• Abstract: No significant work has been done to directly merge two partially overlapping scenes using NeRF representations. Given pre-trained NeRF models of a 3D scene with partial overlapping, this paper aligns them with a rigid transform, by generalizing the traditional registration pipeline, that is, key point detection and point set registration, to operate on 3D density fields. To describe corner points as key points in 3D, we propose to use universal pre-trained descriptor-generating neural networks that can be trained and tested on different scenes. We perform experiments to demonstrate that the descriptor networks can be conveniently trained using a contrastive learning strategy. We demonstrate that our method, as a global approach, can effectively register NeRF models, thus making possible future large-scale NeRF construction by registering its smaller and overlapping NeRFs captured individually.

  This paper proposes CLONeR, which significantly improves upon NeRF by allowing it to model large outdoor driving scenes observed from sparse input sensor views. This is achieved by decoupling occupancy and color learning within the NeRF framework into separate Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs) trained using LiDAR and camera data, respectively. In addition, this paper proposes a novel method to build differentiable 3D Occupancy Grid Maps (OGM) alongside the NeRF model, and leverage this occupancy grid for improved sampling of points along a ray for rendering in metric space.

  We create the first large-scale implicit representation datasets for perception tasks, called the PeRFception. It shows a significant memory compression rate (96.4%) from the original dataset, while containing both 2D and 3D information in a unified form. We construct the classification and segmentation models that directly take as input this implicit format and also propose a novel augmentation technique to avoid overfitting on backgrounds of images.
