• Abstract: 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 multi-view 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.

  We introduce a method for novel view synthesis given only a single wide-baseline stereo image pair. Existing approaches to novel view synthesis from sparse observations fail due to recovering incorrect 3D geometry. We propose an efficient, image-space epipolar line sampling scheme to assemble image features for a target ray.

  We propose a scene-level inverse rendering framework that uses multi-view images to decompose the scene into geometry, a SVBRDF, and 3D spatially-varying lighting. Our experiments show that the proposed method achieves better performance than single-view-based methods, but also achieves robust performance on unseen real-world scene.

  Novel view synthesis is a long-standing problem that revolves around rendering frames of scenes from novel camera viewpoints. In this work, we examine the performance, generalization, and efficiency of single-view multi-plane neural radiance fields. We propose a new multiplane NeRF architecture that accepts multiple views to improve the synthesis results and expand the viewing range.

  We propose to leverage both the global and local features to form an expressive 3D representation. To synthesize a novel view, we train a multilayer perceptron (MLP) network conditioned on the learned 3D representation to perform volume rendering. Our method can render novel views from only a single input image and generalize across multiple object categories using a single model.

  A classical problem in computer vision is to infer a 3D scene representation from few images that can be used to render novel views at interactive rates. We propose the Scene Representation Transformer (SRT), a method which processes posed or unposed RGB images of a new area. We show that this method outperforms recent baselines in terms of PSNR and speed on synthetic datasets.
