Pre-NeRF: Evaluating Preprocessing Approaches to Mitigate Real-World Corruptions in NeRF Reconstruction
摘要
Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) have significantly advanced Novel View Synthesis (NVS) by implicitly representing 3D scenes through the weights of a neural network. However, the practical applicability of NeRFs are critically dependent on the quality and consistency of input data, typically requiring clean images with known camera poses, controlled lighting, and static content. In this work, we simulate and analyze the effects of different types of image degradations on NeRF reconstruction quality across various scene configurations. Furthermore, we propose and evaluate Pre-NeRF, a preprocessing pipeline incorporating a suite of algorithms designed to mitigate the impact of these degradations on input imagery. Our experimental results demonstrate quantifiable improvements in NeRF reconstruction fidelity when utilizing the proposed preprocessing pipeline, suggesting its potential value for enhancing NeRF performance in less-than-ideal real-world conditions.
