Alibaba’s VQRF Realizes a 100x Compression Rate, Reducing Volumetric Radiance Files to 1 MB

AI-powered image synthesis has achieved results that would have been unimaginable just a few years ago — and there is much more to come. Introduced in a 2020 ECCV paper, Neural radiance fields (NeRF) use deep neural networks to model and render entire 3D scenes based on 2D images — a technique that will supercharge virtual and…
