About

What is nerfacc?

nerfacc is a PyTorch-based acceleration toolbox specifically designed for Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs), optimizing both training and inference processes. It emphasizes efficient volumetric sampling using computationally cheap estimators to discover surfaces, making it universal and plug-and-play for most NeRF models. Users can integrate nerfacc with minimal code modifications by defining `sigma_fn` for density computation and `rgb_sigma_fn` for color and density, enabling significant speedups. The toolbox supports various NeRF papers and offers a pure Python interface with flexible APIs. Installation is straightforward via PyPI or source, with pre-built wheels available for major PyTorch and CUDA combinations.

Best used for

Ideal for developers and data scientists who need to significantly speed up the training and inference of Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs), integrate efficient volumetric sampling into their models, and leverage PyTorch for acceleration. Especially valuable for researchers and practitioners working on static, dynamic, and camera optimization NeRF projects.

FAQs

What are the main benefits of using nerfacc for NeRF development?

nerfacc provides significant speedups for both training and inference of NeRF models by focusing on efficient volumetric sampling. It offers a universal, plug-and-play solution with minimal code modifications, making it easy to integrate into existing PyTorch-based NeRF projects.

How do I integrate nerfacc into my existing NeRF codebase?

To integrate nerfacc, you primarily need to define two functions: `sigma_fn` to compute density for the estimator and `rgb_sigma_fn` to compute color and density for differentiable volumetric rendering. These functions allow nerfacc to work with your user-defined radiance field.

What are the installation requirements for nerfacc?

nerfacc requires PyTorch to be installed first. You can install it via pip, which will build the CUDA code on the first run (JIT), or install from source. Pre-built wheels are also available for various PyTorch and CUDA combinations to simplify installation.
