Towards Efficient Neural Scene Graphs by Learning Consistency Fields
share
Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) achieves photo-realistic image rendering from novel views, and the Neural Scene Graphs (NSG) <cit.> extends it to dynamic scenes (video) with multiple objects. Nevertheless, computationally heavy ray marching for every image frame becomes a huge burden. In this paper, taking advantage of significant redundancy across adjacent frames in videos, we propose a feature-reusing framework. From the first try of naively reusing the NSG features, however, we learn that it is crucial to disentangle object-intrinsic properties consistent across frames from transient ones. Our proposed method, Consistency-Field-based NSG (CF-NSG), reformulates neural radiance fields to additionally consider consistency fields. With disentangled representations, CF-NSG takes full advantage of the feature-reusing scheme and performs an extended degree of scene manipulation in a more controllable manner. We empirically verify that CF-NSG greatly improves the inference efficiency by using 85% less queries than NSG without notable degradation in rendering quality.
