Radiance Fields Techniques - Review

PhD Review - 20/01/2026
This presentation was a gentle introduction to radiance fields techniques for 3D reconstruction. Firstly answering the basics of these algorithms: what is a radiance field, what is rendering, How to represent a 3D space, what metrics are used. Secondly, presenting the vanilla implementations of NeRF and 3DGS, and finally analyzing some extensions to improve reconstruction speed or broaden application domains (such as SLAM and underwater environments).
