Paper β’ 2601.06928 β’ Published
Scaled-down reproduction of RenderFlow: Single-Step Neural Rendering via Flow Matching (Zhang et al., CVPR 2026).
Conditional UNet (~22M params, 256Γ256, pixel space), trained with Brownian-bridge matching (Ο=0.005, discrete 4-step schedule βͺ uniform-t mixture), flowing albedo β fully shaded image, conditioned on albedo + normals + depth + tonemapped HDRI (FiLM).
Test results (300 frames, held-out procedural Mitsuba scenes, seed 0):
| inference | PSNR | SSIM | LPIPS | latency/frame |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 step | 25.50 dB | 0.796 | 0.230 | 20.1 ms (a10g) |
| 4 steps (Euler) | 25.66 dB | 0.810 | 0.231 | 78.4 ms |
Determinism: Β±0.16 dB PSNR across repeated identical runs (GPU kernel noise; no sampling stochasticity).
Trained: 15,000 micro-steps, effective batch 32, AdamW lr 1e-4, bf16 autocast, + LPIPS/gradient pixel losses (Ξ»=1).
