BARF
====================

In this example we showcase how to plug the nerfacc library into the *official* codebase 
of `BARF <https://chenhsuanlin.bitbucket.io/bundle-adjusting-NeRF/>`_. See 
`our forked repo <https://github.com/liruilong940607/barf/tree/90440d975fc76b3559126992b2fbce27dd02456f>`_
for details.
