Image-based rendering focuses on rendering scenes from existing captured or rasterized images, typically from a new viewpoint but also potentially with new objects, lighting, or other effects.

Light Fields

Lightfields aim to capture the radiance of light rays within the scene.

NeRF

NeRF preprocesses unstructured light fields into a neural network (MLP) representation which predicts/interpolates unknown light rays based on the known light rays in the scene.


Reconstruction

Reconstruction aims to recreate the 3D scene from a set of input images.
Techniques include structure from motion, multi-view stereo.
This is also known as photogrammetry.
