contents In recent years, the development of Neural Radiance Fields has enabled a previously unseen level of photo-realistic 3D reconstruction of scenes and objects from multi-view camera data. However, previous methods use an oversimplified pinhole camera model resulting in defocus blur being `baked' into the reconstructed radiance field. We propose a modification to the ray casting that leverages the optics of lenses to enhance scene reconstruction in the presence of defocus blur. This allows us to improve the quality of radiance field reconstructions from the measurements of a practical camera with finite aperture. We show that the proposed model matches the defocus blur behavior of practical cameras more closely than pinhole models and other approximations of defocus blur models, particularly in the presence of partial occlusions. This allows us to achieve sharper reconstructions, improving the PSNR on validation of all-in-focus images, on both synthetic and real datasets, by up to 3 dB.
