Number of research and several methods have been proposed for 3D reconstruction from 2D images. The first is a triangulation approach based on determining the same points in images taken from different angles to approximate a point cloud in 3D space and then reconstructing the mesh. This is purely a computation-based approach. Another approach is to redefine 3D reconstruction problems as recognition problems and use the existing knowledge about 3D space and projection to reconstruct, much like how humans do. This knowledge is approximated using deep learning models. However, in these approaches, the mesh reconstruction part is extremely expensive. This cost can be reduced by trying to reconstruct the view rather than trying to reconstruct the mesh. Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) has been used to generate novel views. NeRF represents a scene using a fullyconnected deep network, whose input is a spatial location and viewing direction and output is the volume density and view-dependent emitted radiance at that spatial location. We synthesize views by querying 5D coordinates along camera rays and use classic volume rendering techniques to project the output colors and densities into an image. In this project, we have used the latter approach.
