From an incomplete point cloud of a 3D scene (left), our method learns to jointly understand the 3D objects and reconstruct instance meshes as the output (right).


Install

  1. This implementation uses Python 3.6, Pytorch1.7.1, cudatoolkit 11.0. We recommend to use conda to deploy the environment.

    • Install with conda:
    conda env create -f environment.yml
    conda activate rfdnet
    
    • Install with pip:
    pip install -r requirements.txt
    
  2. Next, compile the external libraries by

    python setup.py build_ext --inplace
    
  3. Install PointNet++ by

    export CUDA_HOME=/usr/local/cuda-X.X  # replace cuda-X.X with your cuda version.
    cd external/pointnet2_ops_lib
    pip install .
    

Demo

The pretrained model can be downloaded here. Put the pretrained model in the directory as below

out/pretrained_models/pretrained_weight.pth

A demo is illustrated below to see how our method works.

cd RfDNet
python main.py --config configs/config_files/ISCNet_test.yaml --mode demo --demo_path demo/inputs/scene0549_00.off

VTK is used here to visualize the 3D scenes. The outputs will be saved under 'demo/outputs'. You can also play with your toy with this script.

If everything goes smooth, there will be a GUI window popped up and you can interact with the scene as below. screenshot_demo.png

You can also use the offscreen mode by setting offline=True in demo.py to render the 3D scene. The rendered image will be saved in demo/outputs/some_scene_id/pred.png.


Prepare Data

In our paper, we use the input point cloud from the ScanNet dataset, and the annotated instance CAD models from the Scan2CAD dataset. Scan2CAD aligns the object CAD models from ShapeNetCore.v2 to each object in ScanNet, and we use these aligned CAD models as the ground-truth.

Preprocess ScanNet and Scan2CAD data

You can either directly download the processed samples [link] to the directory below (recommended)

datasets/scannet/processed_data/

or

  1. Ask for the ScanNet dataset and download it to
    datasets/scannet/scans
    
  2. Ask for the Scan2CAD dataset and download it to
    datasets/scannet/scan2cad_download_link
    
  3. Preprocess the ScanNet and Scan2CAD dataset for training by
    cd RfDNet
    python utils/scannet/gen_scannet_w_orientation.py
    
Preprocess ShapeNet data

You can either directly download the processed data [link] and extract them to datasets/ShapeNetv2_data/ as below

datasets/ShapeNetv2_data/point
datasets/ShapeNetv2_data/pointcloud
datasets/ShapeNetv2_data/voxel
datasets/ShapeNetv2_data/watertight_scaled_simplified

or

  1. Download ShapeNetCore.v2 to the path below

    datasets/ShapeNetCore.v2
    
  2. Process ShapeNet models into watertight meshes by the following.

    python utils/shapenet/1_fuse_shapenetv2.py
    

    If it does not work, please delete the ./build and .so file in external/librender/ and recompile the pyrender by

    cd RfDNet/external/librender
    rm -rf ./build ./*.so
    python setup.py build_ext --inplace
    
  3. Sample points on ShapeNet models for training (similar to Occupancy Networks).

    python utils/shapenet/2_sample_mesh.py --resize --packbits --float16
    
  4. There are usually 100K+ points per object mesh. We simplify them to speed up our testing and visualization by

    python utils/shapenet/3_simplify_fusion.py --in_dir datasets/ShapeNetv2_data/watertight_scaled --out_dir datasets/ShapeNetv2_data/watertight_scaled_simplified
    
Verify preprocessed data

After preprocessed the data, you can run the visualization script below to check if they are generated correctly.

  • Visualize ScanNet+Scan2CAD+ShapeNet samples by

    python utils/scannet/visualization/vis_gt.py
    

    A VTK window will be popped up like below.

Training, Generating and Evaluation

We use the configuration file (see 'configs/config_files/****.yaml') to fully control the training/testing/generating process. You can check a template at configs/config_files/ISCNet.yaml.

Training

We firstly pretrain our detection module and completion module followed by a joint refining. You can follow the process below.

  1. Pretrain the detection module by

    python main.py --config configs/config_files/ISCNet_detection.yaml --mode train
    

    It will save the detection module weight at out/iscnet/a_folder_with_detection_module/model_best.pth

  2. Copy the weight path of detection module (see 1.) into configs/config_files/ISCNet_completion.yaml as

    weight: ['out/iscnet/a_folder_with_detection_module/model_best.pth']
    

    Then pretrain the completion module by

    python main.py --config configs/config_files/ISCNet_completion.yaml --mode train
    

    It will save the completion module weight at out/iscnet/a_folder_with_completion_module/model_best.pth

  3. Copy the weight path of completion module (see 2.) into configs/config_files/ISCNet.yaml as

    weight: ['out/iscnet/a_folder_with_completion_module/model_best.pth']
    

    Then jointly finetune RfD-Net by

    python main.py --config configs/config_files/ISCNet.yaml --mode train
    

    It will save the trained model weight at out/iscnet/a_folder_with_RfD-Net/model_best.pth

Generating

Copy the weight path of RfD-Net (see 3. above) into configs/config_files/ISCNet_test.yaml as

weight: ['out/iscnet/a_folder_with_RfD-Net/model_best.pth']

Run below to output all scenes in the test set.

python main.py --config configs/config_files/ISCNet_test.yaml --mode test

The 3D scenes for visualization are saved in the folder of out/iscnet/a_folder_with_generated_scenes/visualization. You can visualize a triplet of (input, pred, gt) following a demo below

python utils/scannet/visualization/vis_for_comparison.py 

If everything goes smooth, there will be three windows (corresponding to input, pred, gt) popped up by sequence as

Input Prediction Ground-truth

Evaluation

You can choose each of the following ways for evaluation.

  1. You can export all scenes above to calculate the evaluation metrics with any external library (for researchers who would like to unify the benchmark). Lower the dump_threshold in ISCNet_test.yaml in generation to enable more object proposals for mAP calculation (e.g. dump_threshold=0.05).

  2. In our evaluation, we voxelize the 3D scenes to keep consistent resolution with the baseline methods. To enable this,

    1. make sure the executable binvox are downloaded and configured as an experiment variable (e.g. export its path in ~/.bashrc for Ubuntu). It will be deployed by Trimesh.

    2. Change the ISCNet_test.yaml as below for evaluation.

       test:
         evaluate_mesh_mAP: True
       generation:
         dump_results: False
    

    Run below to report the evaluation results.

    python main.py --config configs/config_files/ISCNet_test.yaml --mode test
    

    The log file will saved in out/iscnet/a_folder_named_with_script_time/log.txt


Differences to the paper

  1. The original paper was implemented with Pytorch 1.1.0, and we reconfigure our code to fit with Pytorch 1.7.1.
  2. A post processing step to align the reconstructed shapes to the input scan is supported. We have verified that it can improve the evaluation performance by a small margin. You can switch on/off it following demo.py.
  3. A different learning rate scheduler is adopted. The learning rate decreases to 0.1x if there is no gain within 20 steps, which is much more efficient.
