Hinged on the representation power of neural networks, neural radiance fields (NeRF) have recently emerged as one of the promising and widely applicable methods for 3D object and scene representation. However, NeRF faces challenges in practical applications, such as large-scale scenes and edge devices with a limited amount of memory, where data needs to be processed sequentially. Under such incremental learning scenarios, neural networks are known to suffer catastrophic forgetting: easily forgetting previously seen data after training with new data. We observe that previous incremental learning algorithms are limited by either low performance or memory scalability issues. As such, we develop a Memory-Efficient Incremental Learning algorithm for NeRF (MEIL-NeRF). MEIL-NeRF takes inspiration from NeRF itself in that a neural network can serve as a memory that provides the pixel RGB values, given rays as queries. Upon the motivation, our framework learns which rays to query NeRF to extract previous pixel values. The extracted pixel values are then used to train NeRF in a self-distillation manner to prevent catastrophic forgetting. As a result, MEIL-NeRF demonstrates constant memory consumption and competitive performance.

Recent neural radiance field (NeRF) representation has achieved great success in the tasks of novel view synthesis and 3D reconstruction. However, they suffer from the catastrophic forgetting problem when continuously learning from streaming data without revisiting the previous training data. This limitation prohibits the application of existing NeRF models to scenarios where images come in sequentially. In view of this, we explore the task of incremental learning for neural radiance field representation in this work. We first propose a student-teacher pipeline to mitigate the catastrophic forgetting problem. Specifically, we iterate the process of using the student as the teacher at the end of each incremental step and let the teacher guide the training of the student in the next step. In this way, the student network is able to learn new information from the streaming data and retain old knowledge from the teacher network simultaneously. Given that not all information from the teacher network is helpful since it is only trained with the old data, we further introduce a random inquirer and an uncertainty-based filter to filter useful information. We conduct experiments on the NeRF-synthetic360 and NeRF-real360 datasets, where our approach significantly outperforms the baselines by 7.3% and 25.2% in terms of PSNR. Furthermore, we also show that our approach can be applied to the large-scale camera facing-outwards dataset ScanNet, where we surpass the baseline by 60.0% in PSNR.

神经辐射场（NERF）在代表3D场景和合成新颖视图中示出了很大的潜力，但是在推理阶段的NERF的计算开销仍然很重。为了减轻负担，我们进入了NERF的粗细分，分层采样过程，并指出粗阶段可以被我们命名神经样本场的轻量级模块代替。所提出的示例场地图光线进入样本分布，可以将其转换为点坐标并进料到radiance字段以进行体积渲染。整体框架被命名为Neusample。我们在现实合成360 $ ^ {\ circ} $和真正的前瞻性，两个流行的3D场景集上进行实验，并表明Neusample在享受更快推理速度时比NERF实现更好的渲染质量。Neusample进一步压缩，以提出的样品场提取方法朝向质量和速度之间的更好的权衡。

我们提出了一种基于神经隐式表示的少量新型视图综合信息 - 理论正规化技术。所提出的方法最小化由于在每个光线中强制密度的熵约束而发生的潜在的重建不一致。另外，当从几乎冗余的观点获取所有训练图像时，为了减轻潜在的退化问题，我们还通过限制来自一对略微不同观点的光线的信息增益来将空间平滑度约束纳入估计的图像。我们的算法的主要思想是使重建的场景沿各个光线紧凑，并在附近的光线上一致。所提出的常规方基于Nerf以直接的方式插入大部分现有的神经体积渲染技术。尽管其简单性，但是，与现有的神经观察合成方法通过大量标准基准测试的现有神经观察方法相比，我们实现了一致的性能。我们的项目网站可用于\ url {http://cvlab.snu.ac.kr/research/infonerf}。

Neural Radiance Field(NeRF) has exhibited outstanding three-dimensional(3D) reconstruction quality via the novel view synthesis from multi-view images and paired calibrated camera parameters. However, previous NeRF-based systems have been demonstrated under strictly controlled settings, with little attention paid to less ideal scenarios, including with the presence of noise such as exposure, illumination changes, and blur. In particular, though blur frequently occurs in real situations, NeRF that can handle blurred images has received little attention. The few studies that have investigated NeRF for blurred images have not considered geometric and appearance consistency in 3D space, which is one of the most important factors in 3D reconstruction. This leads to inconsistency and the degradation of the perceptual quality of the constructed scene. Hence, this paper proposes a DP-NeRF, a novel clean NeRF framework for blurred images, which is constrained with two physical priors. These priors are derived from the actual blurring process during image acquisition by the camera. DP-NeRF proposes rigid blurring kernel to impose 3D consistency utilizing the physical priors and adaptive weight proposal to refine the color composition error in consideration of the relationship between depth and blur. We present extensive experimental results for synthetic and real scenes with two types of blur: camera motion blur and defocus blur. The results demonstrate that DP-NeRF successfully improves the perceptual quality of the constructed NeRF ensuring 3D geometric and appearance consistency. We further demonstrate the effectiveness of our model with comprehensive ablation analysis.

在本文中，我们为复杂场景进行了高效且强大的深度学习解决方案。在我们的方法中，3D场景表示为光场，即，一组光线，每组在到达图像平面时具有相应的颜色。对于高效的新颖视图渲染，我们采用了光场的双面参数化，其中每个光线的特征在于4D参数。然后，我们将光场配向作为4D函数，即将4D坐标映射到相应的颜色值。我们训练一个深度完全连接的网络以优化这种隐式功能并记住3D场景。然后，特定于场景的模型用于综合新颖视图。与以前需要密集的视野的方法不同，需要密集的视野采样来可靠地呈现新颖的视图，我们的方法可以通过采样光线来呈现新颖的视图并直接从网络查询每种光线的颜色，从而使高质量的灯场呈现稀疏集合训练图像。网络可以可选地预测每光深度，从而使诸如自动重新焦点的应用。我们的小说视图合成结果与最先进的综合结果相当，甚至在一些具有折射和反射的具有挑战性的场景中优越。我们在保持交互式帧速率和小的内存占地面积的同时实现这一点。

In recent years, the performance of novel view synthesis using perspective images has dramatically improved with the advent of neural radiance fields (NeRF). This study proposes two novel techniques that effectively build NeRF for 360{\textdegree} omnidirectional images. Due to the characteristics of a 360{\textdegree} image of ERP format that has spatial distortion in their high latitude regions and a 360{\textdegree} wide viewing angle, NeRF's general ray sampling strategy is ineffective. Hence, the view synthesis accuracy of NeRF is limited and learning is not efficient. We propose two non-uniform ray sampling schemes for NeRF to suit 360{\textdegree} images - distortion-aware ray sampling and content-aware ray sampling. We created an evaluation dataset Synth360 using Replica and SceneCity models of indoor and outdoor scenes, respectively. In experiments, we show that our proposal successfully builds 360{\textdegree} image NeRF in terms of both accuracy and efficiency. The proposal is widely applicable to advanced variants of NeRF. DietNeRF, AugNeRF, and NeRF++ combined with the proposed techniques further improve the performance. Moreover, we show that our proposed method enhances the quality of real-world scenes in 360{\textdegree} images. Synth360: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1suL9B7DO2no21ggiIHkH3JF3OecasQLb.

我们提出了高动态范围辐射（HDR）字段，HDR-PLENOXELS，它学习了3D HDR辐射场的肺化功能，几何信息和2D低动态范围（LDR）图像中固有的不同摄像机设置。我们基于体素的卷渲染管道可重建HDR辐射字段，仅以端到端的方式从不同的相机设置中拍摄的多视图LDR图像，并且具有快速的收敛速度。为了在现实世界中处理各种摄像机，我们引入了一个音调映射模块，该模块模拟了数字相机内成像管道（ISP）（ISP）和DISTANGLES辐射测定设置。我们的音调映射模块可以通过控制每个新型视图的辐射设置来渲染。最后，我们构建一个具有不同摄像机条件的多视图数据集，适合我们的问题设置。我们的实验表明，HDR-Plenoxels可以从具有各种相机的LDR图像中表达细节和高质量的HDR新型视图。

关于神经辐射场（NERF）的最新研究爆炸表明，具有神经网络的复杂场面具有令人鼓舞的潜力。 NERF的一个主要缺点是它的推理时间：渲染单像素需要数百次查询NERF网络。为了解决它，现有的努力主要试图减少所需的采样点的数量。但是，迭代采样的问题仍然存在。另一方面，神经光场（NELF）在新型视图合成中对NERF提出了更直接的表示 - 像素的渲染相当于一个单一的正向通行，而无需射线建设。在这项工作中，我们提出了一个深层残留的MLP网络（88层），以有效地学习光场。我们展示了成功学习这种深度NELF网络的关键，就是拥有足够的数据，我们通过数据蒸馏从预训练的NERF模型中转移知识。在合成和现实世界场景上进行的广泛实验表明，我们方法比其他对应算法的优点。在合成场景中，我们实现了26-35倍的拖鞋（每个摄像头射线）和28-31倍的运行时加速，同时提供了比NERF的呈现质量（1.4-2.8 dB的平均PSNR改善），而无需任何定制的并行性要求。

神经辐射场（NERF）是数据驱动3D重建中的流行方法。鉴于其简单性和高质量的渲染，正在开发许多NERF应用程序。但是，NERF的大量的速度很大。许多尝试如何加速NERF培训和推理，包括复杂的代码级优化和缓存，使用复杂的数据结构以及通过多任务和元学习的摊销。在这项工作中，我们通过NERF之前通过经典技术镜头重新审视NERF的基本构建块。我们提出了Voxel-Accelated Nerf（VaxnerF），与Visual Hull集成了Nerf，一种经典的3D重建技术，只需要每张图像的二进制前景背景像素标签。可视船体，可在大约10秒内优化，可以提供粗略的现场分离，以省略NERF中的大量网络评估。我们在流行的JAXNERF Codebase提供了一个干净的全力验光，基于JAX的实现，其仅包括大约30行的代码更改和模块化视觉船体子程序，并在高度表现的JAXNERF之上实现了大约2-8倍的速度学习基线具有零劣化呈现质量。具有足够的计算，这有效地将单位训练从小时到30分钟缩小到30分钟。我们希望VAXNERF - 一种仔细组合具有深入方法的经典技术（可谓更换它） - 可以赋予并加速新的NERF扩展和应用，以其简单，可移植性和可靠的性能收益。代码在https://github.com/naruya/vaxnerf提供。

由于其显着的合成质量，最近，神经辐射场（NERF）最近对3D场景重建和新颖的视图合成进行了相当大的关注。然而，由散焦或运动引起的图像模糊，这通常发生在野外的场景中，显着降低了其重建质量。为了解决这个问题，我们提出了DeBlur-nerf，这是一种可以从模糊输入恢复尖锐的nerf的第一种方法。我们采用逐合成方法来通过模拟模糊过程来重建模糊的视图，从而使NERF对模糊输入的鲁棒。该仿真的核心是一种新型可变形稀疏内核（DSK）模块，其通过在每个空间位置变形规范稀疏内核来模拟空间变形模糊内核。每个内核点的射线起源是共同优化的，受到物理模糊过程的启发。该模块作为MLP参数化，具有能够概括为各种模糊类型。联合优化NERF和DSK模块允许我们恢复尖锐的NERF。我们证明我们的方法可用于相机运动模糊和散焦模糊：真实场景中的两个最常见的模糊。合成和现实世界数据的评估结果表明，我们的方法优于几个基线。合成和真实数据集以及源代码将公开可用于促进未来的研究。

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.

We present a learning-based method for synthesizing novel views of complex scenes using only unstructured collections of in-the-wild photographs. We build on Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF), which uses the weights of a multilayer perceptron to model the density and color of a scene as a function of 3D coordinates. While NeRF works well on images of static subjects captured under controlled settings, it is incapable of modeling many ubiquitous, real-world phenomena in uncontrolled images, such as variable illumination or transient occluders. We introduce a series of extensions to NeRF to address these issues, thereby enabling accurate reconstructions from unstructured image collections taken from the internet. We apply our system, dubbed NeRF-W, to internet photo collections of famous landmarks, and demonstrate temporally consistent novel view renderings that are significantly closer to photorealism than the prior state of the art.

学习辐射场对新型视图综合显示出了显着的结果。学习过程通常会花费大量时间，这激发了最新方法，通过没有神经网络或使用更有效的数据结构来通过学习来加快学习过程。但是，这些专门设计的方法不适用于大多数基于辐射的方法的方法。为了解决此问题，我们引入了一项一般策略，以加快几乎所有基于辐射的方法的学习过程。我们的关键想法是通过在多视图卷渲染过程中拍摄较少的射线来减少冗余，这是几乎所有基于辐射的方法的基础。我们发现，在具有巨大色彩变化的像素上的射击不仅显着减轻了训练负担，而且几乎不会影响学到的辐射场的准确性。此外，我们还根据树中每个节点的平均渲染误差将每个视图自适应地细分为Quadtree，这使我们在更复杂的区域中动态射击更多的射线，并具有较大的渲染误差。我们在广泛使用的基准下使用不同的基于辐射的方法评估我们的方法。实验结果表明，我们的方法通过更快的训练获得了与最先进的可比精度。

In this paper, we present a novel and effective framework, named 4K-NeRF, to pursue high fidelity view synthesis on the challenging scenarios of ultra high resolutions, building on the methodology of neural radiance fields (NeRF). The rendering procedure of NeRF-based methods typically relies on a pixel wise manner in which rays (or pixels) are treated independently on both training and inference phases, limiting its representational ability on describing subtle details especially when lifting to a extremely high resolution. We address the issue by better exploring ray correlation for enhancing high-frequency details benefiting from the use of geometry-aware local context. Particularly, we use the view-consistent encoder to model geometric information effectively in a lower resolution space and recover fine details through the view-consistent decoder, conditioned on ray features and depths estimated by the encoder. Joint training with patch-based sampling further facilitates our method incorporating the supervision from perception oriented regularization beyond pixel wise loss. Quantitative and qualitative comparisons with modern NeRF methods demonstrate that our method can significantly boost rendering quality for retaining high-frequency details, achieving the state-of-the-art visual quality on 4K ultra-high-resolution scenario.

我们提出了X-NERF，这是一种基于神经辐射场公式，从具有不同光谱敏感性的相机捕获的跨光谱场景表示的新颖方法，给出了从具有不同光谱灵敏度的相机捕获的图像。X-NERF在训练过程中优化了整个光谱的相机姿势，并利用归一化的跨设备坐标（NXDC）从任意观点呈现不同模态的图像，这些观点是对齐的，并以相同的分辨率对齐。在16个前面的场景上进行的实验，具有颜色，多光谱和红外图像，证实了X-NERF在建模跨光谱场景表示方面的有效性。

最近，神经辐射场（NERF）在重建3D场景并从一组稀疏的2D图像中综合新视图方面表现出了有希望的表演。尽管有效，但NERF的性能受到训练样品质量的很大影响。由于现场有限的图像，Nerf无法很好地概括到新颖的观点，并可能崩溃到未观察到的区域中的琐碎解决方案。这使得在资源约束的情况下不切实际。在本文中，我们提出了一个新颖的学习框架Activenerf，旨在模拟一个3D场景，并具有限制的输入预算。具体而言，我们首先将不确定性估计纳入NERF模型，该模型在很少的观察下确保了鲁棒性，并提供了NERF如何理解场景的解释。在此基础上，我们建议根据积极学习方案将现有的培训设置补充新捕获的样本。通过评估给定新输入的不确定性的降低，我们选择了带来最多信息增益的样本。这样，可以通过最少的额外资源来提高新型视图合成的质量。广泛的实验验证了我们模型在现实和合成场景上的性能，尤其是在稀缺的训练数据中。代码将在\ url {https://github.com/leaplabthu/activenerf}上发布。

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.

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.

神经场景表示，例如神经辐射场（NERF），基于训练多层感知器（MLP），使用一组具有已知姿势的彩色图像。现在，越来越多的设备产生RGB-D（颜色 +深度）信息，这对于各种任务非常重要。因此，本文的目的是通过将深度信息与颜色图像结合在一起，研究这些有希望的隐式表示可以进行哪些改进。特别是，最近建议的MIP-NERF方法使用圆锥形的圆丝而不是射线进行音量渲染，它使人们可以考虑具有距离距离摄像头中心距离的像素的不同区域。所提出的方法还模拟了深度不确定性。这允许解决基于NERF的方法的主要局限性，包括提高几何形状的准确性，减少伪像，更快的训练时间和缩短预测时间。实验是在众所周知的基准场景上进行的，并且比较在场景几何形状和光度重建中的准确性提高，同时将训练时间减少了3-5次。
