• Abstract summary: We train PixelNeRF, a feed-forward NVS model, on the large-scale UrbanScene3D dataset. Aug3D generates well-conditioned novel views through grid and semantic sampling to enhance feed-forward NVS model learning. Our experiments reveal that reducing the number of views per cluster from 20 to 10 improves PSNR by 10%, but the performance remains suboptimal.

• Abstract: Recent photorealistic Novel View Synthesis (NVS) advances have increasingly gained attention. However, these approaches remain constrained to small indoor scenes. While optimization-based NVS models have attempted to address this, generalizable feed-forward methods, offering significant advantages, remain underexplored. In this work, we train PixelNeRF, a feed-forward NVS model, on the large-scale UrbanScene3D dataset. We propose four training strategies to cluster and train on this dataset, highlighting that performance is hindered by limited view overlap. To address this, we introduce Aug3D, an augmentation technique that leverages reconstructed scenes using traditional Structure-from-Motion (SfM). Aug3D generates well-conditioned novel views through grid and semantic sampling to enhance feed-forward NVS model learning. Our experiments reveal that reducing the number of views per cluster from 20 to 10 improves PSNR by 10%, but the performance remains suboptimal. Aug3D further addresses this by combining the newly generated novel views with the original dataset, demonstrating its effectiveness in improving the model's ability to predict novel views.

  3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has shown remarkable performance in novel view synthesis. However, its rendering quality deteriorates with sparse inphut views, leading to distorted content and reduced details. We propose a sparse-view 3DGS method, incorporating prior information is crucial. Our method outperforms state-of-the-art novel view synthesis approaches, achieving up to 0.4dB improvement in terms of PSNR on the LLFF dataset.

  Recent neural rendering and reconstruction techniques, such as NeRFs or Gaussian Splatting, have shown remarkable novel view synthesis capabilities. With fewer images available, these methods start to fail since they can no longer correctly triangulate the underlying 3D geometry. We propose Re-Nerfing, a simple and general add-on approach that leverages novel view synthesis itself to tackle this problem.
