- blovescoffee 3y agoThey use NeRF to mean a radiance field that can be sampled and trained using a differentiable process.

- CharlesW 3y agoMy understanding is that NeRF¹ is just one (very interesting) approach to this. Another approach would be "Multi-View Stereo (MVS)", which you may be familiar with via software like COLMAP. ¹ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_radiance_field https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_radiance_field
- PaulHoule 3y agoYep, “neural radiance fields”, effectively neural networks can be trained to model how light is emitted and moves in a volume of space to, for instance, take a few pictures of a scene and then be able the synthesize views of the scene. If it can be practically sped up it would be a way to make VR models of spaces without specialist talent in 3-d modeling.
- uoaei 3y agoGaussian splatting is an interesting take on the technique that seems to speed up fitting and rendering, see this article from a couple days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37415478 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37415478
- PaulHoule 3y agoYep, there is all sorts of research on that problem.
