Getting Started

Install PyTorch first, and then load the submodules in the gsplat folder with:

git submodule init
git submodule update

Download Mip-NeRF 360 and NeRF synthetic dataset in hsplat/data folder.

Using gsplat, you can generate new scenes and store Gaussians in the hsplat/models folder, but we also provide pre-optimized Gaussians so that you can run the code out of the box. Download them from here and place them in the hsplat/models folder.

Overview

The code is organized as follows:

• The dsplat folder contains the phase encoding function (e.g., DPAC) for the SLMs, from the complex-valued wavefront output of hsplat.
• The gsplat folder contains the gsplat library.
• The hsplat folder contains CGH algorithm implementations using primitives.

Running the Code

To run our Gaussian Wave Splatting algorithm, run:

bash scripts/main_gws_light.sh

To run CGH algorithms for other primitives, run

bash scripts/main_pc.sh  # point cloud
bash scripts/main_meshes.sh  # polygon-based CGH
bash scripts/main_gws.sh  # GWS matcinhg number of primitives
