The V4D framework introduces a voxel-based approach for 4D novel view synthesis in dynamic scenes from single-view video, addressing limitations of MLP-based methods. It achieves improved rendering quality with a PSNR of 33.72 on synthetic dynamic datasets and significantly faster inference at 0.48 seconds, utilizing novel modules for detail enhancement and color refinement without relying on auxiliary data.

Key insights

  • Separating density and texture into distinct voxel grids helps avoid optimization conflicts and enhances the representation capacity for complex dynamic scenes.
  • Time-dependent phase shifts within positional encoding effectively re-introduce high-frequency information, counteracting over-smoothing caused by regularization.
  • A plug-and-play LUTs refinement module provides consistent pixel-level color improvements with minimal computational overhead, applicable to both 3D static and 4D dynamic synthesis.
