In this paper, we consider a voxel grid-based radiance field framework for representing 3D static scene. One of the representative frameworks, Plenoxels, utilizes a total variation regularizer to effectively remove artifacts by encouraging similarity of features between neighboring voxels. This term is combined with the existing reconstruction loss through a weighted sum, but finding a well-balanced weight parameter can be challenging. To address this issue, ...
