Abstract
The technology described herein provides an improved framework for novel view synthesis utilizing scene-level features and pixel-level features. In particular, the technology provides semantic representations corresponding to the scene, along with semantic representations corresponding to the each pixel, so that inherent interconnections within objects in the scene can be determined by transformer encoders that would not otherwise be determined by the pixel-level feature representations alone. In this regard, the technology described herein improves the generalizability of Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) based techniques to novel scenes to avoid the need for retraining for specific scenes and the few-shot capability of NeRF-based techniques to render novel views using a limited number of reference images.
