SyncDreamer for 3D Reconstruction of Endangered Animal Species with NeRF and NeuS

Ahmet Haydar Ornek, Deniz Sen, Esmanur Civil

The main aim of this study is to demonstrate how innovative view synthesis and 3D reconstruction techniques can be used to create models of endangered species using monocular RGB images. To achieve this, we employed SyncDreamer to produce unique perspectives and NeuS and NeRF to reconstruct 3D representations. We chose four different animals, including the oriental stork, frog, dragonfly, and tiger, as our subjects for this study. Our results show that the combination of SyncDreamer, NeRF, and NeuS techniques can successfully create 3D models of endangered animals. However, we also observed that NeuS produced blurry images, while NeRF generated sharper but noisier images. This study highlights the potential of modeling endangered animals and offers a new direction for future research in this field. By showcasing the effectiveness of these advanced techniques, we hope to encourage further exploration and development of techniques for preserving and studying endangered species.
