Abstract
We propose NerfAcc, a toolbox for efficient volumetric rendering of radiance fields. We build on the techniques proposed in Instant-NGP, and extend these techniques to not only support bounded static scenes, but also for dynamic scenes and unbounded scenes. NerfAcc comes with a user-friendly Python API, and is ready for plug-and-play acceleration of most NeRFs. Various examples are provided to show how to use this toolbox. Code can be found here: https://github.com/KAIR-BAIR/nerfacc. Note this write-up matches with NerfAcc v0.3.5.
