• Abstract summary: The present paper proposes a novel approach, named NeRFlame, which combines the strengths of both NeRF and FLAME methods. Our approach utilizes the FLAME mesh as a distinct density volume. Consequently, color values exist only in the vicinity of the FLAME mesh. This FLAME framework is seamlessly incorporated into the NeRF architecture for predicting RGB colors, enabling our model to explicitly represent volume density and implicitly capture RGB colors.

• Abstract: Traditional 3D face models are based on mesh representations with texture. One of the most important models is FLAME (Faces Learned with an Articulated Model and Expressions), which produces meshes of human faces that are fully controllable. Unfortunately, such models have problems with capturing geometric and appearance details. In contrast to mesh representation, the neural radiance field (NeRF) produces extremely sharp renders. However, implicit methods are hard to animate and do not generalize well to unseen expressions. It is not trivial to effectively control NeRF models to obtain face manipulation. The present paper proposes a novel approach, named NeRFlame, which combines the strengths of both NeRF and FLAME methods. Our method enables high-quality rendering capabilities of NeRF while also offering complete control over the visual appearance, similar to FLAME. In contrast to traditional NeRF-based structures that use neural networks for RGB color and volume density modeling, our approach utilizes the FLAME mesh as a distinct density volume. Consequently, color values exist only in the vicinity of the FLAME mesh. This FLAME framework is seamlessly incorporated into the NeRF architecture for predicting RGB colors, enabling our model to explicitly represent volume density and implicitly capture RGB colors.

  Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) is a representation for 3D reconstruction from multi-view images. We propose tempering the diffusion model'sity with per-scene customization and mitigating the textural shift with masked training. Our framework yields state-of-the-art NeRF inpainting results on various real-world scenes.

  Novel view synthesis from a single image requires inferring occluded regions of objects and scenes whilst simultaneously maintaining semantic and physical consistency with the input. We propose NerfDiff, which addresses this issue by distilling the knowledge of a 3D-aware conditional diffusion model (CDM) into NeRF through synthesizing and refining a set of virtual views at test time. We further propose a novel NeRF-guided distillation algorithm that simultaneously generates 3D consistent virtual views from the CDM samples, and finetunes the NeRF based on the improved virtual views.
