num_samples_to_save

[Lassi-Ki]

作者您好，我想问一下训练的时候 num_samples_to_save 具体的意义是什么，是挑选出num_samples_to_save个函数去生成图片么，还是说要用一个函数去生成num_samples_to_save个图片？

Hello author, I would like to ask what the specific meaning of num_samples_to_save is, during the training. Should the number of num_samples_to_save function be selected to generate images, or should a function be used to generate the num_samples_to_save number of images?

Hi! num_samples_to_save refers to the number of images/voxels/globes to sample and save during training. So for example, if num_samples_to_save = 32, after every epoch we would sample 32 functions, evaluate each of them to make e.g. 32 images and then save these. The reason we change this depending on the image size or data type is because saving a lot of high resolution images or high resolution mesh renders consumes a lot of memory, so for large scale data we save fewer samples. Hope this makes sense!
