Plenoxels: Radiance Fields without Neural Networks

We introduce Plenoxels (plenoptic voxels), a systemfor photorealistic view synthesis. On standard, benchmark tasks, Plenoxels are optimized two orders of magnitude faster than Neural Radiance Fields with no loss in visual quality.

• 1 Plenoxels represent a scene as a sparse 3D grid with spherical harmonics.
• 2 This representation can be optimized from calibrated images via gradient methods and regularization without any neural components.
• 3 On standard, benchmark tasks, Plenoxels are optimized two orders of magnitude faster than Neural Radiance Fields with no loss in visual quality.

This research advances how AI systems learn, reason, and solve problems — with direct implications for automation and scientific discovery.
