SANeRF-HQ presents a framework for high-quality, prompt-based 3D object segmentation within Neural Radiance Fields, effectively integrating SAM's capabilities to produce accurate and multi-view consistent object masks. The method consistently outperforms prior approaches on diverse NeRF datasets in terms of mIoU and Accuracy by aggregating 2D SAM masks into a 3D object field and refining boundaries with a novel Ray-Pair RGB loss.

Key insights

  • Aggregating 2D segmentation masks from multiple views into a unified 3D object field is crucial for achieving high multi-view consistency and accurate 3D segmentation in NeRFs.
  • Refining segmentation boundaries by leveraging color similarity and focusing loss application on challenging regions (Ray-Pair RGB loss) can significantly enhance mask quality, even with continuous neural representations.
  • Leveraging pre-computed high-quality 2D SAM features (feature caching) generally yields more accurate results than distilling them into a 3D feature field, though distillation offers efficiency for novel view rendering.
