HistReNeRF framework relocalizes historic photos in 3D scenes

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed HistReNeRF, a novel framework designed to accurately relocalize historical photographs within contemporary 3D scene reconstructions. This method addresses the challenges posed by differences in appearance, objects, and spatial layouts between historical and modern imagery. By adapting DINOv2 patch features and querying a Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) reconstruction, HistReNeRF estimates the 6-DoF pose of historical photos. Evaluations on a new dataset of European landmarks demonstrated that this embedding-space adaptation reduces translation and rotation errors by an average of 11% and 16%, respectively, outperforming pixel-space methods.

    HistReNeRF: Historic Image Relocalisation within Contemporary Neural Radiance Field Reconstructions

    arXiv:2608.15420v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Relocalising archival photographs within a contemporary scene model is challenging because historic and modern views can differ in photographic appearance, visible objects, and spatial layout. Therefore, we present HistReNeRF, a fra…
