Ray Based

Ray-based methods are revolutionizing 3D scene representation and rendering, aiming to improve efficiency and realism in applications like novel view synthesis and 3D object detection. Current research focuses on optimizing ray sampling strategies, developing novel neural network architectures (e.g., convolutional and transformer-based models) for efficient ray processing, and incorporating physical properties like light refraction and reflection into ray-based models. These advancements are significantly impacting computer vision and graphics, enabling faster and more accurate 3D scene understanding and rendering for applications ranging from autonomous driving to virtual and augmented reality.
