Abstract:We propose a neural network-based real-time volume rendering method for realistic and efficient rendering of volumetric media. The traditional volume rendering method uses path tracing to solve the radiation transfer equation, which requires a huge amount of calculation and cannot achieve real-time rendering. Therefore, this paper uses neural networks to simulate the iterative integration process of solving the radiative transfer equation to speed up the volume rendering of volume media. Specifically, the paper first performs data processing on the volume medium to generate a variety of sampling features, including density features, transmittance features and phase features. The hierarchical transmittance fields are fed into a 3D-CNN network to compute more important transmittance features. Secondly, the diffuse reflection sampling template and the highlight sampling template are used to layer the three types of sampling features into the network. This method can pay more attention to light scattering, highlights and shadows, and then select important channel features through the attention module. Finally, the scattering distribution of the center points of all sampling templates is predicted through the backbone neural network. This method can achieve realistic volumetric media rendering effects and greatly increase the rendering speed while maintaining rendering quality, which is of great significance for real-time rendering applications. Experimental results indicate that our method outperforms previous methods.
Abstract:NeRF's high-quality scene synthesis capability was quickly accepted by scholars in the years after it was proposed, and significant progress has been made in 3D scene representation and synthesis. However, the high computational cost limits intuitive and efficient editing of scenes, making NeRF's development in the scene editing field facing many challenges. This paper reviews the preliminary explorations of scholars on NeRF in the scene or object editing field in recent years, mainly changing the shape and texture of scenes or objects in new synthesized scenes; through the combination of residual models such as GaN and Transformer with NeRF, the generalization ability of NeRF scene editing has been further expanded, including realizing real-time new perspective editing feedback, multimodal editing of text synthesized 3D scenes, 4D synthesis performance, and in-depth exploration in light and shadow editing, initially achieving optimization of indirect touch editing and detail representation in complex scenes. Currently, most NeRF editing methods focus on the touch points and materials of indirect points, but when dealing with more complex or larger 3D scenes, it is difficult to balance accuracy, breadth, efficiency, and quality. Overcoming these challenges may become the direction of future NeRF 3D scene editing technology.
Abstract:Neural Radiation Field (NeRF) technology can learn a 3D implicit model of a scene from 2D images and synthesize realistic novel view images. This technology has received widespread attention from the industry and has good application prospects. In response to the problem that the rendering quality of NeRF images needs to be improved, many researchers have proposed various methods to improve the rendering quality in the past three years. The latest relevant papers are classified and reviewed, the technical principles behind quality improvement are analyzed, and the future evolution direction of quality improvement methods is discussed. This study can help researchers quickly understand the current state and evolutionary context of technology in this field, which is helpful in inspiring the development of more efficient algorithms and promoting the application of NeRF technology in related fields.
