Deluca -- A Differentiable Control Library: Environments, Methods, and Benchmarking

Paula Gradu, John Hallman, Daniel Suo +7

We present an open-source library of natively differentiable physics and robotics environments, accompanied by gradient-based control methods and a benchmark-ing suite. The introdu…

pixelNeRF: Neural Radiance Fields from One or Few Images

Alex Yu, Vickie Ye, Matthew Tancik +1

We propose pixelNeRF, a learning framework that predicts a continuous neural scene representation conditioned on one or few input images. The existing approach for constructing neu…

PlenOctrees for Real-time Rendering of Neural Radiance Fields

Alex Yu, Ruilong Li, Matthew Tancik +3

We introduce a method to render Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) in real time using PlenOctrees, an octree-based 3D representation which supports view-dependent effects. Our method c…

The Area Signal-to-Noise Ratio: A Robust Alternative to Peak-Based SNR in Spectroscopic Analysis

Alex Yu, Huaqing Zhao, Lin Z. Li

In spectroscopic analysis, the peak-based signal-to-noise ratio (pSNR) is commonly used but suffers from limitations such as sensitivity to noise spikes and reduced effectiveness f…

Plenoxels: Radiance Fields without Neural Networks

Alex Yu, Sara Fridovich-Keil, Matthew Tancik +3

We introduce Plenoxels (plenoptic voxels), a system for photorealistic view synthesis. Plenoxels represent a scene as a sparse 3D grid with spherical harmonics. This representation…
