We present the first method capable of photorealistically reconstructing a non-rigidly
deforming scene using photos/videos captured casually from mobile phones.
</p>
<p>
Our approach augments neural radiance fields
(NeRF) by optimizing an
additional continuous volumetric deformation field that warps each observed point into a
canonical 5D NeRF.
We observe that these NeRF-like deformation fields are prone to local minima, and
propose a coarse-to-fine optimization method for coordinate-based models that allows for
more robust optimization.
By adapting principles from geometry processing and physical simulation to NeRF-like
models, we propose an elastic regularization of the deformation field that further
improves robustness.

We show that <span class="dnerf">Nerfies</span> can turn casually captured selfie
photos/videos into deformable NeRF
models that allow for photorealistic renderings of the subject from arbitrary
viewpoints, which we dub <i>"nerfies"</i>. We evaluate our method by collecting data
using a
rig with two mobile phones that take time-synchronized photos, yielding train/validation
images of the same pose at different viewpoints. We show that our method faithfully
reconstructs non-rigidly deforming scenes and reproduces unseen views with high
fidelity.
Machine learning is currently undergoing an explosion in capability, popularity, and sophistication. However, one of the major barriers to widespread acceptance of machine learning (ML) is trustworthiness: most ML models operate as black boxes, their inner workings opaque and mysterious, and it can be difficult to trust their conclusions without understanding how those conclusions are reached. Explainability is therefore a key aspect of improving trustworthiness: the ability to better understand, interpret, and anticipate the behaviour of ML models. To this end, we propose SMILE, a new method that builds on previous approaches by making use of statistical distance measures to improve explainability while remaining applicable to a wide range of input data domains.
