Hash Encoding and Brightness Correction in 3D Industrial and Environmental Reconstruction of Tidal Flat Neural Radiation

Sensors (Basel). 2024 Feb 23;24(5):1451. doi: 10.3390/s24051451.

Abstract

We present an innovative approach to mitigating brightness variations in the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based 3D reconstruction of tidal flat environments, emphasizing industrial applications. Our work focuses on enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of neural radiance fields (NeRF) for 3D scene synthesis. We introduce a novel luminance correction technique to address challenging illumination conditions, employing a convolutional neural network (CNN) for image enhancement in cases of overexposure and underexposure. Additionally, we propose a hash encoding method to optimize the spatial position encoding efficiency of NeRF. The efficacy of our method is validated using diverse datasets, including a custom tidal flat dataset and the Mip-NeRF 360 dataset, demonstrating superior performance across various lighting scenarios.
