• Abstract summary: We introduce a reflection-aware NeRF that jointly models planar reflectors, such as windows, and explicitly casts reflected rays to capture the source of the high-frequency reflections. Rendering along the primary ray results in a clean, reflection-free view, while explicitly rendering along the reflected ray allows us to reconstruct highly detailed reflections.

• Abstract: Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) have demonstrated exceptional capabilities in reconstructing complex scenes with high fidelity. However, NeRF's view dependency can only handle low-frequency reflections. It falls short when handling complex planar reflections, often interpreting them as erroneous scene geometries and leading to duplicated and inaccurate scene representations. To address this challenge, we introduce a reflection-aware NeRF that jointly models planar reflectors, such as windows, and explicitly casts reflected rays to capture the source of the high-frequency reflections. We query a single radiance field to render the primary color and the source of the reflection. We propose a sparse edge regularization to help utilize the true sources of reflections for rendering planar reflections rather than creating a duplicate along the primary ray at the same depth. As a result, we obtain accurate scene geometry. Rendering along the primary ray results in a clean, reflection-free view, while explicitly rendering along the reflected ray allows us to reconstruct highly detailed reflections. Our extensive quantitative and qualitative evaluations of real-world datasets demonstrate our method's enhanced performance in accurately handling reflections.

  Recent works have improved NeRF's ability to render detailed specular appearance of distant environment illumination, but are unable to synthesize consistent reflections of closer content. We address these issues with an approach based on ray tracing. Instead of querying an expensive neural network for the outgoing view-dependent radiance at points along each camera ray, our model casts rays from these points and traces them through the NeRF representation to render feature vectors.
