NeRF-Tex: Neural Reflectance Field Textures

Abstract We investigate the use of neural fields for modelling diverse mesoscale structures, such as fur, fabric and grass. Instead of using classical graphics primitives to model the structure, we propose to employ a versatile volumetric primitive …

Neural Scene Graph Rendering

We present a neural scene graph---a modular and controllable representation of scenes with elements that are learned from data. We focus on the forward rendering problem, where the scene graph is provided by the user and references learned elements. …

Real-Time Neural Radiance Caching for Path Tracing

We present a real-time neural radiance caching method for path-traced global illumination. Our system is designed to handle fully dynamic scenes, and makes no assumptions about the lighting, geometry, and materials. The data-driven nature of our …

Neural Control Variates

We propose neural control variates (NCV) for unbiased variance reduction in parametric Monte Carlo integration. So far, the core challenge of applying the method of control variates has been finding a good approximation of the integrand that is cheap …

Compositional Neural Scene Representations for Shading Inference

We present a technique for adaptively partitioning neural scene representations. Our method disentangles lighting, material, and geometric information yielding a scene representation that preserves the orthogonality of these components, improves …

Interactive Reconstruction of Monte Carlo Image Sequences Using a Recurrent Denoising Autoencoder

We describe a machine learning technique for reconstructing image sequences rendered using Monte Carlo methods. Our primary focus is on reconstruction of global illumination with extremely low sampling budgets at interactive rates. Motivated by …
