OX-NeRF: 3D X-ray Tomography Reconstruction from Sparse Views Using Implicit Neural Representation

To address this problem we present a new framework, Optimised X-ray Neural Radiance Fields (OX-NeRF), that combines cross-scene feature learning with scene-specific optimisation to reconstruct sets of related scenes.

Key points

  • NeRF and Gaussian splatting methods have been successfully applied on X-ray scenes where the views are too sparse for 3D reconstruction via classical methods.
  • Ultra-sparse scenes with 10 or fewer views such as those with high-rate or low-dose acquisition still, however, present a significant challenge.
  • OX-NeRF employs a convolutional neural network (CNN) to identify cross-scene features while maintaining scene-specific multi-resolution hash grids of spatial features.
  • Benchmarking on parallel-beam and cone-beam X-ray datasets shows OX-NeRF provides significantly higher reconstruction accuracy on ultra-sparse scenes compared to existing radiance field methods.
