Abstract
Generalizing Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) to new scenes is a significant challenge that existing approaches struggle to address without extensive modifications to vanilla NeRF framework. We introduce InsertNeRF, a method for INStilling gEneRalizabiliTy into NeRF. By utilizing multiple plug-and-play HyperNet modules, InsertNeRF dynamically tailors NeRF's weights to specific reference scenes, transforming multi-scale sampling-aware features into scene-specific representations. This novel design allows for more accurate and efficient representations of complex appearances and geometries. Experiments show that this method not only achieves superior generalization performance but also provides a flexible pathway for integration with other NeRF-like systems, even in sparse input settings. Code will be available https://github.com/bbbbby-99/InsertNeRF.

Such a plug-and-play hypernetwork-based method can bring an extra performance boost for NeRF generalization, which is proved to be useful. Comparison to previous works and several ablation studies were performed to verify the effectiveness of the aggregation strategy and each component proposed in the HyperNet module.
The paper may need more explanations or descriptions about the insight of the method, to demonstrate why such a strategy or technical designs could help NeRF generalization—the analysis of ``why'' is also important. The experiments are very simple and short, in Figure 3, the methods are close in visualizations. As a prior and baseline work of generalizable work, IBRNet shows close performance to the proposed InsertNeRF.

1. The paper is hard to read. It is unclear what is input to new meeting components. 2. It is hard to understand the general idea of the model, and Fig. 2 is completely unclear. 3. Genera formulas (3) and (4) are unceler. 4. In the experimental section we do not have experiments with the ShapeNet-based dataset (see pixelNeRF).
