Abstract

We use neural radiance fields (NeRFs) to build interac-tive 3D environments from large-scale visual captures spanning buildings or even multiple city blocks collected pri-marily from drones. In contrast to single object scenes (on which NeRFs are traditionally evaluated), our scale poses multiple challenges including (1) the need to model thou-sands of images with varying lighting conditions, each of which capture only a small subset of the scene, (2) pro-hibitively large model capacities that make it infeasible to train on a single GPU, and (3) significant challenges for fast rendering that would enable interactive fly-throughs. To address these challenges, we begin by analyzing visi-bility statistics for large-scale scenes, motivating a sparse network structure where parameters are specialized to dif-ferent regions of the scene. We introduce a simple geomet-ric clustering algorithm for data parallelism that partitions training images (or rather pixels) into different NeRF sub-modules that can be trained in parallel. We evaluate our approach on existing datasets (Quad 6k and UrbanScene3D) as well as against our own drone footage, improving training speed by 3x and PSNR by 12%. We also evaluate re-cent NeRF fast renderers on top of Mega-NeRF and intro-duce a novel method that exploits temporal coherence. Our technique achieves a 40x speedup over conventional NeRF rendering while remaining within 0.8 db in PSNR quality, exceeding the fidelity of existing fast renderers.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
