How do they decide where to use the little letters in these acronyms? Seems like it should either be HDR-NRF or something like HiDR-NeRF. Come on folks. Naming consistency, please.

NeRF was already standardized in the literature by people who are not these authors [0] and HDR is also already standardized by people who are not these authors [1]. Go with the flow unless you have a very good reason not to.

HDR is probably HDR and not some other clever name because there was no obvious clever name with an easy pronunciation. Whereas NRF is just so close to NeRF -- an actual word people are familiar with -- it's begging to be pronounced that way.

Wouldn't matter, people would complain anyway. HDRs gonna H8.

Doesn't the vowel for e in "neural" match the e in in Nerf?

[yieldcrv]

aka its NeRF or nothing

More importantly they missed the opportunity to call it NeRF-HDR, pronounced Nerf Herder.

I personally appreciate abbreviations that easily roll of the tongue and seem like words on their own. I believe it's important to be able to talk fluently about these things, to better relate to and understand them.
