ClimateNeRF: Extreme Weather Synthesis in Neural Radiance Field Yuan Li, Zhi-Hao Lin, David Forsyth, Jia-Bin Huang, and Shenlong Wang International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV), 2023 📝 Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.13226 🌐 Website: https://climatenerf.github.io/ 💻 Code: https://github.com/y-u-a-n-l-i/Climate_NeRF 📄 Abstract: Physical simulations produce excellent predictions of weather effects. Neural radiance fields produce SOTA scene models. We describe a novel NeRF-editing procedure that can fuse physical simulations with NeRF models of scenes, producing realistic movies of physical phenomena in those scenes. Our application -- Climate NeRF -- allows people to visualize what climate change outcomes will do to them. ClimateNeRF allows us to render realistic weather effects, including smog, snow, and flood. Results can be controlled with physically meaningful variables like water level. Qualitative and quantitative studies show that our simulated results are significantly more realistic than those from SOTA 2D image editing and SOTA 3D NeRF stylization.
