Usage

The preferred way to use LichtFeld Studio is to import your data (undistorted images + pointcloud + camera locations) in COLMAP format.
Have a look at these 2 introduction videos on how to get your images ready for use in LichtFeld Studio:

LichtFeld Studio Beginner Tutorial - Using Reality Scan to create a  dataset for LichtFeld Studio LichtFeld Studio Beginner Tutorial - Using Colmap to create a  dataset for LichtFeld Studio

Example datasets can be found here

Once your dataset is ready, you can use LFS to train your images to create a Gaussian Splat, either using the GUI or the command line.
