ViT+CLIP+NeRF: Fewshot Learning, Putting NeRF on a Diet

Putting NeRF in a Diet

Is anyone interested in Computer Vision Field? :smiley:
Our team project goal is the implementation of this paper:
Putting NeRF on a Diet: Semantically Consistent Few-Shot View Synthesis :

With this project, We will code a 3D neural scene representation (NeRF: Neural Radiances Field) estimated from a few images. Which is based on extracting the semantic information using a pre-trained visual encoder such as CLIP, a Vision Transformer.

1. Languages and Skills

  • Languages : Python, Pytorch, JAX
  • Other Skills : Git, Github, Cloud Computing Experience

2. Model / Baseline Code

  • ViT, CLIP : https://github.com/openai/CLIP

  • Meatlearning-NeRF (Learned Initialization Paper : JAX Based NeRF Code) :
    https://github.com/tancik/learnit

  • NeRF (Pytorch Based NeRF Code) : https://github.com/yenchenlin/nerf-pytorch

3. Datasets

  • Phototourism dataset:
    https://www.cs.ubc.ca/~kmyi/imw2020/data.html

  • Realistic Synthetic dataset :
    https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/128yBriW1IG_3NJ5Rp7APSTZsJqdJdfc1

  • DTU multi-view stereo (MVS) dataset :
    http://roboimagedata.compute.dtu.dk/?page_id=36

4. Challenges

  • JAX based NeRF Code
  • Data Preprocessing
  • CLIP / NeRF training with TPU
  • Augmentation CLIP to NeRF with JAX based code

5. Project Goal Output

The desired project output is an implementation of the Fewshot learning NeRF model which is using CLIP+ViT (JAX based code)

Sure!

This looks like an ambitious project!

Out of curiosity, how long do you think itā€™ll take to NeRF in JAX? VIT and CLIP are already available in JAX.

Itā€™s important to define the scope such that the project can be finished with the given time and compute budget.

@valhalla Thank you for fast response. :grinning: Could I reply after checking more detail on the paper? At now I guess that CLIP and NeRF could be available as JAX code but connecting CLIP and NeRF + Training unified model to new data would be challenge for our team. Also we will consider detail implementation on the paper.

Sure!

Is there still space left for one more :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:?

I have been looking at Few-shot learning for the past month and experimenting with Resnet architectures, would love to try ViT and CLIP.
