Neural Reflectance Fields for Radio-Frequency Ray Tracing

  • 将光学神经反射场迁移至射频域,同时建模信号幅度与相位。
  • 在复杂环境中仅用少量数据即实现更精准的接收功率预测。
  • 适合从事无线通信、智能城市仿真与射频建模的研究者。

射线追踪广泛用于建模复杂环境中射频(RF)信号的传播,其性能高度依赖于场景几何和表面材料属性的准确刻画。计算机视觉与激光雷达技术已显著提升场景几何估计精度,但真实环境中材料反射率的高效估算仍缺乏可扩展的方法。本文通过从发射端到接收端的路径损耗数据,高效学习材料反射系数,使预测与实测接收功率的差距最小化。我们提出将神经反射场从光学领域迁移至射频域,建模信号的幅度与相位以考虑多径效应,并设计一种可微分的射频射线追踪框架,优化神经反射场以匹配信号强度测量值。在复杂真实环境的仿真中,结果表明该方法能成功学习所有入射角下的反射系数,相较现有方法,在显著减少训练数据的前提下实现更高的接收功率预测精度。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Ray tracing is widely employed to model the propagation of radio-frequency (RF) signal in complex environment. The modelling performance greatly depends on how accurately the target scene can be depicted, including the scene geometry and surface material properties. The advances in computer vision and LiDAR make scene geometry estimation increasingly accurate, but there still lacks scalable and efficient approaches to estimate the material reflectivity in real-world environment. In this work, we tackle this problem by learning the material reflectivity efficiently from the path loss of the RF signal from the transmitters to receivers. Specifically, we want the learned material reflection coefficients to minimize the gap between the predicted and measured powers of the receivers. We achieve this by translating the neural reflectance field from optics to RF domain by modelling both the amplitude and phase of RF signals to account for the multipath effects. We further propose a differentiable RF ray tracing framework that optimizes the neural reflectance field to match the signal strength measurements. We simulate a complex real-world environment for experiments and our simulation results show that the neural reflectance field can successfully learn the reflection coefficients for all incident angles. As a result, our approach achieves better accuracy in predicting the powers of receivers with significantly less training data compared to existing approaches.
