Installation

Create environment through conda:

conda create -n icomma python=3.10
conda activate icomma

Install PyTorch compatible with the CUDA version: My CUDA version is 11.7, and the PyTorch version is 1.13.1.

pip install torch==1.13.1+cu117 torchvision==0.14.1+cu117 torchaudio==0.13.1 --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu117

Clone the repository and install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/YuanSun-XJTU/iComMa.git
cd iComMa
pip install -r requirements.txt

Tutorial

1. Download the pre-trained LoFTR model. Download the LoFTR model to the path: LoFTR/ckpt.

├── LoFTR 
│   ├── ckpt   
│       ├── indoor_ds_new.ckpt
│       ├── indoor_ot.ckpt
│       ├── outdoor_ds.ckpt
│       ├── outdoor_ot.ckpt

Compared to the raw LoFTR code, we have modified the files LoFTR\src\loftr\utils\coarse_matching.py and LoFTR\src\loftr\utils\fine_matching.py to ensure gradient backpropagation.

2. Prepare data and train the 3DGS model. We evaluated our method using the Blender, LLFF, and 360° Scene datasets provided by NeRF and Mip-NeRF 360. You can download them from their respective project pages.

Alternatively, you can build your own Colmap-type dataset following the guidelines of 3D Gaussian Splatting.

After obtaining the <source path>, train the 3DGS model according to the tutorial of 3D Gaussian Splatting. It should have the following directory structure:

├── <model path> 
│   ├── point_cloud   
│   ├── cameras.json
│   ├── cfg_args
│   ├── input.ply

3. Camera pose estimation. Run iComMa for camera pose estimation with the following script:

python run.py -m <model path> --obs_img_index <query camera index> --delta <camera pose transformation>

<camera pose transformation> represents a transformation applied to the camera pose corresponding to the query image, used to initialize the start camera pose. It is a list, for example, [30, 10, 5, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3]. The first three values represent rotational transformations, and the last three values represent translational transformations.
