surface-normal

This is a tools code repo for CVPR2019 paper 1899: Deep Surface Normal Guided Depth Prediction for Outdoor Secene from Sparce Lidar Data and Single Color Image,by Jiaxiong Qiu, Zhaopeng Cui, Yinda Zhang, Xingdi Zhang, Shuaicheng Liu, Bing Zeng and Marc Pollefeys.

The main code is in here

The toolbox consists of some tools you might need for preparing the training data .

calplane-normal

The most important one is the Mat calplanenormal(Mat &src);

This function calculate the surface normal of the sparce lidar input, it will return a Mat res as the surface normal. You should set fcxcy ,windowsize, threshold before use the function.

The following functions are used in Mat calplanenormal(Mat &src):

void cvFitPlane(const CvMat* points, float* plane);

void CallFitPlane(const Mat& depth,int * points,int i,int j,float *plane12);

void search_plane_neighbor(Mat &img,int i,int j ,float threhold,int* result);

int telldirection(float * abc,int i,int j,float d);


So if you need a clean code , you can download the clean.hpp.

There is a demo in it to show how to use the function. If you get any bugs in the clean.hpp,please check the original tool.cpp or pull an issue or sent me an email at cindyzhang.yono531@gmail.com


Specific description about the Mat calplanenormal(Mat &src);

input :16bit single channel depth image. Output:RGB image(surface normal).

general procedures:

set a windowsize=15

for each valid depth point in src:

search windowsize nearby area, collect all valid depth points in the window

using least square method to estimate the plane and surface normal.

get the normal of the plane as the normal of this depth point

end
