Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An image rendering method includes the steps below. A model of an environmental object is rendered to obtain an image of the environmental object in a target perspective. An image of a target object in the target perspective and a model of the target object are determined according to a neural radiance field of the target object. The image of the target object is fused and rendered into the image of the environmental object according to the model of the target object.
