Nerfacc Versions Save

Highlights

Rendering (during test-time) with OccGridEstimator is now 2x - 3x faster. (see https://github.com/KAIR-BAIR/nerfacc/pull/217).

Start supporting ray generation with CUDA acceleration.

• nerfacc.cameras.opencv_lens_undistortion
• nerfacc.cameras.opencv_lens_undistortion_fisheye

What's Changed

This is a major update with 90% of the underlying code rewritten. Aside from improved efficiency, we also have some methodology changes with more examples and benchmarks:

• Upgrade Occupancy Grid to support multiple levels.
• Support Proposal Network from Mip-NeRF 360.
• Update examples on unbounded scenes to use Multi-level Occupancy Grid or Proposal Network.
• Contraction for Occupancy Grid is no longer supported due to it's inefficiency for ray traversal.

Examples & Benchmarks:

Highlight

Multi-res Occupancy Grid is now support! Reduce the training time of 360 scenes from 20mins -> 5mins.

What's Changed

• Updates on examples by @97littleleaf11 in https://github.com/KAIR-BAIR/nerfacc/pull/174
• Support multi-res occ grid & prop net by @liruilong940607 in https://github.com/KAIR-BAIR/nerfacc/pull/176
• Fix train_mlp_nerf and save the model at the end of training by @97littleleaf11 in https://github.com/KAIR-BAIR/nerfacc/pull/177
• scatter_add_ -> index_add_ by @loicmagne in https://github.com/KAIR-BAIR/nerfacc/pull/179

Fix JIT build failure with pip install nerfacc.

Pre-built wheels on both Linux and Windows.

The easist way is to install from PyPI. In this way it will build the CUDA code on the first run (JIT).

pip install nerfacc

Or install from source. In this way it will build the CUDA code during installation.

pip install git+https://github.com/KAIR-BAIR/nerfacc.git

We also provide pre-built wheels covering major combinations of Pytorch + CUDA supported by official Pytorch.

# e.g., torch 1.13.0 + cu117
pip install nerfacc -f https://nerfacc-bucket.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/whl/torch-1.13.0_cu117.html

* Pytorch does not support Windows pre-built wheels for those combinations thus we do not support as well.
