Output file

[anekha]

Hello
Wondering if anyone has any insight into the 3D output file generated.
I believe the rendered file is saved in 'output/gs_init/kitchen/test/ours_None and output/gs_init/kitchen/render/ours_None'
I have pulled out the .ply file but it just looks like a point cloud with no rendering. Am I getting something wrong - I wanted to get the 3D file and work with it.

Sorry for the late response! In fact, the ply in the ours_None is a 3DGS file, which can not be directly viewed by Meshlab. For better visualization, you may need a web viewer or a local viewer. You may use https://niujinshuchong.github.io/mip-splatting-demo/ or https://github.com/yzslab/gaussian-splatting-lightning to render this 3DGS file.

Thank you. Do you have any idea if we can refine the output and change it into a .obj or other 3D file that can be used in other applications?

Yes, how to produce mesh from 3DGS is a hot research topic. We have tried SUGAR to extract mesh, but the performance is terrible. Maybe using 2DGS as the 3D representation or using the coarse 3DGS to form a mesh and then binding one 3DGS on each face of the coarse mesh, then optimizing this hybrid 3D representation can achieve fine-granted mesh.

Hi,
do we need mkdir output/gs_init/kitchen manually?

Of course not; code will generate this folder automatically~
