Discussions, Conclusions, and Future Works
BioNeRF demonstrates robustness in generating high-quality images for human perceptual judgments.
Stats
Since NeRF relies on the network weights to store the scene’s 3-dimensional representation, BioNeRF implements a cognitive-inspired mechanism that fuses inputs from multiple sources into a memory-like structure.
Experimental results show that BioNeRF outperforms state-of-the-art results concerning a quality measure that encodes human perception in two datasets: real-world images and synthetic data.
