DroneDeploy NeRF Dataset ("DNF") contains a number of real world scenes captured by drone that include high resolution images, camera poses (intrinsics and extrinsics) and dense color point clouds. It is intended for computer vision research. All reconstructions were created using DroneDeploy.

The cameras.xml contains the poses of each camera along with the distortion parameters, intrinsics and extrinsics. See tools/util.py for working with this file directly. The images directory contains the images and points/points.ply contains the dense pointcloud with x,y,z,red,green,blue.

The tools directory contains an expanding collection of tools for working with and transforming the dataset. Contributions are welcome.

tools/dd2ngp.py - create a cameras.json ready for use with Instant Neural Graphics Primitives. The default cameras.json is included in each zip of the dataset and uses the 50 nearest images to the center of the scene. If you want to use different cameras you can use this script to re-generate a cameras.json.

instant-ngp$ ./build/testbed --scene ./datasets/house1/cameras.json

or

python scripts/run.py --mode="nerf" --scene="house1/cameras.json" --screenshot_transforms="house1/cameras.json"  --width="1216" --height="912" --screenshot_dir="house1/output" --near_distance="0"  --screenshot_spp="16"
