NeRFmm is the Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) that deal with Joint Optimization tasks, i.e., reconstructing real-world scenes and registering camera parameters simultaneously. Despite NeRFmm producing precise scene synthesis and pose estimations, it still struggles to outperform the full-annotated baseline on challenging scenes. In this work, we identify that there exists a systematic sub-optimality in joint optimization and further identify multiple potential sources for it. To diminish the impacts of potential sources, we propose Sinusoidal Neural Radiance Fields (SiNeRF) that leverage sinusoidal activations for radiance mapping and a novel Mixed Region Sampling (MRS) for selecting ray batch efficiently. Quantitative and qualitative results show that compared to NeRFmm, SiNeRF achieves comprehensive significant improvements in image synthesis quality and pose estimation accuracy.
