📝 摘要(中文)
虽然神经辐射场(NeRF)最初是为新视角合成而开发,但最近已成为多视图立体(MVS)的替代方案。尽管在无纹理、透明和反射表面上取得了良好效果,但现有研究主要集中在近距离场景,缺乏针对航空场景的研究。NeRF在低图像冗余和数据证据不足的区域(如街道峡谷和建筑阴影)面临挑战。此外,训练这些网络的计算成本较高。本研究旨在探讨NeRF在不同特征的航空影像块中的适用性,并展示结合深度先验的优势。我们基于VolSDF框架,通过有符号距离函数(SDF)建模3D场景,以提高表面重建的效果。

📄 摘要(原文)
While originally developed for novel view synthesis, Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) have recently emerged as an alternative to multi-view stereo (MVS). Triggered by a manifold of research activities, promising results have been gained especially for texture-less, transparent, and reflecting surfaces, while such scenarios remain challenging for traditional MVS-based approaches. However, most of these investigations focus on close-range scenarios, with studies for airborne scenarios still missing. For this task, NeRFs face potential difficulties at areas of low image redundancy and weak data evidence, as often found in street canyons, facades or building shadows. Furthermore, training such networks is computationally expensive. Thus, the aim of our work is twofold: First, we investigate the applicability of NeRFs for aerial image blocks representing different characteristics like nadir-only, oblique and high-resolution imagery. Second, during these investigations we demonstrate the benefit of integrating depth priors from tie-point measures, which are provided during presupposed Bundle Block Adjustment. Our work is based on the state-of-the-art framework VolSDF, which models 3D scenes by signed distance functions (SDFs), since this is more applicable for surface reconstruction compared to the standard volumetric representation in vanilla NeRFs. For evaluation, the NeRF-based reconstructions are compared to results of a publicly available benchmark dataset for airborne images.
