• Abstract summary: VoxDepth is a fast, accurate, and runs very well on edge devices. It relies on 3D point cloud construction and fusion, and using it to create a template that can fix erroneous depth images. We demonstrate a 31% improvement in quality as compared to state-of-the-art methods on real-world depth datasets.

• Abstract: Autonomous mobile robots like self-flying drones and industrial robots heavily depend on depth images to perform tasks such as 3D reconstruction and visual SLAM. However, the presence of inaccuracies in these depth images can greatly hinder the effectiveness of these applications, resulting in sub-optimal results. Depth images produced by commercially available cameras frequently exhibit noise, which manifests as flickering pixels and erroneous patches. ML-based methods to rectify these images are unsuitable for edge devices that have very limited computational resources. Non-ML methods are much faster but have limited accuracy, especially for correcting errors that are a result of occlusion and camera movement. We propose a scheme called VoxDepth that is fast, accurate, and runs very well on edge devices. It relies on a host of novel techniques: 3D point cloud construction and fusion, and using it to create a template that can fix erroneous depth images. VoxDepth shows superior results on both synthetic and real-world datasets. We demonstrate a 31% improvement in quality as compared to state-of-the-art methods on real-world depth datasets, while maintaining a competitive framerate of 27 FPS (frames per second).

  We present Exact Volumetric Ellipsoid Rendering (EVER), a method for real-time differentiable emission-only volume rendering. Unlike recentization based approach by 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS), our primitive based representation allows for exact volume rendering. We show that our method is more accurate with blending issues than 3DGS and follow-up work on view rendering.

We learn a neural network that, at test time, performs reconstruction in a feed-forward manner, at 38 FPS. On several synthetic, real, multi-category and large-scale benchmark datasets, we achieve better results in terms of PSNR, LPIPS, and other metrics while training and evaluating much faster than prior works.

Given a single RGB input, our image encoder directly predicts a canonical triplane representation of a neural radiance field for 3D-aware novel view synthesis via volume rendering. Our method is fast (24 fps) on consumer hardware, and produces higher quality results than strong GAN-inversion baselines that require test-time optimization.
