The Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) proposed an interesting way to represent a 3D scene using an implicit network for high fidelity volumetric rendering. Compared with traditional methods to generate textured 3D mesh and rendering the final mesh, NeRF provides a fully differntiable way to learn geometry, texture, and material properties for specularity, which is very difficult to capture using non-differentiable traditional reconstruction methods.
