Are you at #SIGGRAPH2024 and want to learn how to reconstruct meshes from multi-view images that contain details like individual strands of grass? Then come today to the "Radiance Field Processing" session at 2 p.m. in Mile High 1. binary-opacity-grid.github.i…

InterNeRF: Scaling Radiance Fields via Parameter Interpolation @clintonjwang, @PeterHedman3, Polina Golland, @jon_barron, @duck tl;dr: use camera origin to assign camera region to partitioned parameter grid and compute bilinear interpolation weights arxiv.org/pdf/2406.11737

Seeing the amazing new SMERF technology immediately made me imagine a time when we can walk around in environments like this, styled to be anything we can imagine. All happening in realtime, shaped with voice prompts or virtual paint or sculpt marks. Here's a test of using some of the SMERF demo scenes to drive a generative AI image stream in Krea.. incredible! It's like seeing the world through a new camera lens of imagination. I'll post a link to the incredible SMERF paper by @duck and his colleagues below.. what a time to be alive! #ai #art

Thoughts NeRFs were dead? Google DeepMind just dropped SMERF — streamable, multi-room NeRFs with cm-level detail. Oh and it works realtime on mobile 🤯 It’s a sweet spot between the speed of Gaussian Splatting and the quality of Zip-NeRF. More below ⬇️

SMERF from Google Research (again) achieves Zip-NeRF quality, operating at a remarkable 60fps on everyday devices like smartphones and laptops. 🔗 neuralradiancefields.io/the-…

Code finally released for our CVPR 2022 papers (mip-NeRF 360/Ref-NeRF/RawNeRF)! You can also find links for each paper's dataset on its project page. The code has some nice new camera utilities for larger real scenes, like this one. github.com/google-research/m…
We've finally released code for three of our CVPR2022 papers: mip-NeRF 360, Ref-NeRF, and RawNeRF. Instead of three separate releases, we've done something a little unusual and merged them into a single repo. Excited to see what people do with this! github.com/google-research/m…

Excited to share our work on "Implicit Neural Representations with Periodic Activations" vsitzmann.github.io/siren We show how to fit complex signals, such as room-scale SDFs, video, & audio, and supervise implicit reps via their gradients to solve boundary value problems! (1/n)

Classifiers are secretly energy-based models! Every softmax giving p(c|x) has an unused degree of freedom, which we use to compute the input density p(x). This makes classifiers into generative models without changing the architecture. arxiv.org/abs/1912.03263

i am gonna start a CS journal where to get published you have to include your code. because i don't believe this shit works half the time.
