📄 摘要（原文）
We introduce an improved solution to the neural image-based rendering problem in computer vision. Given a set of images taken from a freely moving camera at train time, the proposed approach could synthesize a realistic image of the scene from a novel viewpoint at test time. The key ideas presented in this paper are (i) Recovering accurate camera parameters via a robust pipeline from unposed day-to-day images is equally crucial in neural novel view synthesis problem; (ii) It is rather more practical to model object's content at different resolutions since dramatic camera motion is highly likely in day-to-day unposed images. To incorporate the key ideas, we leverage the fundamentals of scene rigidity, multi-scale neural scene representation, and single-image depth prediction. Concretely, the proposed approach makes the camera parameters as learnable in a neural fields-based modeling framework. By assuming per view depth prediction is given up to scale, we constrain the relative pose between successive frames. From the relative poses, absolute camera pose estimation is modeled via a graph-neural network-based multiple motion averaging within the multi-scale neural-fields network, leading to a single loss function. Optimizing the introduced loss function provides camera intrinsic, extrinsic, and image rendering from unposed images. We demonstrate, with examples, that for a unified framework to accurately model multiscale neural scene representation from day-to-day acquired unposed multi-view images, it is equally essential to have precise camera-pose estimates within the scene representation framework. Without considering robustness measures in the camera pose estimation pipeline, modeling for multi-scale aliasing artifacts can be counterproductive. We present extensive experiments on several benchmark datasets to demonstrate the suitability of our approach.
