  • Publication number: 20240193850
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for generating editable synthesized views of scenes by inputting image rays into neural networks using neural basis decomposition. In embodiments, a set of input images of a scene depicting at least one object are collected and used to generate a plurality of rays of the scene. The rays each correspond to three-dimensional coordinates and viewing angles taken from the images. A volume density of the scene is determined by inputting the three-dimensional coordinates from the neural radiance fields into a first neural network to generate a 3D geometric representation of the object. An appearance decomposition is produced by inputting the three-dimensional coordinates and the viewing angles of the rays into a second neural network.

  • Publication number: 20230215085
    Abstract: Three-dimensional object representation and re-rendering systems and methods for producing a 3D representation of an object from 2D images including the object that enables object-centric rendering. A modular approach is used that optimizes a Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) model to estimate object geometry and refine camera parameters and, then, infer surface material properties and per-image lighting conditions that fit the 2D images.
