Hierarchical NeRF with JAX3D for Volumetric Rendering, Novel-View Synthesis, and 3D Reconstruction

In this tutorial, we build an end-to-end hierarchical Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) using JAX, Flax, Optax, and the volume-rendering primitives provided by jax3d. We first construct a synthetic multi-view dataset from an analytic scene containing volumetric geometry and view-dependent radiance, using sample_along_rays and volume_rendering to establish the forward rendering process. We then…
