Active Perception using Neural Radiance Fields
We study active perception from first principles to argue that an autonomous agent performing active perception should maximize the mutual information that past observations posses about future ones. Doing so requires (a) a representation of the scene that summarizes past observations and the ability to update this representation to incorporate new ...

A Diffusion Approach to Radiance Field Relighting using Multi-Illumination Synthesis
Relighting radiance fields is severely underconstrained for multi-view data, which is most often captured under a single illumination condition; It is especially hard for full scenes containing multiple objects.
