like TensoRF: Tensorial Radiance Fields (apchenstu.github.io)+ Mip-NeRF + NGP

  • 类似Mip-NeRF中的采样锥形方法,但是Tri-MipRF使用了与圆锥相切的采样球S=(x,r),代替Mip-NeRF中的多元高斯圆锥体

    • 采样球的半径通过像素圆盘半径$\dot r$(由像素大小in world Coordinate),焦距f和$t_i$确定
  • 类似TensoRF中的分解方法,将空间采样球分解到三个平面上,编码类似NGP中的HashGrid 使用2D平面来存取特征值,构建一个base level:$M^{L_{0}}$,通过downscaling来获得其他level的2D grid平面。

    • 通过base level中interest space的AABB求出$\ddot r$,并联合采样球半径r得到采样球在平面投影的level,根据此level和投影到平面上的二维坐标,在相邻两level $\mathcal{M}_{XY}^{\lfloor l\rfloor}$和$\mathcal{M}_{XY}^{\lceil l\rceil}$的2D grid中采用3线性插值得到采样球的特征值,最后三个分解平面的特征值cat起来作为MLP的一个输入
  • 一种更好的渲染视图方法:Hybrid Volume-Surface Rendering

    • 通过在密度场中marching cubes和网格抽取来获得代理网格,粗略确定相机原点到物体表面的距离
    • 对代理网格进行有效栅格化,以获得圆锥体中轴线表面上的命中点,然后我们在距圆锥体中轴线命中点∆t距离内均匀采样球体,这产生2∆t采样间隔。
    • 优点:可以减少需要采样点的数量,且不会影响渲染出来图片的质量
  • 优点:

    • fine-grained details in close-up views
    • and free of aliasing in distant views
    • 5 minute and smaller model parameters
  • 缺点:

    • 需要使用multi-view segmentation methods将In-the-wildIn数据集中感兴趣的物体提取出来
      • 即需要mask

  • efficient proposal-based coarse-to-fine distillation framework:一个提议网络用来获取权重,用来进行精采样,再通过精采样的点根据NeRF 的MLP得到密度和颜色值

  • regularizer designed for mipNeRF ray intervals:可以有效消除floaters(体积密集空间中不相连的小区域)和背景塌陷(远处的表面被错误地模拟成靠近相机的密集内容的半透明云)

$\begin{gathered}\mathcal{L}_{\mathrm{dist}}(\mathbf{s},\mathbf{w}) =\sum_{i,j}w_iw_j\left|\frac{s_i+s_{i+1}}{2}-\frac{s_j+s_{j+1}}{2}\right| \+\frac13\sum_iw_i^2(s_{i+1}-s_i) \end{gathered}$

  • 一种新的采样方式:锥体采样conical frustums截头圆锥体
  • 基于PE提出了IPE,可以平滑地编码空间体积的大小和形状
  • 将NeRF的粗精采样MLP合并为一个MLP

IPE:当锥体区域较宽(正态分布很宽)时,会将高频的信息积分为0;当区域较窄时,保持原来的PEncoding

创新:一种前背景分离的方法
挑战:

  • First, the training and testing of NeRF and NeRF++ on a single large-scale scene is quite time-consuming and memory-intensive —> NGP解决了耗时
  • Second, small camera calibration errors may impede阻碍 photorealistic synthesis. Robust loss functions, such as the contextual loss (Mechrez et al., 2018), could be applied.
  • Third, photometric effects such as auto-exposure and vignetting渐晕 can also be taken into account to increase image fidelity. This line of investigation is related to the lighting changes addressed in the orthogonal work of Martin-Brualla et al. (2020).

NeuDA变形后的grid距离Surface更近一些,即可以使采样点插值时更多依赖于表面,即渲染时也会更多地考虑到3D空间相邻的信息

创新:Deformable Anchors、HPE、$\mathcal{L}_{norm}$

  • 改进了NGP中的grid表示,8个顶点存储feature—>存储锚点位置,锚点位置经过PE后输入进SDF网络

从仅2~3张的稀疏输入中重建表面

  • 首先,我们提出了一个多层几何推理框架,以粗到细的方式恢复表面。
  • 其次,我们采用了一种多尺度颜色混合方案,该方案联合评估局部和背景亮度一致性,以获得更可靠的颜色预测。
  • 第三,采用一致性感知的微调方案,控制遮挡和图像噪声引起的不一致区域,得到准确、干净的重建。
