Abstract: A single two-dimensional (2D) image can be used as input to obtain a three-dimensional (3D) representation of the 2D image. This is done by extracting features from the 2D image by an encoder and determining a 3D representation of the 2D image utilizing a trained 2D convolutional neural network (CNN). Volumetric rendering is then run on the 3D representation to combine features within one or more viewing directions, and the combined features are provided as input to a multilayer perceptron (MLP) that predicts and outputs color (or multi-dimensional neural features) and density values for each point within the 3D representation. As a result, single-image inverse rendering may be performed using only a single 2D image as input to create a corresponding 3D representation of the scene in the single 2D image.

Abstract: Disclosed are an image processing method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The image processing method determines mapping coordinates of a pixel point in a pixel block with one pixel block as a unit, and in this process, only a first pixel in the pixel block transformed through homography transformation based on a homography transformation formula to obtain projection coordinates thereof, and mapping coordinates of other pixel points (that is, second pixels) in the pixel block may be determined through a positional relationship between one of the plurality of second pixels and the first pixel in the pixel block. In this way, times of the homography transformation may be reduced, which is beneficial to reducing quantity of computation required by an entire image processing method and improving computation efficiency of the image processing method.
