• Abstract: In recent years, the development of Neural Radiance Fields has enabled a previously unseen level of photo-realistic 3D reconstruction of scenes and objects from multi-view camera data. However, previous methods use an oversimplified pinhole camera model resulting in defocus blur being `baked' into the reconstructed radiance field. We propose a modification to the ray casting that leverages the optics of lenses to enhance scene reconstruction in the presence of defocus blur. This allows us to improve the quality of radiance field reconstructions from the measurements of a practical camera with finite aperture. We show that the proposed model matches the defocus blur behavior of practical cameras more closely than pinhole models and other approximations of defocus blur models, particularly in the presence of partial occlusions. This allows us to achieve sharper reconstructions, improving the PSNR on validation of all-in-focus images, on both synthetic and real datasets, by up to 3 dB.

• DOF-GS: Adjustable Depth-of-Field 3D Gaussian Splatting for Refocusing,Defocus Rendering and Blur Removal [42.427021878005405]
  3D Gaussian Splatting techniques have recently advanced 3D scene reconstruction and novel view synthesis, achieving high-quality real-time rendering. These approaches are inherently limited by the underlying pinhole camera assumption in modeling the images and hence only work for All-in-Focus (AiF) sharp image inputs. This severely affects their applicability in real-world scenarios where images often exhibit defocus blur due to the limited depth-of-field (DOF) of imaging devices. We introduce DOF-GS that allows for rendering adjustable DOF effects, removing defocus blur as well as refocusing of 3D scenes,

  NeuroLens is a neural lens model for distortion and vignetting that can be used for point projection and ray casting. It can be used to perform pre-capture calibration using classical calibration targets, and can later be used to perform calibration or refinement during 3D reconstruction. The model generalizes across many lens types and is trivial to integrate into existing 3D reconstruction and rendering systems.

  We present a novel inverse rendering framework for large urban scenes capable of jointly reconstructing the scene geometry, spatially-varying materials, and HDR lighting from a set of posed RGB images with optional depth. Specifically, we use a neural field to account for the primary rays, and use an explicit mesh (reconstructed from the underlying neural field) for modeling secondary rays that produce higher-order lighting effects such as cast shadows.

  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.
