This is not an officially supported Google product.

Setup

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/google/nerfactor.git

2. Install a Conda environment with all dependencies:

   cd nerfactor
   conda env create -f environment.yml
   conda activate nerfactor

Tips:

• You can find the TensorFlow, cuDNN, and CUDA versions in environment.yml.
• The IPython dependency in environment.yml is for IPython.embed() alone. If you are not using that to insert breakpoints during debugging, you can take it out (it should not hurt to just leave it there).

Data

If you are using our data, see the "Downloads" section of the project page.

If you are BYOD (bringing your own data), go to data_gen/ to either render your own synthetic data or process your real captures.

Running the Code

Go to nerfactor/ and follow the instructions there.
