Neural Radiance Field
Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) are a powerful technique for creating realistic 3D scene representations from 2D images, aiming to reconstruct both geometry and appearance. Current research focuses on improving efficiency and robustness, exploring variations like Gaussian splatting for faster rendering and adapting NeRFs for diverse data modalities (LiDAR, infrared, ultrasound) and challenging conditions (low light, sparse views). This technology has significant implications for various fields, including autonomous driving, robotics, medical imaging, and virtual/augmented reality, by enabling high-fidelity 3D scene modeling and novel view synthesis from limited input data.
