Methods and systems for training quantized neural radiance field

Abstract

A computer-implemented method includes encoding a radiance field of an object onto a machine learning model; conducting, based on a set of training images of the object, a training process on the machine learning model to obtain a trained machine learning model, wherein the training process includes a first training process using a plurality of first test sample points followed by a second training process using a plurality of second test sample points located within a threshold distance from a surface region of the object; obtaining target view parameters indicating a view direction of the object; obtaining a plurality of rays associated with a target image of the object; obtaining render sample points on the plurality of rays associated with the target image; and rendering, by inputting the render sample points to the trained machine learning model, colors associated with the pixels of the target image.
