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。

Recent efforts in Neural Rendering Fields (NeRF) have shown impressive results on novel view synthesis by utilizing implicit neural representation to represent 3D scenes. Due to the process of volumetric rendering, the inference speed for NeRF is extremely slow, limiting the application scenarios of utilizing NeRF on resource-constrained hardware, such as mobile devices. Many works have been conducted to reduce the latency of running NeRF models. However, most of them still require high-end GPU for acceleration or extra storage memory, which is all unavailable on mobile devices. Another emerging direction utilizes the neural light field (NeLF) for speedup, as only one forward pass is performed on a ray to predict the pixel color. Nevertheless, to reach a similar rendering quality as NeRF, the network in NeLF is designed with intensive computation, which is not mobile-friendly. In this work, we propose an efficient network that runs in real-time on mobile devices for neural rendering. We follow the setting of NeLF to train our network. Unlike existing works, we introduce a novel network architecture that runs efficiently on mobile devices with low latency and small size, i.e., saving $15\times \sim 24\times$ storage compared with MobileNeRF. Our model achieves high-resolution generation while maintaining real-time inference for both synthetic and real-world scenes on mobile devices, e.g., $18.04$ms (iPhone 13) for rendering one $1008\times756$ image of real 3D scenes. Additionally, we achieve similar image quality as NeRF and better quality than MobileNeRF (PSNR $26.15$ vs. $25.91$ on the real-world forward-facing dataset).

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。

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.

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。

We present a method that synthesizes novel views of complex scenes by interpolating a sparse set of nearby views. The core of our method is a network architecture that includes a multilayer perceptron and a ray transformer that estimates radiance and volume density at continuous 5D locations (3D spatial locations and 2D viewing directions), drawing appearance information on the fly from multiple source views. By drawing on source views at render time, our method hearkens back to classic work on image-based rendering (IBR), and allows us to render high-resolution imagery. Unlike neural scene representation work that optimizes per-scene functions for rendering, we learn a generic view interpolation function that generalizes to novel scenes. We render images using classic volume rendering, which is fully differentiable and allows us to train using only multiview posed images as supervision. Experiments show that our method outperforms recent novel view synthesis methods that also seek to generalize to novel scenes. Further, if fine-tuned on each scene, our method is competitive with state-of-the-art single-scene neural rendering methods. 1

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。

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。

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.

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。

最近，神经辐射场（NERF）正在彻底改变新型视图合成（NVS）的卓越性能。但是，NERF及其变体通常需要进行冗长的每场训练程序，其中将多层感知器（MLP）拟合到捕获的图像中。为了解决挑战，已经提出了体素网格表示，以显着加快训练的速度。但是，这些现有方法只能处理静态场景。如何开发有效，准确的动态视图合成方法仍然是一个开放的问题。将静态场景的方法扩展到动态场景并不简单，因为场景几何形状和外观随时间变化。在本文中，基于素素网格优化的最新进展，我们提出了一种快速变形的辐射场方法来处理动态场景。我们的方法由两个模块组成。第一个模块采用变形网格来存储3D动态功能，以及使用插值功能将观测空间中的3D点映射到规范空间的变形的轻巧MLP。第二个模块包含密度和颜色网格，以建模场景的几何形状和密度。明确对阻塞进行了建模，以进一步提高渲染质量。实验结果表明，我们的方法仅使用20分钟的训练就可以实现与D-NERF相当的性能，该训练比D-NERF快70倍以上，这清楚地证明了我们提出的方法的效率。

本文提出了一个逐步连接的光场网络（Prolif），以构成复杂的前向场景的新观点。扩散编码一个4D光场，该场允许在一个训练步骤中渲染大量射线，以实现图像或贴片级损失。直接从图像中学习神经光场很难呈现多视图一致的图像，因为它对基础3D几何形状的不了解。为了解决这个问题，我们提出了一种渐进培训计划和正则化损失，以推断训练过程中的基础几何形状，这两者都会实现多视图一致性，从而极大地提高了渲染质量。实验表明，与香草神经光场相比，我们的方法能够实现明显更好的渲染质量，并且与挑战性的LLFF数据集和闪亮对象数据集的类似NERF的渲染方法相当。此外，我们证明了与LPIP的损失更好的兼容性，以实现与不同的光条件和剪辑损失的稳健性，以控制场景的渲染方式。项目页面：https：//totoro97.github.io/projects/prolif。

我们探索了基于神经光场表示的几种新颖观点合成的新策略。给定目标摄像头姿势，隐式神经网络将每个射线映射到其目标像素的颜色。该网络的条件是根据来自显式3D特征量的粗量渲染产生的本地射线特征。该卷是由使用3D Convnet的输入图像构建的。我们的方法在基于最先进的神经辐射场竞争方面，在合成和真实MVS数据上实现了竞争性能，同时提供了100倍的渲染速度。

我们提出了可推广的NERF变压器（GNT），这是一种纯粹的，统一的基于变压器的体系结构，可以从源视图中有效地重建神经辐射场（NERF）。与NERF上的先前作品不同，通过颠倒手工渲染方程来优化人均隐式表示，GNT通过封装两个基于变压器的阶段来实现可概括的神经场景表示和渲染。 GNT的第一阶段，称为View Transformer，利用多视图几何形状作为基于注意力的场景表示的电感偏差，并通过在相邻视图上从异性线中汇总信息来预测与坐标对齐的特征。 GNT的第二阶段，名为Ray Transformer，通过Ray Marching呈现新视图，并使用注意机制直接解码采样点特征的序列。我们的实验表明，当在单个场景上进行优化时，GNT可以在不明确渲染公式的情况下成功重建NERF，甚至由于可学习的射线渲染器，在复杂的场景上甚至将PSNR提高了〜1.3db。当在各种场景中接受培训时，GNT转移到前面的LLFF数据集（LPIPS〜20％，SSIM〜25％$）和合成搅拌器数据集（LPIPS〜20％，SSIM 〜25％$）时，GNN会始终达到最先进的性能4％）。此外，我们表明可以从学习的注意图中推断出深度和遮挡，这意味着纯粹的注意机制能够学习一个物理地面渲染过程。所有这些结果使我们更接近将变形金刚作为“通用建模工具”甚至用于图形的诱人希望。请参阅我们的项目页面以获取视频结果：https：//vita-group.github.io/gnt/。

我们呈现高动态范围神经辐射字段（HDR-NERF），以从一组低动态范围（LDR）视图的HDR辐射率字段与不同的曝光。使用HDR-NERF，我们能够在不同的曝光下生成新的HDR视图和新型LDR视图。我们方法的关键是模拟物理成像过程，该过程决定了场景点的辐射与具有两个隐式功能的LDR图像中的像素值转换为：RADIACE字段和音调映射器。辐射场对场景辐射（值在0到+末端之间的值变化），其通过提供相应的射线源和光线方向来输出光线的密度和辐射。 TONE MAPPER模拟映射过程，即在相机传感器上击中的光线变为像素值。通过将辐射和相应的曝光时间送入音调映射器来预测光线的颜色。我们使用经典的卷渲染技术将输出辐射，颜色和密度投影为HDR和LDR图像，同时只使用输入的LDR图像作为监控。我们收集了一个新的前瞻性的HDR数据集，以评估所提出的方法。综合性和现实世界场景的实验结果验证了我们的方法不仅可以准确控制合成视图的曝光，还可以用高动态范围呈现视图。

Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) have demonstrated superior novel view synthesis performance but are slow at rendering. To speed up the volume rendering process, many acceleration methods have been proposed at the cost of large memory consumption. To push the frontier of the efficiency-memory trade-off, we explore a new perspective to accelerate NeRF rendering, leveraging a key fact that the viewpoint change is usually smooth and continuous in interactive viewpoint control. This allows us to leverage the information of preceding viewpoints to reduce the number of rendered pixels as well as the number of sampled points along the ray of the remaining pixels. In our pipeline, a low-resolution feature map is rendered first by volume rendering, then a lightweight 2D neural renderer is applied to generate the output image at target resolution leveraging the features of preceding and current frames. We show that the proposed method can achieve competitive rendering quality while reducing the rendering time with little memory overhead, enabling 30FPS at 1080P image resolution with a low memory footprint.

Input: 3 views of held-out scene NeRF pixelNeRF Output: Rendered new views Input Novel views Input Novel views Input Novel views Figure 1: NeRF from one or few images. We present pixelNeRF, a learning framework that predicts a Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) representation from a single (top) or few posed images (bottom). PixelNeRF can be trained on a set of multi-view images, allowing it to generate plausible novel view synthesis from very few input images without test-time optimization (bottom left). In contrast, NeRF has no generalization capabilities and performs poorly when only three input views are available (bottom right).

新观点的合成最近通过直接从稀疏观测中学习神经辐射场进行了革命。但是，使用这种新范式渲染图像的速度很慢，因为这样的事实是，该量渲染方程的准确正交需要为每个射线提供大量样品。先前的工作主要集中于加快与每个样本点相关的网络评估，例如，通过将辐射值的缓存到显式的空间数据结构中，但这是以模型紧凑性为代价的。在本文中，我们提出了一种新颖的双网络体系结构，该架构通过学习如何最好地减少所需的样品数量来实现正交方向。为此，我们将网络分为经过共同培训的采样和阴影网络。我们的培训计划采用沿每条射线的固定样品位置，并在整个训练中逐步引入稀疏性，即使在低样本计数下也可以达到高质量。对目标数量的数量进行微调后，可以实时渲染产生的紧凑神经表示。我们的实验表明，我们的方法在质量和框架速率方面超过同时紧凑的神经表示，并且与高效的混合表示相同。代码和补充材料可从https://thomasneff.github.io/adanerf获得。

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.
