Bases: Encoding

Learned K-Planes encoding

A plane encoding supporting both 3D and 4D coordinates. With 3D coordinates this is similar to TriplaneEncoding. With 4D coordinates, the encoding at point [i,j,k,q] is a n-dimensional vector computed as the elementwise product of 6 n-dimensional vectors at planes[i,j], planes[i,k], planes[i,q], planes[j,k], planes[j,q], planes[k,q].

Unlike TriplaneEncoding this class supports different resolution along each axis.

This will return a tensor of shape (bs:…, num_components)

Parameters
  • resolution – Resolution of the grid. Can be a sequence of 3 or 4 integers.

  • num_components – The number of scalar planes to use (ie: output feature size)

  • init_a – The lower-bound of the uniform distribution used to initialize the spatial planes

  • init_b – The upper-bound of the uniform distribution used to initialize the spatial planes

  • reduce – Whether to use the element-wise product of the planes or the sum

class nerfstudio.field_components.encodings.TriplaneEncoding(resolution: int = 32, num_components: int = 64, init_scale: float = 0.1, reduce: Literal['sum', 'product'] = 'sum')[source]#

Bases: Encoding

Learned triplane encoding

The encoding at [i,j,k] is an n dimensional vector corresponding to the element-wise product of the three n dimensional vectors at plane_coeff[i,j], plane_coeff[i,k], and plane_coeff[j,k].

This allows for marginally more expressivity than the TensorVMEncoding, and each component is self standing and symmetrical, unlike with VM decomposition where we needed one component with a vector along all the x, y, z directions for symmetry.

This can be thought of as 3 planes of features perpendicular to the x, y, and z axes, respectively and intersecting at the origin, and the encoding being the element-wise product of the element at the projection of [i, j, k] on these planes.

The use for this is in representing a tensor decomp of a 4D embedding tensor: (x, y, z, feature_size)

This will return a tensor of shape (bs:…, num_components)

Parameters
  • resolution – Resolution of grid.

  • num_components – The number of scalar triplanes to use (ie: output feature size)

  • init_scale – The scale of the initial values of the planes

  • product – Whether to use the element-wise product of the planes or the sum
