TriNeRFLet: A Wavelet Based Triplane NeRF Representation

In recent years, the neural radiance field (NeRF) model has gained popularity due to its ability to recover complex 3D scenes. Following its success, many approaches proposed different NeRF representations in order to further improve both runtime and performance. One such example is Triplane, in which NeRF is represented using three 2D feature planes. This enables easily using existing 2D neural networks in this framework, e.g., to generate the three planes. Despite its advantage, the triplane representation lagged behind in 3D recovery quality compared to NeRF solutions. In this work, we propose the TriNeRFLet framework, where we learn the wavelet representation of the triplane and regularize it. This approach has multiple advantages: (i) it allows information sharing across scales and regularization of high frequencies; (ii) it facilitates performing learning in a multi-scale fashion; and (iii) it provides a ‘natural’ framework for performing NeRF super-resolution (SR), such that the low-resolution wavelet coefficients are computed from the provided low-resolution multi-view images and the high frequencies are acquired under the guidance of a pre-trained 2D diffusion model. We show the SR approach’s advantage on both Blender and LLFF datasets.
