Voxel-GS Dataset

This repository contains datasets and resources related to the paper Voxel-GS: Quantized Scaffold Gaussian Splatting Compression with Run-Length Coding.

Voxel-GS proposes a simple yet highly effective framework for compressing substantial Gaussian splatting format point clouds. It achieves competitive performance using a lightweight rate proxy and run-length coding, departing from complex neural entropy models.

Sample Usage

The following sections provide instructions for setting up the environment and using the Train.py and Coder.py scripts from the GitHub repository to interact with Voxel-GS.

Environment Setup

To set up the environment with cuda 11.7 and python 3.8:

conda install pytorch==1.13.1 torchvision==0.14.1 torchaudio==0.13.1 pytorch-cuda=11.7 -c pytorch -c nvidia
pip install omegaconf,loguru,open3d==0.19.0,opencv-python,plyfile,tensorboard,termcolor,torch_scatter,jaxtyping,einops,lpips
pip install models/submodules/* # from Scaffold-GS

Training

You can train the model using Train.py. After training, stat_log will generate statistical information and save the results in the output folder.

python Train.py

Alternatively, you can download pre-compressed binary files and decompress them directly:

python Coder.py -bin Results/BIN/DeepBlending/playroom/gsbin -eval

Encoding, Decoding, and Evaluation

The Coder.py script can be used for encoding PLY files, decoding binary files, and for visualization and evaluation.

1. Encode a PLY file:

   python Coder.py -ply output/base/Nerf_Synthetic/hotdog/point_cloud/point_cloud_30000.quantized.ply -encode
   

2. Decode a binary (gsbin) file:

   python Coder.py -bin output/base/Nerf_Synthetic/hotdog/gsbin
   

3. Visualize and Evaluate a binary (gsbin) file:

   python Coder.py -bin output/base/Nerf_Synthetic/hotdog/gsbin -show -eval
