We present an efficient method for joint optimization of topology, materials and lighting from multi-view image observations. Unlike recent reconstruction approaches, which typically produce entangled 3D representations encoded in neural networks, we output triangle meshes with spatially-varying environment that can be deployed any traditional graphics engine unmodified. leverage work differentiable rendering, coordinate-based networks to compactly represent volumetric texturing, alongside...

We present a parallelized optimization method based on fast Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) for estimating 6-DoF pose of camera with respect to an object or scene. Given single observed RGB image the target, we can predict translation and rotation by minimizing residual between pixels rendered from NeRF model in image. integrate momentum-based extrinsic procedure into Instant Graphics Primitives, recent exceptionally implementation. By introducing parallel Monte Carlo sampling estimation task,...

We present a large-scale synthetic dataset for novel view synthesis consisting of ~300k images rendered from nearly 2000 complex scenes using high-quality ray tracing at high resolution (1600 x 1600 pixels). The is orders magnitude larger than existing datasets synthesis, thus providing large unified benchmark both training and evaluation. Using 4 distinct sources 3D meshes, the our exhibit challenging variations in camera views, lighting, shape, materials, textures. Because too methods to...

Factory automation design engineers building the Smart can use wireless 5G broadband networks for added flexibility. New Radio builds upon previous cellular communications standards to include technology "massive machine-type communication" and "ultra-reliable low-latency communication". In this work, authors augment an automated guided vehicle with additional capabilities (e.g., streaming high-resolution video enabling long-distance teleoperation), increasing mobile applications industrial...

This paper presents sub-6 GHz channel measurements using a directional antenna at the transmitter and or omnidirectional receiver 4.145 in sparse dense industrial environments for line-of-sight scenario. Furthermore, first measured over-the-air error vector magnitude (EVM) results depending on different 5G new radio modulation coding schemes (MCSs of16 QAM, 64 QAM 256 QAM) are provided. From measurement campaigns, path loss exponents (PLE) an environment 1.24/1.39 1.35/1.5, respectively. PLE...

Terahertz (THz) frequency technology holds great promise for enabling high data rates and low latency, essential manufacturing applications within Industry 4.0. To achieve these, beam training is necessary to enable MIMO communications without the need explicit channel state information (CSI). In this context, Multi-Armed Bandit (MAB) algorithms are able facilitate online learning decision-making in training, eliminating necessity extensive offline collection. paper, we introduce three...

Neural approximations of scalar and vector fields, such as signed distance functions radiance have emerged accurate, high-quality representations. State-of-the-art results are obtained by conditioning a neural approximation with lookup from trainable feature grids that take on part the learning task allow for smaller, more efficient networks. Unfortunately, these usually come at cost significantly increased memory consumption compared to stand-alone network models. We present dictionary...
