mesh results(5.27):

Mipnerf360(PSNR):

	bicycle	garden	stump	room	counter	kitchen	bonsai
Paper	25.80	28.20	27.55	32.65	29.38	32.50	34.46
This repo	25.44	27.98	26.75	32.13	29.10	32.63	34.20

Blender(PSNR):

	chair	drums	ficus	hotdog	lego	materials	mic	ship
Paper	34.84	25.84	33.90	37.14	34.84	31.66	35.15	31.38
This repo	35.26	25.51	32.66	36.56	35.04	29.43	34.93	31.38

For Mipnerf360 dataset, the model is trained with a downsample factor of 4 for outdoor scene and 2 for indoor scene(same as in paper). Training speed is about 1.5x slower than paper(1.5 hours on 8 A6000).

The hash decay loss seems to have little effect(?), as many floaters can be found in the final results in both experiments (especially in Blender).

Use NerfStudio

https://github.com/nerfstudio-project/nerfstudio
Nerfstudio provides a simple API that allows for a simplified end-to-end process of creating, training, and testing NeRFs. The library supports a more interpretable implementation of NeRFs by modularizing each component. You can use the viewer provided by nerfstudio to view the render results during the training process.

Install

pip install nerfstudio  
# cd zipnerf-pytorch
pip install -e . 
ns-install-cli

Train & eval

ns-train zipnerf --data {DATA_DIR/SCENE}
ns-eval --load-config {outputs/SCENE/zipnerf/EXP_DIR/config.yml}

ns-train zipnerf -h  # show the full list of model configuration options.
ns-train zipnerf colmap -h  # dataparset configuration options

*Nerfstudio's ColmapDataParser rounds down the image size when downscaling, which is different from the 360_v2 dataset.You can use nerfstudio to reprocess the data or modify the code logic for downscale in the library as dicussed in nerfstudio-project/nerfstudio#1438.
*Nerfstudio's train/eval division strategy is different from this repo. Final training and evaluation results may vary.

For more usage or information, please see https://github.com/nerfstudio-project/nerfstudio.

Configuration

for Zipnerf-pytorch

You can create a new .gin file and pass in the 'gin_file' list in ZipNerfModelConfig of zipnerf_ns/zipnerf_config.py or update the contents of the default .gin file.

for nerfstudio

ns-train zipnerf -h
ns-train zipnerf colmap -h

You can modify zipnerf_ns/zipnerf_config.py, or use the instruction.

Viewer

Given a pretrained model checkpoint, you can start the viewer by running

ns-viewer --load-config outputs/SCENE/zipnerf/EXP_TIME/config.yml  

Remote Server

If you are running on a remote machine, you will need to port forward the websocket port (defaults to 7007). SSH must be set up on the remote machine. Then run the following on this machine:

ssh -L <port>:localhost:<port> [email protected]

Extract mesh

Mesh results can be found in the directory exp/${EXP_NAME}/mesh

# more configuration can be found in internal/configs.py
accelerate launch extract.py \
    --gin_configs=configs/360.gin \
    --gin_bindings="Config.data_dir = '${DATA_DIR}'" \
    --gin_bindings="Config.exp_name = '${EXP_NAME}'" \
    --gin_bindings="Config.factor = 4"
#    --gin_bindings="Config.mesh_radius = 1"  # (optional) smaller for more details e.g. 0.2 in bicycle scene
#    --gin_bindings="Config.isosurface_threshold = 20"  # (optional) empirical value
#    --gin_bindings="Config.mesh_voxels=134217728"  # (optional) number of voxels used to extract mesh, e.g. 134217728 equals to 512**3 . Smaller values may solve OutoFMemoryError
#    --gin_bindings="Config.vertex_color = True"  # (optional) saving mesh with vertex color instead of atlas which is much slower but with more details.
#    --gin_bindings="Config.vertex_projection = True"  # (optional) use projection for vertex color

# or extracting mesh using tsdf method
accelerate launch tsdf.py \
    --gin_configs=configs/360.gin \
    --gin_bindings="Config.data_dir = '${DATA_DIR}'" \
    --gin_bindings="Config.exp_name = '${EXP_NAME}'" \
    --gin_bindings="Config.factor = 4"

# alternatively you can use an example script 
bash scripts/extract_360.sh

OutOfMemory

you can decrease the total batch size by adding e.g. --gin_bindings="Config.batch_size = 8192" , or decrease the test chunk size by adding e.g. --gin_bindings="Config.render_chunk_size = 8192" , or use more GPU by configure accelerate config .
