Overview

Neural radiance fields (NeRFs) learn a continuous 3D scene from posed images and use differentiable volume rendering to synthesize unseen views. Methods range from per-scene multilayer perceptrons to faster hash-grid, tensor-factorized, and plane-based encodings, often adding depth or geometry priors for sparse or noisy inputs. Evaluation spans synthetic scenes and real-world benchmarks such as LLFF and Mip-NeRF 360, while extensions address dynamic scenes, robotics, medical imaging, LiDAR, and other sensing modalities. The central challenge is balancing visual quality and geometric accuracy against training, memory, and rendering costs; robustness to uncertain poses and sparse views, and generalization to camera paths unlike those in training, remain difficult.
