ThermoNeRF

This repo is the official Pytorch code from ThermoNerf.

Introduction

Summary of the method

we present ThermoNeRF, a novel multimodal approach based on Neural Radiance Fields, capable of rendering new RGB and thermal views of a scene jointly. To overcome the lack of texture in thermal images, we use paired RGB and thermal images to learn scene density, while distinct networks estimate color and temperature information.

One of the unique contribution of ThermoNeRF is that both RGB and thermal data are used to backpropagate to the density, leading to a consistent representation of the scene for both RGB and thermal.

The ThermoNeRF package is built on top of Nerfstudio.

Dataset

We introduce ThermoScenes, a new dataset to palliate the lack of available RGB+thermal datasets for scene reconstruction.

We also provide instructions on how to build your own thermal scene. If you create a new scene and wish to share it with everyone, send it to us and we may add it to ThermoScenes.

Installation

ThermoNeRF was tested under Python 3.10 with torch 1.13.1. Install the package by running pip install -e . and then thermoNeRF should be ready to go.

Train and Evaluate

To train and evaluate ThermoNeRF, first download our dataset and then use the following scripts

python thermo_nerf/scripts/train_eval_script.py --data-asset-path DATA_PATH --model-type thermal-nerf --max-num-iterations ITERATIONS

E.g.

python thermo_nerf/scripts/train_eval_script.py --data data/ThermoScenes/double_robot/ --model_type thermal-nerf --max_num_iterations 1000

Evaluate

To evaluate a model, run the following script.

python thermo_nerf/scripts/eval_script.py --dataset_path DATA_PATH --model_uri MODEL_PATH --output_folder RESULTS_PATH

Render

Rendering can be done by creating specific camera poses (camera path) and query them from your trained model. For more information about it, check Nerfstudio Documentation

To render a path of a scpefic scene using a pretrained model, use the following script

python thermo_nerf/scripts/render_video_script.py --dataset_path DATA_PATH --model_uri MODEL_PATH --camera_path_filename CAMERA_PATH_JSON --output_dir RENDER_RESULTS_PATH

Contribute

We welcome contributions! Feel free to fork and submit PRs.

We format code using black and follow PEP8. The code needs to be type annotated and following our documentation style.
