• Abstract summary: Existing neural radiance fields (NeRF)-based novel view synthesis methods for large-scale outdoor scenes are mainly built on a single altitude. We propose an end-to-end framework, termed AG-NeRF, and seek to reduce the training cost of building good reconstructions by synthesizing free-viewpoint images based on varying altitudes of scenes.

• Abstract: Existing neural radiance fields (NeRF)-based novel view synthesis methods for large-scale outdoor scenes are mainly built on a single altitude. Moreover, they often require a priori camera shooting height and scene scope, leading to inefficient and impractical applications when camera altitude changes. In this work, we propose an end-to-end framework, termed AG-NeRF, and seek to reduce the training cost of building good reconstructions by synthesizing free-viewpoint images based on varying altitudes of scenes. Specifically, to tackle the detail variation problem from low altitude (drone-level) to high altitude (satellite-level), a source image selection method and an attention-based feature fusion approach are developed to extract and fuse the most relevant features of target view from multi-height images for high-fidelity rendering. Extensive experiments demonstrate that AG-NeRF achieves SOTA performance on 56 Leonard and Transamerica benchmarks and only requires a half hour of training time to reach the competitive PSNR as compared to the latest BungeeNeRF.

  We introduce BirdNeRF, an adaptation of Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) designed specifically for reconstructing large-scale scenes using aerial imagery. We present a novel bird-view pose-based spatial decomposition algorithm that decomposes a large aerial image set into multiple small sets with appropriately sized overlaps. We evaluate our approach on existing datasets as well as against our own drone footage, improving reconstruction speed by 10x over classical photogrammetry software and 50x over state-of-the-art large-scale NeRF solution.

  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 introduce a simple clustering algorithm that partitions training images (or rather pixels) into different NeRF submodules that can be trained in parallel.
