 ## 🛠️ Installation
 
-You can either run `install.sh` or manually install using the following:
+You can install it just:
 
 ```bash
-git clone git@github.com:CompVis/EDGS.git --recursive
-cd EDGS
-git submodule update --init --recursive 
+docker compose up -d
+```
 
-conda create -y -n edgs python=3.10 pip
-conda activate edgs
+or you can install with running `script/install.sh`.
 
-# Set up path to your CUDA. In our experience similar versions like 12.2 also work well

-conda install nvidia/label/cuda-12.1.0::cuda-toolkit -y
+We evaluated on the following datasets:

-pip install -e submodules/gaussian-splatting/submodules/simple-knn

+- **Tanks & Temples + Deep Blending** — from the [original 3DGS repo](https://repo-sam.inria.fr/fungraph/3d-gaussian-splatting/datasets/input/tandt_db.zip).
+
+### Using Your Own Dataset
 
-# For COLMAP and pycolmap
-# Optionally install original colmap but probably pycolmap suffices
-# conda install conda-forge/label/colmap_dev::colmap
-pip install pycolmap
+#### Option A
+Use gradle demo.
+After running `docker compose up -d`,
+```
+docker compose exec edgs-app bash
+python script/gradio_demo.py --port 7862
+```
 
+#### Option B
+From command line.
+```
+docker compose exec edgs-app bash
+python script/fit_model_to_scene_full.py --video_path <your mp4 video> [--output_dir <EDGS output directory>]
+```
 
-pip install wandb hydra-core tqdm torchmetrics lpips matplotlib rich plyfile imageio imageio-ffmpeg
-conda install numpy=1.26.4 -y -c conda-forge --override-channels
+> **🔧 Enhanced Video Processing**: The video processing pipeline now includes improved frame extraction with ffmpeg support, automatic handling of problematic video formats, and optimized COLMAP settings to ensure single unified reconstructions instead of fragmented models.

-conda install anaconda::jupyter --yes
+**Additinal features:**
 
-# Stuff necessary for gradio and visualizations
-pip install gradio 
-pip install plotly scikit-learn moviepy==2.1.1 ffmpeg
-pip install open3d 
+1. **Skip COLMAP reconstruction** - Use existing COLMAP results to save time:
+```bash
+python script/fit_model_to_scene_full.py --colmap_scene_dir <path_to_colmap_scene>
 ```
 
-<a id="sec-data"></a>
-## 📦 Data
+2. **Separate output directory** - Keep COLMAP input and EDGS output separate:
+```bash
+python script/fit_model_to_scene_full.py \
+    --colmap_scene_dir <colmap_scene> \
+    --output_dir <edgs_output_dir>
+```
 
-We evaluated on the following datasets:
+3. **Memory-efficient configurations** - For GPUs with limited memory:
+```bash
+# Low memory mode (recommended for 12GB GPUs)
+python script/fit_model_to_scene_full.py --video_path <video> --config train_low_memory
 
-- **MipNeRF360** — download [here](https://jonbarron.info/mipnerf360/). Unzip "Dataset Pt. 1" and "Dataset Pt. 2", then merge scenes.
-- **Tanks & Temples + Deep Blending** — from the [original 3DGS repo](https://repo-sam.inria.fr/fungraph/3d-gaussian-splatting/datasets/input/tandt_db.zip).
+# Very low memory mode (for 8GB GPUs or very large scenes)  
+python script/fit_model_to_scene_full.py --video_path <video> --config train_very_low_memory
+```
 
-### Using Your Own Dataset
+4. **Frame extraction control** - Control video sampling rate for reconstruction quality:
+```bash
+# Extract frames at 3 fps (default, good balance)
+python script/fit_model_to_scene_full.py --video_path <video> --target_fps 3.0
+
+# Higher density extraction for complex scenes (4-5 fps)
+python script/fit_model_to_scene_full.py --video_path <video> --target_fps 5.0
+
+# Lower density for long videos or memory constraints (1-2 fps)
+python script/fit_model_to_scene_full.py --video_path <video> --target_fps 1.5
+```
 
+**Examples:**
+```bash
+# Process new video with low memory settings and custom frame rate
+python script/fit_model_to_scene_full.py \
+    --video_path data/my_video.mov \
+    --config train_low_memory \
+    --target_fps 3.0 \
+    --output_dir outputs/my_video_edgs
+
+# High-quality processing for complex scenes
+python script/fit_model_to_scene_full.py \
+    --video_path data/forest_scene.mp4 \
+    --config train_low_memory \
+    --target_fps 4.0 \
+    --output_dir outputs/forest_high_quality
+
+# Process problematic/4K videos with conservative settings
+python script/fit_model_to_scene_full.py \
+    --video_path data/4k_drone_video.MP4 \
+    --config train_very_low_memory \
+    --target_fps 2.0 \
+    --output_dir outputs/drone_4k
+
+# Use existing COLMAP scene with custom output location
+python script/fit_model_to_scene_full.py \
+    --colmap_scene_dir outputs/my_colmap_scene \
+    --config train_low_memory \
+    --output_dir outputs/my_edgs_results
+```
+
+#### Option C
+Using Jupyter lab.
+```
+docker compose exec edgs-app bash
+```
+And in the terminal in the docker container,
+```
+jupyter lab --ip=0.0.0.0 --port=8888 --no-browser --allow-root --notebook-dir=notebooks
+```
+After JupyterLab starts, it will print URLs to the terminal. Look for a URL containing a token, like:
+    `http://127.0.0.1:8888/lab?token=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx`
+Open `http://localhost:8888` (or `http://127.0.0.1:8888`) in your host browser.
+When prompted for a "Password or token", paste the `xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx` part from the URL in step 4 into the field and log in. Alternatively, you can paste the full URL from step 4 directly into your browser.
+
+#### Option D
 You can use the same data format as the [3DGS project](https://github.com/graphdeco-inria/gaussian-splatting?tab=readme-ov-file#processing-your-own-scenes). Please follow their guide to prepare your scene.

+Then run training command as described below section.

 Nerf synthetic format is also acceptable. 
 
 You can also use functions provided in our code to convert a collection of images or a sinlge video into a desired format. However, this may requre tweaking and processing time can be large for large collection of images with little overlap.
 
+## 🎬 Video Processing Improvements
+
+Recent enhancements to the video processing pipeline provide better handling of various video formats and improved reconstruction quality:
+
+### **Key Features:**
+- **Robust Frame Extraction**: Uses ffmpeg with OpenCV fallback for reliable processing of problematic video formats
+- **Single Reconstruction Guarantee**: Optimized COLMAP settings prevent fragmented reconstructions (multiple sparse/0, sparse/1, etc.)
+- **Configurable Frame Density**: Control extraction rate with `--target_fps` parameter for quality vs. performance trade-offs
+- **High-Resolution Support**: Automatic handling of 4K and high-resolution videos with memory management
+- **Corrupted Video Recovery**: Handles videos with incorrect metadata or codec issues
+
+### **Best Practices:**
+- **Forest/Complex Scenes**: Use `--target_fps 4.0` for better overlap
+- **Long Videos**: Use `--target_fps 1.5` to limit frame count
+- **4K/High-Res Videos**: Use `--config train_very_low_memory --target_fps 2.0`
+- **Standard Processing**: Default `--target_fps 3.0` works well for most cases

+# # EDGS: Eliminating Densification for Gaussian Splatting
+# EDGS improves 3D Gaussian Splatting by removing the need for densification. It starts from a dense point cloud initialization based on 2D correspondences, leading to:
+# - ⚡ Faster convergence (only 25% of training time)
+#  - 🌀 Higher rendering quality
+#  - 💡 No need for progressive densification
