## Abstract (arXiv)

Novel view synthesis for dynamic scenes is one of the spotlights in computer vision. The key to efficient dynamic view synthesis is to find a compact representation to store the information across time. Though existing methods achieve fast dynamic view synthesis by tensor decomposition or hash grid feature concatenation, their mixed representations ignore the structural difference between time domain and spatial domain, resulting in sub-optimal computation and storage cost. This paper presents T-Code, the efficient decoupled latent code for the time dimension only. The decomposed feature design enables customizing modules to cater for different scenarios with individual specialty and yielding desired results at lower cost. Based on T-Code, we propose our highly compact hybrid neural graphics primitives (HybridNGP) for multi-camera setting and deformation neural graphics primitives with T-Code (DNGP-T) for monocular scenario. Experiments show that HybridNGP delivers high fidelity results at top processing speed with much less storage consumption, while DNGP-T achieves state-of-the-art quality and high training speed for monocular reconstruction.
