Novel view synthesis generates new perspectives of a scene from a set of 2D images, enabling 3D applications like VR/AR, robotics, and autonomous driving. Current state-of-the-art methods produce high-fidelity results but require a lot of images, while sparse-view approaches often suffer from artifacts or slow inference. In this talk, I will present my research work focused on developing fast and photorealistic novel view synthesis techniques capable of handling extremely sparse input views.
