重建反向渲染技术的最新趋势使用神经网络将3D表示作为神经领域。基于NERF的技术将多层感知器（MLP）拟合到一组训练图像，以估算一个辐射场字段，然后可以通过卷渲染算法从任何虚拟摄像机呈现。这些表示形式的主要缺点是缺乏定义明确的表面和非交互式渲染时间，因为必须查询宽大和深的MLP，每个框架必须查询数百万次。这些限制最近被单一克服了，但是设法同时完成了这一限制，从而打开了新的用例。我们提出了Kiloneus，这是一种新的神经对象表示，可以在交互式框架速率下的路径跟踪场景中渲染。 Kiloneus可以在共享场景中对神经和经典原语之间的逼真的光相互作用进行模拟，并且它可以实时执行，并有足够的空间进行未来的优化和扩展。

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.

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...

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.

我们建议使用以光源方向为条件的神经辐射场（NERF）的扩展来解决多视光度立体声问题。我们神经表示的几何部分预测表面正常方向，使我们能够理解局部表面反射率。我们的神经表示的外观部分被分解为神经双向反射率函数（BRDF），作为拟合过程的一部分学习，阴影预测网络（以光源方向为条件），使我们能够对明显的BRDF进行建模。基于物理图像形成模型的诱导偏差的学到的组件平衡使我们能够远离训练期间观察到的光源和查看器方向。我们证明了我们在多视光学立体基准基准上的方法，并表明可以通过NERF的神经密度表示可以获得竞争性能。

We present a method that takes as input a set of images of a scene illuminated by unconstrained known lighting, and produces as output a 3D representation that can be rendered from novel viewpoints under arbitrary lighting conditions. Our method represents the scene as a continuous volumetric function parameterized as MLPs whose inputs are a 3D location and whose outputs are the following scene properties at that input location: volume density, surface normal, material parameters, distance to the first surface intersection in any direction, and visibility of the external environment in any direction. Together, these allow us to render novel views of the object under arbitrary lighting, including indirect illumination effects. The predicted visibility and surface intersection fields are critical to our model's ability to simulate direct and indirect illumination during training, because the brute-force techniques used by prior work are intractable for lighting conditions outside of controlled setups with a single light. Our method outperforms alternative approaches for recovering relightable 3D scene representations, and performs well in complex lighting settings that have posed a significant challenge to prior work.

最近的神经渲染方法通过用神经网络预测体积密度和颜色来证明了准确的视图插值。虽然可以在静态和动态场景上监督这种体积表示，但是现有方法隐含地将完整的场景光传输释放到一个神经网络中，用于给定场景，包括曲面建模，双向散射分布函数和间接照明效果。与传统的渲染管道相比，这禁止在场景中改变表面反射率，照明或构成其他物体。在这项工作中，我们明确地模拟了场景表面之间的光传输，我们依靠传统的集成方案和渲染方程来重建场景。所提出的方法允许BSDF恢复，具有未知的光条件和诸如路径传输的经典光传输。通过在传统渲染方法中建立的表面表示的分解传输，该方法自然促进了编辑形状，反射率，照明和场景组成。该方法优于神经，在已知的照明条件下可发光，并为refit和编辑场景产生现实的重建。我们验证了从综合和捕获的视图上了解的场景编辑，致密和反射率估算的建议方法，并捕获了神经数据集的子集。

神经辐射场（NERF）最近在新型视图合成中取得了令人印象深刻的结果。但是，以前的NERF作品主要关注以对象为中心的方案。在这项工作中，我们提出了360ROAM，这是一种新颖的场景级NERF系统，可以实时合成大型室内场景的图像并支持VR漫游。我们的系统首先从多个输入$ 360^\ circ $图像构建全向神经辐射场360NERF。然后，我们逐步估算一个3D概率的占用图，该概率占用图代表了空间密度形式的场景几何形状。跳过空的空间和上采样占据的体素本质上可以使我们通过以几何学意识的方式使用360NERF加速量渲染。此外，我们使用自适应划分和扭曲策略来减少和调整辐射场，以进一步改进。从占用地图中提取的场景的平面图可以为射线采样提供指导，并促进现实的漫游体验。为了显示我们系统的功效，我们在各种场景中收集了$ 360^\ Circ $图像数据集并进行广泛的实验。基线之间的定量和定性比较说明了我们在复杂室内场景的新型视图合成中的主要表现。

We present a method that achieves state-of-the-art results for synthesizing novel views of complex scenes by optimizing an underlying continuous volumetric scene function using a sparse set of input views. Our algorithm represents a scene using a fully-connected (nonconvolutional) deep network, whose input is a single continuous 5D coordinate (spatial location (x, y, z) and viewing direction (θ, φ)) and whose output is the volume density and view-dependent emitted radiance at that spatial location. We synthesize views by querying 5D coordinates along camera rays and use classic volume rendering techniques to project the output colors and densities into an image. Because volume rendering is naturally differentiable, the only input required to optimize our representation is a set of images with known camera poses. We describe how to effectively optimize neural radiance fields to render photorealistic novel views of scenes with complicated geometry and appearance, and demonstrate results that outperform prior work on neural rendering and view synthesis. View synthesis results are best viewed as videos, so we urge readers to view our supplementary video for convincing comparisons.

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. Code and data are available at our website: https://github.com/facebookresearch/NSVF.

Neural signed distance functions (SDFs) are emerging as an effective representation for 3D shapes. State-of-theart methods typically encode the SDF with a large, fixedsize neural network to approximate complex shapes with implicit surfaces. Rendering with these large networks is, however, computationally expensive since it requires many forward passes through the network for every pixel, making these representations impractical for real-time graphics. We introduce an efficient neural representation that, for the first time, enables real-time rendering of high-fidelity neural SDFs, while achieving state-of-the-art geometry reconstruction quality. We represent implicit surfaces using an octree-based feature volume which adaptively fits shapes with multiple discrete levels of detail (LODs), and enables continuous LOD with SDF interpolation. We further develop an efficient algorithm to directly render our novel neural SDF representation in real-time by querying only the necessary LODs with sparse octree traversal. We show that our representation is 2-3 orders of magnitude more efficient in terms of rendering speed compared to previous works. Furthermore, it produces state-of-the-art reconstruction quality for complex shapes under both 3D geometric and 2D image-space metrics.

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.

我们提出了一种使用高质量的OCTREE发射的代表来渲染复杂灯具的有效方法。复杂的灯具在渲染中是一个特别具有挑战性的问题，因为它们的腐蚀性光路在灯具内部。我们通过使用简单的代理几何形状来降低照明器的几何复杂性，并使用神经辐射场编码视觉复杂的发射光场。我们通过提出专门的损失函数来应对代表灯具的多重挑战，包括其高动态范围，高频含量和空发射区域。为了进行渲染，我们将灯具的nerf提炼成圆锥状的，我们可以轻松地将其集成到传统的渲染系统中。我们的方法允许在包含最小误差的复杂灯具的场景中加速2个数量级。

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。

神经辐射场（NERFS）表现出惊人的能力，可以从新颖的观点中综合3D场景的图像。但是，他们依赖于基于射线行进的专门体积渲染算法，这些算法与广泛部署的图形硬件的功能不匹配。本文介绍了基于纹理多边形的新的NERF表示形式，该表示可以有效地与标准渲染管道合成新型图像。 NERF表示为一组多边形，其纹理代表二进制不相处和特征向量。用Z-Buffer对多边形的传统渲染产生了每个像素的图像，该图像由在片段着色器中运行的小型，观点依赖的MLP来解释，以产生最终的像素颜色。这种方法使NERF可以使用传统的Polygon栅格化管道渲染，该管道提供了庞大的像素级并行性，从而在包括移动电话在内的各种计算平台上实现了交互式帧速率。

通过隐式表示表示视觉信号（例如，基于坐标的深网）在许多视觉任务中都占了上风。这项工作探讨了一个新的有趣的方向：使用可以适用于各种2D和3D场景的广义方法训练风格化的隐式表示。我们对各种隐式函数进行了试点研究，包括基于2D坐标的表示，神经辐射场和签名距离函数。我们的解决方案是一个统一的隐式神经风化框架，称为INS。与Vanilla隐式表示相反，INS将普通隐式函数分解为样式隐式模块和内容隐式模块，以便从样式图像和输入场景中分别编码表示表示。然后，应用合并模块来汇总这些信息并合成样式化的输出。为了使3D场景中的几何形状进行正规化，我们提出了一种新颖的自我鉴定几何形状一致性损失，该损失保留了风格化场景的几何忠诚度。全面的实验是在多个任务设置上进行的，包括对复杂场景的新型综合，隐式表面的风格化以及使用MLP拟合图像。我们进一步证明，学到的表示不仅是连续的，而且在风格上都是连续的，从而导致不同样式之间毫不费力地插值，并以新的混合样式生成图像。请参阅我们的项目页面上的视频以获取更多查看综合结果：https：//zhiwenfan.github.io/ins。

神经辐射场（NERFS）产生最先进的视图合成结果。然而，它们慢渲染，需要每像素数百个网络评估，以近似卷渲染积分。将nerfs烘烤到明确的数据结构中实现了有效的渲染，但导致内存占地面积的大幅增加，并且在许多情况下，质量降低。在本文中，我们提出了一种新的神经光场表示，相反，相反，紧凑，直接预测沿线的集成光线。我们的方法支持使用每个像素的单个网络评估，用于小基线光场数据集，也可以应用于每个像素的几个评估的较大基线。在我们的方法的核心，是一个光线空间嵌入网络，将4D射线空间歧管映射到中间可间可动子的潜在空间中。我们的方法在诸如斯坦福光场数据集等密集的前置数据集中实现了最先进的质量。此外，对于带有稀疏输入的面对面的场景，我们可以在质量方面实现对基于NERF的方法具有竞争力的结果，同时提供更好的速度/质量/内存权衡，网络评估较少。
