Diffusion models and NeRF combine for probabilistic 3D scene reconstruction

Researchers have developed a novel method for 3D scene reconstruction by integrating diffusion models with Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF). This approach treats 3D reconstruction as a probabilistic problem, using a stochastic latent variable to represent the scene. The model learns a prior over these latents and performs posterior inference using diffusion models combined with a reconstruction likelihood term derived from volumetric rendering. The system demonstrates accurate 3D structure prediction from various inputs, including single-view, multi-view, noisy images, sparse pixels, and sparse depth data, effectively modeling the uncertainty associated with each observation type.
