# NeRF++
Codebase for arXiv preprint:
* Work with 360 capture of large-scale unbounded scenes.
* Support multi-gpu training and inference with PyTorch DistributedDataParallel (DDP).
* Optimize per-image autoexposure (**experimental feature**).
## Data
* Download our preprocessed data from [tanks_and_temples](https://drive.google.com/file/d/11KRfN91W1AxAW6lOFs4EeYDbeoQZCi87/view?usp=sharing), [lf_data](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gsjDjkbTh4GAR9fFqlIDZ__qR9NYTURQ/view?usp=sharing).
* Put the data in the sub-folder data/ of this code directory.
* Data format.
* Each scene consists of 3 splits: train/test/validation.
* Intrinsics and poses are stored as flattened 4x4 matrices (row-major).
* Poses are camera-to-world, not world-to-camera transformations.
* Opencv camera coordinate system is adopted, i.e., x--->right, y--->down, z--->scene.
* To convert camera poses between Opencv and Opengl conventions, the following snippet can be used for both Opengl2Opencv and Opencv2Opengl.
```python
import numpy as np
def convert_pose(C2W):
flip_yz = np.eye(4)
flip_yz[1, 1] = -1
flip_yz[2, 2] = -1
C2W = np.matmul(C2W, flip_yz)
return C2W
```
* Scene normalization: move the average camera center to origin, and put all the camera centers inside the unit sphere.
## Create environment
```bash
conda env create --file environment.yml
conda activate nerf-ddp
```
## Training (Use all available GPUs by default)
```python
python ddp_train_nerf.py --config configs/tanks_and_temples/tat_training_truck.txt
```
## Testing (Use all available GPUs by default)
```python
python ddp_test_nerf.py --config configs/tanks_and_temples/tat_training_truck.txt \
--render_splits test,camera_path
```
