NeRF-pytorch

NeRF (Neural Radiance Fields) is a method that achieves state-of-the-art results for synthesizing novel views of complex scenes. Here are some videos generated by this repository (pre-trained models are provided below):

This project is a faithful PyTorch implementation of NeRF that reproduces the results while running 1.3 times faster. The code is based on authors' Tensorflow implementation here, and has been tested to match it numerically.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/yenchenlin/nerf-pytorch.git
cd nerf-pytorch
pip install -r requirements.txt
cd torchsearchsorted
pip install .
cd ../
Dependencies (click to expand)

Dependencies

  • PyTorch 1.4
  • matplotlib
  • numpy
  • imageio
  • imageio-ffmpeg
  • configargparse

The LLFF data loader requires ImageMagick.

You will also need the LLFF code (and COLMAP) set up to compute poses if you want to run on your own real data.

How To Run?

Quick Start

Download data for two example datasets: lego and fern

bash download_example_data.sh

To train a low-res lego NeRF:

python run_nerf.py --config configs/lego.txt

After training for 100k iterations (~4 hours on a single 2080 Ti), you can find the following video at logs/lego_test/lego_test_spiral_100000_rgb.mp4.


To train a low-res fern NeRF:

python run_nerf.py --config configs/fern.txt

After training for 200k iterations (~8 hours on a single 2080 Ti), you can find the following video at logs/fern_test/fern_test_spiral_200000_rgb.mp4 and logs/fern_test/fern_test_spiral_200000_disp.mp4

To train NeRF on different datasets:

python run_nerf.py --config configs/{DATASET}.txt

replace {DATASET} with trex | horns | flower | fortress | lego | etc.


To test NeRF trained on different datasets:

python run_nerf.py --config configs/{DATASET}.txt --render_only

replace {DATASET} with trex | horns | flower | fortress | lego | etc.

Pre-trained Models

You can download the pre-trained models here. Place the downloaded directory in ./logs in order to test it later. See the following directory structure for an example:

├── logs 
│   ├── fern_test
│   ├── flower_test  # downloaded logs
│   ├── trex_test    # downloaded logs

Reproducibility

Tests that ensure the results of all functions and training loop match the official implentation are contained in a different branch reproduce. One can check it out and run the tests:

git checkout reproduce
py.test

A neural radiance field is a simple fully connected network (weights are ~5MB) trained to reproduce input views of a single scene using a rendering loss. The network directly maps from spatial location and viewing direction (5D input) to color and opacity (4D output), acting as the "volume" so we can use volume rendering to differentiably render new views
