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 deep_mls using

conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate deep_mls

Next, a few customized tensorflow modules should be installed:

O-CNN Module

O-CNN is an octree-based convolution module, please take the following steps to install:

cd Octree && git clone https://github.com/microsoft/O-CNN/
cd O-CNN/octree/external && git clone --recursive https://github.com/wang-ps/octree-ext.git
cd .. && mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..  && cmake --build . --config Release
export PATH=`pwd`:$PATH
cd ../../tensorflow/libs && python build.py --cuda /usr/local/cuda-10.0
cp libocnn.so ../../../ocnn-tf/libs

Efficient Neighbor Searching Ops

Neighbor searching is intensively used in DeepMLS. For efficiency reasons, we provide several customized neighbor searching ops:

cd points3d-tf/points3d
bash build.sh

In this step, some errors like this may occur:

tensorflow_core/include/tensorflow/core/util/gpu_kernel_helper.h:22:10: fatal error: third_party/gpus/cuda/include/cuda_fp16.h: No such file or directory
 #include "third_party/gpus/cuda/include/cuda_fp16.h"

For solving this, please refer to issue.
Basically, We need to edit the codes in tensorflow framework, please modify

#include "third_party/gpus/cuda/include/cuda_fp16.h"

in "site-packages/tensorflow_core/include/tensorflow/core/util/gpu_kernel_helper.h" to

#include "cuda_fp16.h"

and

#include "third_party/gpus/cuda/include/cuComplex.h"
#include "third_party/gpus/cuda/include/cuda.h"

in "site-packages/tensorflow_core/include/tensorflow/core/util/gpu_device_functions.h" to

#include "cuComplex.h"
#include "cuda.h"

Modified Marching Cubes Module

We have modified the PyMCubes to get a more efficient marching cubes method for extract 0-isosurface defined by mls points.
To install:

git clone https://github.com/Andy97/PyMCubes
cd PyMCubes && python setup.py install

Datasets

Preprocessed ShapeNet Dataset

We have provided the processed tfrecords file. This can be used directly.

Our training data is available now! (total 130G+)
Please download all zip files for extraction.
ShapeNet_points_all_train.zip.001
ShapeNet_points_all_train.zip.002
ShapeNet_points_all_train.zip.003
After extraction, please modify the "train_data" field in experiment config json file with this tfrecords name.

Build the Dataset

If you want to build the dataset from your own data, please follow:

Step 1: Get Watertight Meshes

To acquire a watertight mesh, we first preprocess each mesh follow the preprocess steps of Occupancy Networks.

Step 2: Get the groundtruth sdf pair

From step 1, we have already gotten the watertight version of each model. Then, we utilize OpenVDB library to get the sdf values and gradients for training.
For details, please refer to here.

Usage

Inference using pre-trained model

We have provided pretrained models which can be used to inference:

#first download the pretrained models
cd Pretrained && python download_models.py
#then we can use either of the pretrained model to do the inference
cd .. && python DeepMLS_Generation.py Pretrained/Config_d7_1p_pretrained.json --test

The input for the inference is defined in here.
Your can replace it with other point cloud files in examples or your own data.

Extract Isosurface from MLS Points

After inference, now we have network predicted mls points. The next step is to extract the surface:

python mls_marching_cubes.py --i examples/d0fa70e45dee680fa45b742ddc5add59.ply.xyz --o examples/d0fa70e45dee680fa45b742ddc5add59_mc.obj --scale

Training

Our code supports single and multiple gpu training. For details, please refer to the config json file.

python DeepMLS_Generation.py examples/Config_g2_bs32_1p_d6.json

Evaluation

For evaluation of results, ConvONet has provided a great script. Please refer to here.
