# Putting NeRF on a Diet: Semantically Consistent Few-Shot View Synthesis Implementation

<p align="center"><img width="450" alt="스크린샷 2021-07-04 오후 4 11 51" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/77657524/126361638-4aad58e8-4efb-4fc5-bf78-f53d03799e1e.png"></p>

Welcome to Putting NeRF on a Diet Project! 
This project is the Pytorch, JAX/Flax based code implementation of this paper [Putting NeRF on a Diet : Ajay Jain, Matthew Tancik, Pieter Abbeel, Arxiv : https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.00677] 
The model generates the novel view synthesis redering (NeRF: Neural Radiances Field) with Fewshot learning scheme.
The semantic loss use the pre-trained CLIP Vision Transformer embedding. This information can give a 2D supervision for 3D.
The Diet NeRF result outperforms the original NeRF in 3D reconstruction and neural rendering with only few images.

Based on the principle
that “a bulldozer is a bulldozer from any perspective”, Our proposed DietNeRF supervises the radiance field from arbitrary poses
(DietNeRF cameras). This is possible because we compute a semantic consistency loss in a feature space capturing high-level
scene attributes, not in pixel space. We extract semantic representations of renderings using the CLIP Vision Transformer, then
maximize similarity with representations of ground-truth views. In
effect, we use prior knowledge about scene semantics learned by
single-view 2D image encoders to constrain a 3D representation.

You can check detail information on the author's paper. Also, you can check the CLIP based semantic loss structure on the following image.

Our code used JAX/FLAX framework for implementation. So that it can achieve much speed up than other NeRF code. Moreover, we implemented multiple GPU distribution ray code. it helps much smaller training time. At last, our code used hugging face, transformer,  CLIP model library. 

## 🤟 How to use
```
python -m train \
  --data_dir=/PATH/TO/YOUR/SCENE/DATA \ % e.g., nerf_synthetic/lego
  --train_dir=/PATH/TO/THE/PLACE/YOU/WANT/TO/SAVE/CHECKPOINTS \
  --config=configs/CONFIG_YOU_LIKE
```
You can toggle the semantic loss by “use_semantic_loss” in configuration files.

## 💎 Expriment Result

### ❗ Rendered Rendering images by 8-shot learned Diet-NeRF

DietNeRF has a strong capacity to generalise on novel and challenging views with EXTREMELY SMALL TRAINING SAMPLES!

### ❗ Rendered GIF by occluded 14-shot learned NeRF and Diet-NeRF

We made aritificial occulusion on the right side of image (Only picked left side training poses).
The reconstruction quality can be compared with this experiment.
Diet NeRF shows better quailty than Original NeRF when It is occulused.
