> That's not really true, there are lots of ways to blend the points/pixels/images together from different viewpoints Of course there are, but (as far as I recall) Photosynth didn't use any of them; it only projected the original images on top of a point cloud. In any case, that's kind of my point; the rendering step is where the interesting research has been happening, not the camera pose reconstruction process which is trivially easy in comparison. > although the paper fails to mention photosynth as a citation as far as I could see. Photosynth was Microsoft's implementation of the same technology that was described in the "Photo Tourism" paper from 2006, which the NeRF-W paper does cite. Naturally, it makes more sense for other researchers work to refer to the original academic literature rather than the commercialized product.
