In this notebook, we show how to build D³Fields and visualize reconstructed mesh, mask fields, and descriptor fields. We also demonstrate how to track keypoints of a video.

Installation

We recommend Mambaforge instead of the standard anaconda distribution for faster installation:

# create conda environment
mamba env create -f env.yaml
conda activate d3fields

# download pretrained models
bash scripts/download_ckpts.sh
bash scripts/download_data.sh

Visualization

python vis_repr.py # visualize the representation
python vis_tracking.py # visualize the tracking

Code Explanation

Fusion is the core class of D³Fields. It contains the following key functions:

• update: it takes in the observation and updates the internal states.
• text_queries_for_inst_mask: it will query the instance mask according to the text query and thresholds.
• text_queries_for_inst_mask_no_track: it is similar to text_queries_for_inst_mask, but it will not invoke the underlying XMem tracking module.
• eval: it will evaluate associated features for arbitrary 3D points.
• batch_eval: for a large batch of points, it will evaluate them batch by batch to avoid out-of-memory error. The important attributes of Fusion are:
• curr_obs_torch: a dictionary containing the following keys:
  • color: multiview color images in the format of np.uint8 BGR numpy arrays
  • color_tensor: multiview color images in the format of float32 BGR torch tensors
  • depth: multiview depth images in the format of np.float32 torch tensors, unit in meters
  • mask: multiview instance mask images in the format of np.uint8 torch tensors (V, H, W, num_inst)
  • consensus_mask_label: mask labels aggregated from all views in the format of a list of strings.

Customized Dataset

To run D³Fields on your own dataset, you could follow the following steps:

1. Prepare dataset in the following structure:

dataset_name
├── camera_0
│   ├── color
|   |   ├── 0.png
|   |   ├── 1.png
|   |   ├── ...
│   ├── depth
|   |   ├── 0.png
|   |   ├── 1.png
|   |   ├── ...
│   ├── camera_extrinsics.npy
│   ├── camera_params.npy
├── camera_1
├── ...

The definition of camera_extrinsics.npy and camera_params.npy is defined as follows:

camera_extrinsics.npy: (4, 4) numpy array, the extrinsics of the camera, which transforms a point from world coordinate to camera coordinate
camera_params.npy: (4,) numpy array, the camera parameters in the following order: fx, fy, cx, cy

2. Prepare the PCA pickle file for the query texts. Find four images of the queries texts (e.g. mug) with clean bakcground and central objects. Change obj_type within scripts/prepare_pca.py and run it.
3. Specify the workspace boundary as x_lower, x_upper, y_lower, y_upper, z_lower, z_upper.
4. Run python vis_repr_custom.py, such as python vis_repr_custom.py --data_path data/2023-09-15-13-21-56-171587 --pca_path pca_model/mug.pkl --query_texts mug --query_thresholds 0.3 --x_lower -0.4 --x_upper 0.4 --y_upper 0.3 --y_lower -0.4 --z_upper 0.02 --z_lower -0.2

Tips for debugging:

• Make sure the transformation is right by visualizing pcd within vis_repr_custom.py using Open3D.
• If the GPU is out of memory, run vis_repr_custom.py with smaller step. This will generate a more sparse voxel grid.
• Make sure Grounded SAM outputs reasonable results by checking curr_obs_torch['mask'] and curr_obs_torch['consensus_mask_label'] of Fusion class.
