Publication number: 20240096001Abstract: Provided are machine learning models that generate geometry-free neural scene representations through efficient object-centric novel-view synthesis. In particular, one example aspect of the present disclosure provides a novel framework in which an encoder model (e.g., an encoder transformer network) processes one or more RGB images (with or without pose) to produce a fully latent scene representation that can be passed to a decoder model (e.g., a decoder transformer network). Given one or more target poses, the decoder model can synthesize images in a single forward pass. In some example implementations, because transformers are used rather than convolutional or MLP networks, the encoder can learn an attention model that extracts enough 3D information about a scene from a small set of images to render novel views with correct projections, parallax, occlusions, and even semantics, without explicit geometry.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Seyed Mohammad Mehdi Sajjadi, Henning Meyer, Etienne François Régis Pot, Urs Michael Bergmann, Klaus Greff, Noha Radwan, Suhani Deepak-Ranu Vora, Mario Lu¢i¢, Daniel Christopher Duckworth, Thomas Allen Funkhouser, Andrea Tagliasacchi
