• Title: Global Latent Neural Rendering
• Authors: Thomas Tanay and Matteo Maggioni
• Abstract summary: A recent trend among generalizable novel view methods is to learn a rendering operator acting over single camera rays. Here, we propose to learn a global rendering operator acting over all camera rays jointly. We introduce our Convolutional Global Latent Renderer (ConvGLR), an efficient convolutional architecture that performs the rendering operation globally in a low-resolution latent space.

• Abstract: A recent trend among generalizable novel view synthesis methods is to learn a rendering operator acting over single camera rays. This approach is promising because it removes the need for explicit volumetric rendering, but it effectively treats target images as collections of independent pixels. Here, we propose to learn a global rendering operator acting over all camera rays jointly. We show that the right representation to enable such rendering is a 5-dimensional plane sweep volume consisting of the projection of the input images on a set of planes facing the target camera. Based on this understanding, we introduce our Convolutional Global Latent Renderer (ConvGLR), an efficient convolutional architecture that performs the rendering operation globally in a low-resolution latent space. Experiments on various datasets under sparse and generalizable setups show that our approach consistently outperforms existing methods by significant margins.

  We propose a scene-level inverse rendering framework that uses multi-view images to decompose the scene into geometry, SVBRDF, and 3D spatially-varying lighting. A novel framework called Multi-view Attention Inverse Rendering (MAIR) was recently introduced to improve the quality of scene-level inverse rendering.
