Understanding NeRF or Neural Radiance Fields 🧐

It is a method that can synthesize new views of 3D scenes using a small number of input views.

As part of the @weights_biases blogathon (https://t.co/tRddw6jXeA), here are some articles to understand them

Want to dive head first into some code? 🤿
Here is an implementation of NeRF using JAX & Flax https://t.co/pKO5NDSDqv.

The Report used W&B to track the experiments, compare results, ensure reproducibility, and track utilization of the TPU during the experiment.

Mip-NeRF 360 is a follow-up work that looks at whether it's possible to effectively represent an unbounded scene, where the camera may point in any direction and content may exist at any distance.

Training a single NeRF does not scale when trying to represent scenes as large as cities.

To overcome this challenge, Block-NeRF was introduced which yields some amazing reconstructions of San Francisco. Here's one of Lombard Street.

They built their implementation on top of Mip-NeRF, and also combine many NeRFs to reconstruct a coherent large environment from millions of images.

These articles have been written using @weights_biases Reports, a collaboration tool for ML projects.

Here's a thread I wrote about why I love W&B reports

Thanks for reading! 🪄

The W&B blogathon is ending in a few days on June 14, if you'd like to take part and write some nice articles as I've included here, we'd love your participation.

अस्य श्री गायत्री ध्यान श्लोक:
(gAyatri dhyAna shlOka)
• This shloka to meditate personified form of वेदमाता गायत्री was given by Bhagwaan Brahma to Sage yAgnavalkya (याज्ञवल्क्य).

• 14th shloka of गायत्री कवचम् which is taken from वशिष्ठ संहिता, goes as follows..


• मुक्ता-विद्रुम-हेम-नील धवलच्छायैर्मुखस्त्रीक्षणै:।
muktA vidruma hEma nIla dhavalachhAyaiH mukhaistrlkShaNaiH.

• युक्तामिन्दुकला-निबद्धमुकुटां तत्वार्थवर्णात्मिकाम्॥
yuktAmindukalA nibaddha makutAm tatvArtha varNAtmikam.

• गायत्रीं वरदाभयाङ्कुश कशां शुभ्रं कपालं गदाम्।
gAyatrIm vardAbhayANkusha kashAm shubhram kapAlam gadAm.

• शंखं चक्रमथारविन्दयुगलं हस्तैर्वहन्ती भजै॥
shankham chakramathArvinda yugalam hastairvahantIm bhajE.

This shloka describes the form of वेदमाता गायत्री.

• It says, "She has five faces which shine with the colours of a Pearl 'मुक्ता', Coral 'विद्रुम', Gold 'हेम्', Sapphire 'नील्', & a Diamond 'धवलम्'.

• These five faces are symbolic of the five primordial elements called पञ्चमहाभूत:' which makes up the entire existence.

• These are the elements of SPACE, FIRE, WIND, EARTH & WATER.

• All these five faces shine with three eyes 'त्रिक्षणै:'.
