Our method converges very quickly and achieves real-time rendering speed.
New Colab demo: (Thanks Tasmay-Tibrewal
)
Old Colab demo: (Thanks camenduru.)
Light Gaussian implementation: This link (Thanks pablodawson)
2024.03.04: We change the hyperparameters of the Neu3D dataset, corresponding to our paper
2024.02.28: Update SIBR viewer guidance.
2024.02.27: Accepted by CVPR 2024. We delete some logging settings for debugging, the corrected training time is only 8 mins (20 mins before) in D-NeRF datasets and 30 mins (1 hour before) in HyperNeRF datasets. The rendering quality is not affected.
Please follow the 3D-GS to install the relative packages.
git clone https://github.com/hustvl/4DGaussians
cd 4DGaussians
git submodule update --init --recursive
conda create -n Gaussians4D python=3.7
conda activate Gaussians4D
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e submodules/depth-diff-gaussian-rasterization
pip install -e submodules/simple-knn
In our environment, we use pytorch=1.13.1+cu116.
For synthetic scenes: The dataset provided in D-NeRF is used. You can download the dataset from dropbox.
For real dynamic scenes: The dataset provided in HyperNeRF is used. You can download scenes from Hypernerf Dataset and organize them as Nerfies. Meanwhile, Plenoptic Dataset could be downloaded from their official websites. To save the memory, you should extract the frames of each video and then organize your dataset as follows.

For training synthetic scenes such as bouncingballs
, run
python train.py -s data/dnerf/bouncingballs --port 6017 --expname "dnerf/bouncingballs" --configs arguments/dnerf/bouncingballs.py
You can customize your training config through the config files.
Checkpoint
Also, you can training your model with checkpoint.
python train.py -s data/dnerf/bouncingballs --port 6017 --expname "dnerf/bouncingballs" --configs arguments/dnerf/bouncingballs.py --checkpoint_iterations 200 # change it.
Then load checkpoint with:
python train.py -s data/dnerf/bouncingballs --port 6017 --expname "dnerf/bouncingballs" --configs arguments/dnerf/bouncingballs.py --start_checkpoint "output/dnerf/bouncingballs/chkpnt_coarse_200.pth"
# finestage: --start_checkpoint "output/dnerf/bouncingballs/chkpnt_fine_200.pth"
Run the following script to render the images.
python render.py --model_path "output/dnerf/bouncingballs/" --skip_train --configs arguments/dnerf/bouncingballs.py &
You can just run the following script to evaluate the model.
python metrics.py --model_path "output/dnerf/bouncingballs/"
Install nerfstudio and follow their colmap pipeline.
pip install nerfstudio
ns-process-data images --data data/your-data --output-dir data/your-ns-data
cp -r data/your-ns-data/images data/your-ns-data/colmap/images
python train.py -s data/your-ns-data/colmap --port 6017 --expname "custom" --configs arguments/hypernerf/default.py
There are some helpful scripts in , please feel free to use them.
vis_point.py
:
get all points clouds at each timestamps.
usage:
export exp_name="hypernerf"
python vis_point.py --model_path output/$exp_name/interp/aleks-teapot --configs arguments/$exp_name/default.py
weight_visualization.ipynb
:
visualize the weight of Multi-resolution HexPlane module.
merge_many_4dgs.py
:
merge your trained 4dgs.
usage:
export exp_name="dynerf"
python merge_many_4dgs.py --model_path output/$exp_name/sear_steak
colmap.sh
:
generate point clouds from input data
bash colmap.sh data/hypernerf/virg/vrig-chicken hypernerf
bash colmap.sh data/dynerf/sear_steak llff
Blender format seems doesn't work. Welcome to raise a pull request to fix it.
downsample_point.py
:downsample generated point clouds by sfm.
python scripts/downsample_point.py data/dynerf/sear_steak/colmap/dense/workspace/fused.ply data/dynerf/sear_steak/points3D_downsample2.ply
In my paper, I always use colmap.sh
to generate dense point clouds and downsample it to less than 40000 points.
Here are some codes maybe useful but never adopted in my paper, you can also try it.
