Surface Reconstruction Demo

Installation

First you have to make sure that you have all dependencies in place. The simplest way to do so, is to use anaconda.

You can create an anaconda environment called tf using

conda env create -f tf.yaml
conda activate tf

Training

You can train a new network from pre-train On-Surface Prior Networks, run

python onSurPrior.py --data_dir ./data/ --out_dir ./train_net/ --CUDA 0 --INPUT_NUM 500 --epoch 30000 --input_ply_file input.ply --train

You should put the point cloud file(--input_ply_file, only ply format) into the '--out_dir' folder, '--INPUT_NUM' is the number of points in the '--input_ply_file'.

Test

You can extract the mesh model from the trained network, run

python onSurPrior.py --data_dir ./data/ --out_dir ./train_net/ --CUDA 0 --INPUT_NUM 500 --epoch 30000 --input_ply_file input.ply --test

ToDo

In different datasets or your own data, because of the variation in point cloud density, this '0.25' parameter has a very strong influence on the final result, which controls the distance between the query points and the point cloud. So if you want to get better results, you should adjust this parameter. We give '0.25' here as a reference value, and this value can be used for most object-level reconstructions. For the scene dataset, we will later publish the reference values for the hyperparameter settings for the scene dataset.
