象的神经场景表示...

Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) encode the radiance in a scene parameterized by the scene's plenoptic function. This is achieved by using an MLP together with a mapping to a higher-dimensional space, and has been proven to capture scenes with a great level of detail. Naturally, the same parameterization can be used to encode additional properties of the scene, beyond just its radiance. A particularly interesting property in this regard is the semantic decomposition of the scene. We introduce a novel technique for semantic soft decomposition of neural radiance fields (named SSDNeRF) which jointly encodes semantic signals in combination with radiance signals of a scene. Our approach provides a soft decomposition of the scene into semantic parts, enabling us to correctly encode multiple semantic classes blending along the same direction -- an impossible feat for existing methods. Not only does this lead to a detailed, 3D semantic representation of the scene, but we also show that the regularizing effects of the MLP used for encoding help to improve the semantic representation. We show state-of-the-art segmentation and reconstruction results on a dataset of common objects and demonstrate how the proposed approach can be applied for high quality temporally consistent video editing and re-compositing on a dataset of casually captured selfie videos.

获取3D对象表示对于创建照片现实的模拟器和为AR/VR应用程序收集资产很重要。神经领域已经显示出其在学习2D图像的场景的连续体积表示方面的有效性，但是从这些模型中获取对象表示，并以较弱的监督仍然是一个开放的挑战。在本文中，我们介绍了Laterf，一种从给定的2D图像和已知相机姿势的2D图像中提取感兴趣对象的方法，对象的自然语言描述以及少数对象和非对象标签 - 输入图像中的对象点。为了忠实地从场景中提取对象，后来在每个3D点上都以其他“对象”概率扩展NERF公式。此外，我们利用预先训练的剪辑模型与我们可区分的对象渲染器相结合的丰富潜在空间来注入对象的封闭部分。我们在合成数据集和真实数据集上展示了高保真对象提取，并通过广泛的消融研究证明我们的设计选择是合理的。

We introduce a method to render Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) in real time using PlenOctrees, an octree-based 3D representation which supports view-dependent effects. Our method can render 800×800 images at more than 150 FPS, which is over 3000 times faster than conventional NeRFs. We do so without sacrificing quality while preserving the ability of NeRFs to perform free-viewpoint rendering of scenes with arbitrary geometry and view-dependent effects. Real-time performance is achieved by pre-tabulating the NeRF into a PlenOctree. In order to preserve viewdependent effects such as specularities, we factorize the appearance via closed-form spherical basis functions. Specifically, we show that it is possible to train NeRFs to predict a spherical harmonic representation of radiance, removing the viewing direction as an input to the neural network. Furthermore, we show that PlenOctrees can be directly optimized to further minimize the reconstruction loss, which leads to equal or better quality compared to competing methods. Moreover, this octree optimization step can be used to reduce the training time, as we no longer need to wait for the NeRF training to converge fully. Our real-time neural rendering approach may potentially enable new applications such as 6-DOF industrial and product visualizations, as well as next generation AR/VR systems. PlenOctrees are amenable to in-browser rendering as well; please visit the project page for the interactive online demo, as well as video and code: https://alexyu. net/plenoctrees.

我们提出了神经特征融合场（N3F），当将后者应用于分析多个图像作为3D场景时，可改善密集的2D图像特征提取器的方法。给定图像功能提取器，例如使用自学的预训练，N3F使用它作为老师来学习在3D空间中定义的学生网络。 3D学生网络类似于蒸馏所述功能的神经辐射领域，可以使用通常的可区分渲染机械进行培训。结果，N3F很容易适用于大多数神经渲染制剂，包括香草Nerf及其扩展到复杂的动态场景。我们表明，我们的方法不仅可以在不使用手动标签的情况下在场景特定的神经领域的上下文中实现语义理解，而且还可以始终如一地改善自我监督的2D基线。通过考虑各种任务，例如2D对象检索，3D细分和场景编辑，包括各种序列，包括史诗般的基金斯基准中的长期以上的视频，可以证明这一点。

神经隐式表示在新的视图合成和来自多视图图像的高质量3D重建方面显示了其有效性。但是，大多数方法都集中在整体场景表示上，但忽略了其中的各个对象，从而限制了潜在的下游应用程序。为了学习对象组合表示形式，一些作品将2D语义图作为训练中的提示，以掌握对象之间的差异。但是他们忽略了对象几何和实例语义信息之间的牢固联系，这导致了单个实例的不准确建模。本文提出了一个新颖的框架ObjectsDF，以在3D重建和对象表示中构建具有高保真度的对象复合神经隐式表示。观察常规音量渲染管道的歧义，我们通过组合单个对象的签名距离函数（SDF）来对场景进行建模，以发挥明确的表面约束。区分不同实例的关键是重新审视单个对象的SDF和语义标签之间的牢固关联。特别是，我们将语义信息转换为对象SDF的函数，并为场景和对象开发统一而紧凑的表示形式。实验结果表明，ObjectSDF框架在表示整体对象组合场景和各个实例方面的优越性。可以在https://qianyiwu.github.io/objectsdf/上找到代码

Recent advances in neural radiance fields have enabled the high-fidelity 3D reconstruction of complex scenes for novel view synthesis. However, it remains underexplored how the appearance of such representations can be efficiently edited while maintaining photorealism. In this work, we present PaletteNeRF, a novel method for photorealistic appearance editing of neural radiance fields (NeRF) based on 3D color decomposition. Our method decomposes the appearance of each 3D point into a linear combination of palette-based bases (i.e., 3D segmentations defined by a group of NeRF-type functions) that are shared across the scene. While our palette-based bases are view-independent, we also predict a view-dependent function to capture the color residual (e.g., specular shading). During training, we jointly optimize the basis functions and the color palettes, and we also introduce novel regularizers to encourage the spatial coherence of the decomposition. Our method allows users to efficiently edit the appearance of the 3D scene by modifying the color palettes. We also extend our framework with compressed semantic features for semantic-aware appearance editing. We demonstrate that our technique is superior to baseline methods both quantitatively and qualitatively for appearance editing of complex real-world scenes.

Photo-realistic free-viewpoint rendering of real-world scenes using classical computer graphics techniques is challenging, because it requires the difficult step of capturing detailed appearance and geometry models. Recent studies have demonstrated promising results by learning scene representations that implicitly encode both geometry and appearance without 3D supervision. However, existing approaches in practice often show blurry renderings caused by the limited network capacity or the difficulty in finding accurate intersections of camera rays with the scene geometry. Synthesizing high-resolution imagery from these representations often requires time-consuming optical ray marching. In this work, we introduce Neural Sparse Voxel Fields (NSVF), a new neural scene representation for fast and high-quality free-viewpoint rendering. NSVF defines a set of voxel-bounded implicit fields organized in a sparse voxel octree to model local properties in each cell. We progressively learn the underlying voxel structures with a diffentiable ray-marching operation from only a set of posed RGB images. With the sparse voxel octree structure, rendering novel views can be accelerated by skipping the voxels containing no relevant scene content. Our method is typically over 10 times faster than the state-of-the-art (namely, NeRF (Mildenhall et al., 2020)) at inference time while achieving higher quality results. Furthermore, by utilizing an explicit sparse voxel representation, our method can easily be applied to scene editing and scene composition. We also demonstrate several challenging tasks, including multi-scene learning, free-viewpoint rendering of a moving human, and large-scale scene rendering.

我们呈现NESF，一种用于单独从构成的RGB图像中生成3D语义场的方法。代替经典的3D表示，我们的方法在最近的基础上建立了隐式神经场景表示的工作，其中3D结构被点亮功能捕获。我们利用这种方法来恢复3D密度领域，我们然后在其中培训由构成的2D语义地图监督的3D语义分段模型。尽管仅在2D信号上培训，我们的方法能够从新颖的相机姿势生成3D一致的语义地图，并且可以在任意3D点查询。值得注意的是，NESF与产生密度场的任何方法兼容，并且随着密度场的质量改善，其精度可提高。我们的实证分析在复杂的实际呈现的合成场景中向竞争性2D和3D语义分割基线表现出可比的质量。我们的方法是第一个提供真正密集的3D场景分段，需要仅需要2D监督培训，并且不需要任何关于新颖场景的推论的语义输入。我们鼓励读者访问项目网站。

机器学习的最近进步已经创造了利用一类基于坐标的神经网络来解决视觉计算问题的兴趣，该基于坐标的神经网络在空间和时间跨空间和时间的场景或对象的物理属性。我们称之为神经领域的这些方法已经看到在3D形状和图像的合成中成功应用，人体的动画，3D重建和姿势估计。然而，由于在短时间内的快速进展，许多论文存在，但尚未出现全面的审查和制定问题。在本报告中，我们通过提供上下文，数学接地和对神经领域的文学进行广泛综述来解决这一限制。本报告涉及两种维度的研究。在第一部分中，我们通过识别神经字段方法的公共组件，包括不同的表示，架构，前向映射和泛化方法来专注于神经字段的技术。在第二部分中，我们专注于神经领域的应用在视觉计算中的不同问题，超越（例如，机器人，音频）。我们的评论显示了历史上和当前化身的视觉计算中已覆盖的主题的广度，展示了神经字段方法所带来的提高的质量，灵活性和能力。最后，我们展示了一个伴随着贡献本综述的生活版本，可以由社区不断更新。

照片中的户外场景的照片拟实的编辑需要对图像形成过程的深刻理解和场景几何，反射和照明的准确估计。然后可以在保持场景Albedo和几何形状的同时进行照明的微妙操纵。我们呈现NERF-OSR，即，基于神经辐射场的户外场景复兴的第一种方法。与现有技术相比，我们的技术允许仅使用在不受控制的设置中拍摄的户外照片集合的场景照明和相机视点。此外，它能够直接控制通过球面谐波模型所定义的场景照明。它还包括用于阴影再现的专用网络，这对于高质量的室外场景致密至关重要。为了评估所提出的方法，我们收集了几个户外站点的新基准数据集，其中每个站点从多个视点拍摄和不同的时间。对于每个定时，360度环境映射与颜色校准Chequerboard一起捕获，以允许对实际真实的真实数据进行准确的数值评估。反对本领域的状态的比较表明，NERF-OSR能够以更高的质量和逼真的自阴影再现来实现可控的照明和视点编辑。我们的方法和数据集将在https://4dqv.mpi-inf.mpg.de/nerf-OSR/上公开可用。

NeRF synthesizes novel views of a scene with unprecedented quality by fitting a neural radiance field to RGB images. However, NeRF requires querying a deep Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) millions of times, leading to slow rendering times, even on modern GPUs. In this paper, we demonstrate that real-time rendering is possible by utilizing thousands of tiny MLPs instead of one single large MLP. In our setting, each individual MLP only needs to represent parts of the scene, thus smaller and faster-to-evaluate MLPs can be used. By combining this divide-and-conquer strategy with further optimizations, rendering is accelerated by three orders of magnitude compared to the original NeRF model without incurring high storage costs. Further, using teacher-student distillation for training, we show that this speed-up can be achieved without sacrificing visual quality.

最近已经提出了方法，仅使用稀疏语义注释像素的形式使用颜色图像和专家监督，将密度段3D卷成类。尽管令人印象深刻，但这些方法仍然需要相对较大的监督和对象进行分割可能需要几分钟的实践。这样的系统通常仅在其拟合的特定场景上优化其表示形式，而无需利用先前看到的图像中的任何先前信息。在本文中，我们建议使用在大型现有数据集中训练的模型提取的功能，以提高细分性能。我们通过体积渲染特征图和从每个输入图像提取的特征进行监督，将此特征表示形式烘烤到神经辐射场（NERF）中。我们表明，通过将此表示形式烘烤到NERF中，我们可以使后续的分类任务更加容易。我们的实验表明，与在各种场景中现有方法相比，我们的方法具有更高的分割精度，语义注释较少。

虚拟内容创建和互动在现代3D应用中起着重要作用，例如AR和VR。从真实场景中恢复详细的3D模型可以显着扩大其应用程序的范围，并在计算机视觉和计算机图形社区中进行了数十年的研究。我们提出了基于体素的隐式表面表示Vox-Surf。我们的Vox-Surf将空间分为有限的体素。每个体素将几何形状和外观信息存储在其角顶点。 Vox-Surf得益于从体素表示继承的稀疏性，几乎适用于任何情况，并且可以轻松地从多个视图图像中训练。我们利用渐进式训练程序逐渐提取重要体素，以进一步优化，以便仅保留有效的体素，从而大大减少了采样点的数量并增加了渲染速度。细素还可以视为碰撞检测的边界量。该实验表明，与其他方法相比，Vox-Surf表示可以学习精致的表面细节和准确的颜色，并以更少的记忆力和更快的渲染速度来学习。我们还表明，Vox-Surf在场景编辑和AR应用中可能更实用。

Physically based rendering of complex scenes can be prohibitively costly with a potentially unbounded and uneven distribution of complexity across the rendered image. The goal of an ideal level of detail (LoD) method is to make rendering costs independent of the 3D scene complexity, while preserving the appearance of the scene. However, current prefiltering LoD methods are limited in the appearances they can support due to their reliance of approximate models and other heuristics. We propose the first comprehensive multi-scale LoD framework for prefiltering 3D environments with complex geometry and materials (e.g., the Disney BRDF), while maintaining the appearance with respect to the ray-traced reference. Using a multi-scale hierarchy of the scene, we perform a data-driven prefiltering step to obtain an appearance phase function and directional coverage mask at each scale. At the heart of our approach is a novel neural representation that encodes this information into a compact latent form that is easy to decode inside a physically based renderer. Once a scene is baked out, our method requires no original geometry, materials, or textures at render time. We demonstrate that our approach compares favorably to state-of-the-art prefiltering methods and achieves considerable savings in memory for complex scenes.

Neural Radiance Field (NeRF), a new novel view synthesis with implicit scene representation has taken the field of Computer Vision by storm. As a novel view synthesis and 3D reconstruction method, NeRF models find applications in robotics, urban mapping, autonomous navigation, virtual reality/augmented reality, and more. Since the original paper by Mildenhall et al., more than 250 preprints were published, with more than 100 eventually being accepted in tier one Computer Vision Conferences. Given NeRF popularity and the current interest in this research area, we believe it necessary to compile a comprehensive survey of NeRF papers from the past two years, which we organized into both architecture, and application based taxonomies. We also provide an introduction to the theory of NeRF based novel view synthesis, and a benchmark comparison of the performance and speed of key NeRF models. By creating this survey, we hope to introduce new researchers to NeRF, provide a helpful reference for influential works in this field, as well as motivate future research directions with our discussion section.
