We present a method enabling the scaling of NeRFs to learn a large number of semantically-similar scenes. We combine two techniques to improve the required training time and memory cost per scene. First, we learn a 3D-aware latent space in which we train Tri-Plane scene representations, hence reducing the resolution at which scenes are learned. Moreover, we present a way to share common information across scenes, hence allowing for a reduction of model complexity to learn a particular scene. Our method reduces effective per-scene memory costs by 44% and per-scene time costs by 86% when training 1000 scenes. Our project page can be found at https://3da-ae.github.io .

Advances in neural fields are enabling high-fidelity capture of the shape and appearance of static and dynamic scenes. However, their capabilities lag behind those offered by representations such as pixels or meshes due to algorithmic challenges and the lack of large-scale real-world datasets. We address the dataset limitation with DiVA-360, a real-world 360 dynamic visual-audio dataset with synchronized multimodal visual, audio, and textual information about table-scale scenes. It contains 46 dynamic scenes, 30 static scenes, and 95 static objects spanning 11 categories captured using a new hardware system using 53 RGB cameras at 120 FPS and 6 microphones for a total of 8.6M image frames and 1360 s of dynamic data. We provide detailed text descriptions for all scenes, foreground-background segmentation masks, category-specific 3D pose alignment for static objects, as well as metrics for comparison. Our data, hardware and software, and code are available at https://diva360.github.io/.

This paper proposes two important contributions for conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (cGANs) to improve the wide variety of applications that exploit this architecture. The first main contribution is an analysis of cGANs to show that they are not explicitly conditional. In particular, it will be shown that the discriminator and subsequently the cGAN does not automatically learn the conditionality between inputs. The second contribution is a new method, called acontrario, that explicitly models conditionality for both parts of the adversarial architecture via a novel acontrario loss that involves training the discriminator to learn unconditional (adverse) examples. This leads to a novel type of data augmentation approach for GANs (acontrario learning) which allows to restrict the search space of the generator to conditional outputs using adverse examples. Extensive experimentation is carried out to evaluate the conditionality of the discriminator by proposing a probability distribution analysis. Comparisons with the cGAN architecture for different applications show significant improvements in performance on well known datasets including, semantic image synthesis, image segmentation and monocular depth prediction using different metrics including Fr\'echet Inception Distance(FID), mean Intersection over Union (mIoU), Root Mean Square Error log (RMSE log) and Number of statistically-Different Bins (NDB)
