Abstract
Neural rendering is a new image and video generation method based on deep learning. It combines the deep learning model with the physical knowledge of computer graphics, to obtain a controllable and realistic scene model, and realize the control of scene attributes such as lighting, camera parameters, posture and so on. On the one hand, neural rendering can not only make full use of the advantages of deep learning to accelerate the traditional forward rendering process, but also provide new solutions for specific tasks such as inverse rendering and 3D reconstruction. On the other hand, the design of innovative hardware structures that adapt to the neural rendering pipeline breaks through the parallel computing and power consumption bottleneck of existing graphics processors, which is expected to provide important support for future key areas such as virtual and augmented reality, film…
