Creating realistic virtual assets is a time-consuming process: it usually involves an artist designing the object, then spending a lot of effort on tweaking its appearance. Intricate details and certain effects, such as subsurface scattering, elude representation using real-time BRDFs, making it impossible to fully capture the appearance of certain objects. Inspired by the recent progress of neural rendering, we propose an approach for capturing real-world objects in everyday environments faithfully and fast. We use a novel neural representation to reconstruct volumetric effects, such as translucent object parts, and preserve photorealistic object appearance. To support real-time rendering without compromising rendering quality, our model uses a grid of features and a small MLP decoder that is transpiled into efficient shader code with interactive framerates. This leads to a seamless integration of the proposed neural assets with existing mesh environments and objects. Thanks to the use of standard shader code rendering is portable across many existing hardware and software systems.

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...

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。

我们人类正在进入虚拟时代，确实想将动物带到虚拟世界中。然而，计算机生成的（CGI）毛茸茸的动物受到乏味的离线渲染的限制，更不用说交互式运动控制了。在本文中，我们提出了Artemis，这是一种新型的神经建模和渲染管道，用于生成具有外观和运动合成的清晰神经宠物。我们的Artemis可以实现互动运动控制，实时动画和毛茸茸的动物的照片真实渲染。我们的Artemis的核心是神经生成的（NGI）动物引擎，该动物发动机采用了有效的基于OCTREE的动物动画和毛皮渲染的代表。然后，该动画等同于基于显式骨骼翘曲的体素级变形。我们进一步使用快速的OCTREE索引和有效的体积渲染方案来生成外观和密度特征地图。最后，我们提出了一个新颖的阴影网络，以在外观和密度特征图中生成外观和不透明度的高保真细节。对于Artemis中的运动控制模块，我们将最新动物运动捕获方法与最近的神经特征控制方案相结合。我们引入了一种有效的优化方案，以重建由多视图RGB和Vicon相机阵列捕获的真实动物的骨骼运动。我们将所有捕获的运动馈送到神经角色控制方案中，以生成具有运动样式的抽象控制信号。我们将Artemis进一步整合到支持VR耳机的现有引擎中，提供了前所未有的沉浸式体验，用户可以与各种具有生动动作和光真实外观的虚拟动物进行紧密互动。我们可以通过https://haiminluo.github.io/publication/artemis/提供我们的Artemis模型和动态毛茸茸的动物数据集。

对于场景重建和新型视图综合的数量表示形式的普及最近，人们的普及使重点放在以高视觉质量和实时为实时的体积内容动画上。尽管基于学习功能的隐性变形方法可以产生令人印象深刻的结果，但它们是艺术家和内容创建者的“黑匣子”，但它们需要大量的培训数据才能有意义地概括，并且在培训数据之外不会产生现实的外推。在这项工作中，我们通过引入实时的音量变形方法来解决这些问题，该方法是实时的，易于使用现成的软件编辑，并且可以令人信服地推断出来。为了证明我们方法的多功能性，我们将其应用于两种情况：基于物理的对象变形和触发性，其中使用Blendshapes控制着头像。我们还进行了彻底的实验，表明我们的方法与两种体积方法相比，结合了基于网格变形的隐式变形和方法。

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.

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.

最近，我们看到了照片真实的人类建模和渲染的神经进展取得的巨大进展。但是，将它们集成到现有的下游应用程序中的现有网络管道中仍然具有挑战性。在本文中，我们提出了一种全面的神经方法，用于从密集的多视频视频中对人类表演进行高质量重建，压缩和渲染。我们的核心直觉是用一系列高效的神经技术桥接传统的动画网格工作流程。我们首先引入一个神经表面重建器，以在几分钟内进行高质量的表面产生。它与多分辨率哈希编码的截短签名距离场（TSDF）的隐式体积渲染相结合。我们进一步提出了一个混合神经跟踪器来生成动画网格，该网格将明确的非刚性跟踪与自我监督框架中的隐式动态变形结合在一起。前者将粗糙的翘曲返回到规范空间中，而后者隐含的一个隐含物进一步预测了使用4D哈希编码的位移，如我们的重建器中。然后，我们使用获得的动画网格讨论渲染方案，从动态纹理到各种带宽设置下的Lumigraph渲染。为了在质量和带宽之间取得复杂的平衡，我们通过首先渲染6个虚拟视图来涵盖表演者，然后进行闭塞感知的神经纹理融合，提出一个分层解决方案。我们证明了我们方法在各种平台上的各种基于网格的应用程序和照片真实的自由观看体验中的功效，即，通过移动AR插入虚拟人类的表演，或通过移动AR插入真实环境，或带有VR头戴式的人才表演。

我们提出了一种有效的方法，用于从多视图图像观察中联合优化拓扑，材料和照明。与最近的多视图重建方法不同，通常在神经网络中产生纠缠的3D表示，我们将三角形网格输出具有空间不同的材料和环境照明，这些方法可以在任何传统的图形引擎中未修改。我们利用近期工作在可差异化的渲染中，基于坐标的网络紧凑地代表体积纹理，以及可微分的游行四边形，以便直接在表面网上直接实现基于梯度的优化。最后，我们介绍了环境照明的分流和近似的可分辨率配方，以有效地回收全频照明。实验表明我们的提取模型用于高级场景编辑，材料分解和高质量的视图插值，全部以三角形的渲染器（光栅化器和路径示踪剂）的交互式速率运行。

View-dependent effects such as reflections pose a substantial challenge for image-based and neural rendering algorithms. Above all, curved reflectors are particularly hard, as they lead to highly non-linear reflection flows as the camera moves. We introduce a new point-based representation to compute Neural Point Catacaustics allowing novel-view synthesis of scenes with curved reflectors, from a set of casually-captured input photos. At the core of our method is a neural warp field that models catacaustic trajectories of reflections, so complex specular effects can be rendered using efficient point splatting in conjunction with a neural renderer. One of our key contributions is the explicit representation of reflections with a reflection point cloud which is displaced by the neural warp field, and a primary point cloud which is optimized to represent the rest of the scene. After a short manual annotation step, our approach allows interactive high-quality renderings of novel views with accurate reflection flow. Additionally, the explicit representation of reflection flow supports several forms of scene manipulation in captured scenes, such as reflection editing, cloning of specular objects, reflection tracking across views, and comfortable stereo viewing. We provide the source code and other supplemental material on https://repo-sam.inria.fr/ fungraph/neural_catacaustics/

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.

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。

Figure 1. Given a monocular image sequence, NR-NeRF reconstructs a single canonical neural radiance field to represent geometry and appearance, and a per-time-step deformation field. We can render the scene into a novel spatio-temporal camera trajectory that significantly differs from the input trajectory. NR-NeRF also learns rigidity scores and correspondences without direct supervision on either. We can use the rigidity scores to remove the foreground, we can supersample along the time dimension, and we can exaggerate or dampen motion.

到目前为止，已经研究了基于学习坐标的体积3D场景表示，例如神经辐射场（NERF），假设RGB或RGB-D图像是输入。同时，从神经科学文献中知道，人类视觉系统（HVS）的定制是为了处理异步亮度而不是同步的RGB图像，以构建和不断更新周围环境的心理3D表示，以进行导航和生存。受HVS原理启发的视觉传感器是事件摄像机。因此，事件是稀疏和异步的每个像素亮度（或颜色通道）更改信号。与神经3D场景表示学习的现有作品相反，本文从新的角度解决了问题。我们证明，可以从异步事件流中学习适用于RGB空间中新型视图合成的NERF。我们的模型在RGB空间中具有挑战性场景的新颖的视野具有很高的视觉准确性，即使它们的数据训练得多（即，来自单个事件摄像机的事件流围绕对象移动）并更有效（由于其效率更高（由于其培训）（由于事件流的固有稀疏性）比现有的NERF模型接受了RGB图像。我们将发布我们的数据集和源代码，请参见https://4dqv.mpi-inf.mpg.de/eventnerf/。

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。

3D reconstruction and novel view synthesis of dynamic scenes from collections of single views recently gained increased attention. Existing work shows impressive results for synthetic setups and forward-facing real-world data, but is severely limited in the training speed and angular range for generating novel views. This paper addresses these limitations and proposes a new method for full 360{\deg} novel view synthesis of non-rigidly deforming scenes. At the core of our method are: 1) An efficient deformation module that decouples the processing of spatial and temporal information for acceleration at training and inference time; and 2) A static module representing the canonical scene as a fast hash-encoded neural radiance field. We evaluate the proposed approach on the established synthetic D-NeRF benchmark, that enables efficient reconstruction from a single monocular view per time-frame randomly sampled from a full hemisphere. We refer to this form of inputs as monocularized data. To prove its practicality for real-world scenarios, we recorded twelve challenging sequences with human actors by sampling single frames from a synchronized multi-view rig. In both cases, our method is trained significantly faster than previous methods (minutes instead of days) while achieving higher visual accuracy for generated novel views. Our source code and data is available at our project page https://graphics.tu-bs.de/publications/kappel2022fast.

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.

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。
