contents Existing Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) methods suffer from the existence of reflective objects, often resulting in blurry or distorted rendering. Instead of calculating a single radiance field, we propose a multi-space neural radiance field (MS-NeRF) that represents the scene using a group of feature fields in parallel sub-spaces, which leads to a better understanding of the neural network toward the existence of reflective and refractive objects. Our multi-space scheme works as an enhancement to existing NeRF methods, with only small computational overheads needed for training and inferring the extra-space outputs. We design different multi-space modules for representative MLP-based and grid-based NeRF methods, which improve Mip-NeRF 360 by 4.15 dB in PSNR with 0.5% extra parameters and further improve TensoRF by 2.71 dB with 0.046% extra parameters on reflective regions without degrading the rendering quality on other regions. We further construct a novel dataset consisting of 33 synthetic scenes and 7 real captured scenes with complex reflection and refraction, where we design complex camera paths to fully benchmark the robustness of NeRF-based methods. Extensive experiments show that our approach significantly outperforms the existing single-space NeRF methods for rendering high-quality scenes concerned with complex light paths through mirror-like objects. The source code, dataset, and results are available via our project page: https://zx-yin.github.io/msnerf/.
