Tech can turn a 2D into a 3D landscape

AI boffins at Nvidia have developed a way to convert 2D images into a 3D scene by using ultra-fast neural network training alongside rapid rendering.


The method is called inverse rendering and uses AI to approximate how light behaves in the real world to turn 2D images taken at different angles into 3D scenes.

Nvidia's researchers applied their novel approach to a popular new technology called neural radiance fields (NeRF). Nvidia calls its product Instant NeRF and claims it is the fastest NeRF technique to in the West and can do what it is supposed to do more than 1,000 times faster than some methods.
