Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the 3D scene into discrete voxel grid representations, dividing the continuous implicit field into discrete volumetric elements. This segmentation enables faster querying and rendering by pre-computing and storing spatial occupancy information in a structured grid format, resolving the contradiction between processing capability and inference speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-training the neural network to learn spatial occupancy distributions and pre-computing voxel grid representations during the training phase. This preliminary learning of implicit representations allows the system to achieve real-time inference by simply querying pre-learned spatial distributions without heavy computation during rendering.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the training framework universal by using unpaired images from a single viewpoint to train multiple functions simultaneously: spatial occupancy prediction, depth estimation, and novel view synthesis. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for complex paired data while maintaining training accuracy, resolving the contradiction between accuracy and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of using the conventional approach of requiring paired images for supervised training, the patent inverts the approach by using unpaired single-view images and leveraging the learned spatial distributions to generate synthetic views for self-supervised training. This inversion eliminates data pairing requirements while maintaining training effectiveness.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from processing continuous 3D implicit representations to discrete voxel grid representations, adding a discrete dimensional structure to the continuous field. This dimensionality change enables efficient spatial indexing and querying operations while preserving the accuracy of implicit representations, resolving the contradiction between representation accuracy and computational efficiency.
