Deep learning has revolutionized view synthesis in computer vision, offering diverse approaches like NeRF and end-to-end style architectures. Traditionally, 3D modeling methods like voxels, point clouds, or meshes were employed. NeRF-based techniques implicitly represent 3D scenes using MLPs. Recent advancements focus on image-to-image approaches, generating novel views from collections of scene images. These methods often…

MoD-SLAM is a state-of-the-art method for Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) systems. In SLAM systems, it is challenging to achieve real-time, accurate, and scalable dense mapping. To address these challenges, researchers have introduced a novel method focusing on unbounded scenes using only RGB images. Existing neural SLAM methods often rely on RGB-D input which leads…

The task of view synthesis is essential in both computer vision and graphics, enabling the re-rendering of scenes from various viewpoints akin to the human eye. This capability is vital for everyday tasks and fosters creativity by allowing the envisioning and crafting of immersive objects with depth and perspective. Researchers at Dyson Robotics Lab aim…
