Is there a relatively easy way to apply these kinds of techniques (either NeRFs or gaussian splats) to larger environments even if it's lower precision? Like say small towns/a few blocks worth of env.
- duckworthd 3y agoIn principle, there's no reason you can't fit multiple City blocks at the same time with Instant NGP on a regular desktop. The challenge is in estimating the camera and lens parameters over such a large space. I expect such a reconstruction to be quite fuzzy given the low space resolution.
- ibrarmalik 3y agoYou’re under the right paper for doing this. Instead of one big model, they have several smaller ones for regions in the scene. This way rendering is fast for large scenes. This is similar to Block-NeRF [0], in their project page they show some videos of what you’re asking. As for an easy way of doing this, nothing out-of-the-box. You can keep an eye on nerfstudio [1], and if you feel brave you could implement this paper and make a PR!

- CuriousCosmic 3y agoOooh fun. I'm glad it seems possible nowadays. I might take a swing at putting together an out of the box tool at some point if nobody beats me to it first.
