📝 摘要(中文)
将NeRF应用于下游感知任务以进行场景理解和表示的研究逐渐增多。现有方法通常将语义预测视为额外的渲染任务,导致在不考虑上下文信息的情况下,边界分割不清晰和物体内部像素分割异常。为了解决这一问题,本文提出了通用感知NeRF(GP-NeRF),通过引入变换器将辐射和语义嵌入场共同聚合,促进两者的联合体积渲染。我们还提出了两种自蒸馏机制,以增强语义场的区分度和几何一致性。在实验中,我们在两个感知任务上进行了评估,结果显示该方法在多个指标上超越了现有最先进的方法。

📄 摘要(原文)
Applying NeRF to downstream perception tasks for scene understanding and representation is becoming increasingly popular. Most existing methods treat semantic prediction as an additional rendering task, \textit{i.e.}, the "label rendering" task, to build semantic NeRFs. However, by rendering semantic/instance labels per pixel without considering the contextual information of the rendered image, these methods usually suffer from unclear boundary segmentation and abnormal segmentation of pixels within an object. To solve this problem, we propose Generalized Perception NeRF (GP-NeRF), a novel pipeline that makes the widely used segmentation model and NeRF work compatibly under a unified framework, for facilitating context-aware 3D scene perception. To accomplish this goal, we introduce transformers to aggregate radiance as well as semantic embedding fields jointly for novel views and facilitate the joint volumetric rendering of both fields. In addition, we propose two self-distillation mechanisms, i.e., the Semantic Distill Loss and the Depth-Guided Semantic Distill Loss, to enhance the discrimination and quality of the semantic field and the maintenance of geometric consistency. In evaluation, we conduct experimental comparisons under two perception tasks (\textit{i.e.} semantic and instance segmentation) using both synthetic and real-world datasets. Notably, our method outperforms SOTA approaches by 6.94\%, 11.76\%, and 8.47\% on generalized semantic segmentation, finetuning semantic segmentation, and instance segmentation, respectively.
