Create environment

conda env create --file environment.yml
conda activate evggs

Then, compile the diff-gaussian-rasterization in 3DGS repository:

git clone https://github.com/graphdeco-inria/gaussian-splatting --recursive
cd gaussian-splatting/
pip install -e submodules/diff-gaussian-rasterization
cd ..

Download models

Download the pretrained models from OneDrive that are placed at \pretrain_ckpt. This directory includes two warmup ckpts and a pretrained ckpts on the synthetic dataset.

Running the code

Download dataset

Ev3D-S

A large-scale synthetic Event-based dataset with varying textures and materials accompanied by well-calibrated frames, depth, and groundtruths.

You can download the dataset from OneDrive and unzip it. A 50 GB of storage space is necessary.
EV3D-R

A large-scale realistic Event-based 3D dataset containing various objects captured by a real event camera DVXplore.

Due to some licensing reasons, we currently need your private application to use this dataset, but this will be addressed soon.

Training

python train_gs.py

Evaluation

python eval_gs.py

In configs\Ev3D_pretrain, several primary settings are defined such as experimental name, customized dataset path, please check.
