Descrizione Instant Neural Graphics Primitives (Instant NGP) [1] have shown great success in solving 3D tasks like view synthesis, surface reconstruction and general signal representation. Despite their speed, they require to solve an optimization problem at test time, which still limits their scalability, and they possess no prior knowledge about the target signals. In this thesis, the candidate will study meta-learning techniques to provide an initialization point with prior knowledge to Instant NGP. This is expected to provide benefits such as accelerated convergence, higher-quality solutions or improve the rate-distortion performance of the representation if used for compression, as suggested by evidence on older implicit representation models [2,3].
