• Abstract summary: We take the first initiative to examine the state-of-the-art real-time NeRF rendering technique from a system perspective. We first define the entire working pipeline of the NeRF serving system. We then identify possible control knobs that are critical to the system from the communication, computation, and visual performance perspective.

• Abstract: Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) is an emerging technique to synthesize 3D objects from 2D images with a wide range of potential applications. However, rendering existing NeRF models is extremely computation intensive, making it challenging to support real-time interaction on mobile devices. In this paper, we take the first initiative to examine the state-of-the-art real-time NeRF rendering technique from a system perspective. We first define the entire working pipeline of the NeRF serving system. We then identify possible control knobs that are critical to the system from the communication, computation, and visual performance perspective. Furthermore, an extensive measurement study is conducted to reveal the effects of these control knobs on system performance. Our measurement results reveal that different control knobs contribute differently towards improving the system performance, with the mesh granularity being the most effective knob and the quantization being the least effective knob. In addition, diverse hardware device settings and network conditions have to be considered to fully unleash the benefit of operating under the appropriate knobs

We propose a novel early-exit scheduling that allows preemption at run time to account for the dynamicity introduced by the arrival and exiting processes.

  We present a calibration neural network model for denoising low-cost microelectromechanical system (MEMS) gyroscope and estimating the attitude of a robot in real-time. Key idea is extracting local and global features from the time window of inertial measurement units (IMU) measurements to regress the output compensation components for the gyroscope dynamically. The proposed algorithm is evaluated in the EuRoC and TUM-VI datasets and achieves state-of-the-art on the (unseen) test sequences with a more lightweight model structure.

  We show that a Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) representation of a scene can be used to train dense object descriptors. We use an optimized NeRF to extract dense correspondences between multiple views of an object, and then use these correspondences as training data for learning a view-invariant representation of the object. Dense correspondence models supervised with our method significantly outperform off-the-shelf learned descriptors by 106%.
