Deceptive-NeRF: Enhancing NeRF Reconstruction using Pseudo-Observations from Diffusion Models
This paper introduces Deceptive-NeRF, a new method for enhancing the quality of reconstructed NeRF models using synthetically generated pseudo-observations, capable of handling sparse input and removing floater artifacts. Our proposed method involves three key steps: 1) reconstruct a coarse NeRF model from sparse inputs; 2) generate pseudo-observations based on the coarse model; 3) refine the NeRF model using pseudo-observations to produce a high-quality reconstruction. To generate photo-realistic pseudo-observations that faithfully preserve the identity of the reconstructed scene while remaining consistent with the sparse inputs, we develop a rectification latent diffusion model that generates images conditional on a coarse RGB image and depth map, which are derived from the coarse NeRF and latent text embedding from input images. Extensive experiments show that our method is effective and can generate perceptually high-quality NeRF even with very sparse inputs.
