Nerfstudio has merged a new method, BioNeRF, into their supported models.

Biologically Plausible Neural Radiance Fields for View Synthesis, or BioNeRF, draws inspiration from how cortical circuits work in the human brain and the behavior of pyramidal cells to model memory and contextual based information.

There hasn’t been any concrete figures on how much VRAM was used to run BioNeRF, however, in their paper they stated that they used an 8GB VRAM card to process data. Given this bottleneck, they authors wondered how their method would compare when using full batch sizes

Adding your method to Nerfstudio is a very quick way to get people in their ecosystem trying out your method. For those who want to learn more about how they can have their method in Nerfstudio, their team has created documentation here.

Nerfstudio has quietly continued to roll new updates and features in, since their last update.
