PlaneNet: Piece-wise Planar Reconstruction from a Single RGB Image

By Chen Liu, Jimei Yang, Duygu Ceylan, Ersin Yumer, and Yasutaka Furukawa

Introduction

This paper presents the first end-to-end neural architecture for piece-wise planar reconstruction from a single RGB image. The proposed network, PlaneNet, learns to directly infer a set of plane parameters and corresponding plane segmentation masks. For more details, please refer to our CVPR 2018 paper or visit our project website.

Updates

We developed a better technique, PlaneRCNN, for piece-wise planar detection as described in our recent arXiv paper. Unfortunately, we cannot release the code and data yet.

We add script for extracting plane information from the original ScanNet dataset and rendering 3D planar segmentation results to 2D views. Please see the README in folder data_preparation/ for details. Note that we made some modifications to the heuristic-heavy plane fitting algorithms when cleaning up the messy codes developed over time. So the plane fitting results will be slightly different with the training data we used (provided in the .tfrecords files).

PyTorch training and testing codes are available now (still experimental and without the CRF module).

Dependencies

Python 2.7, TensorFlow (>= 1.3), numpy, opencv 3.

Getting started

Compilation

Please run the following commands to compile the library for the crfasrnn module.

cd cpp
sh compile.sh
cd ..

To train the network, you also need to run the following commands to compile the library for computing the set matching loss. You need Eigen (I am using Eigen 3.2.92) for the compilation. (Please see here for details.)

cd nndistance
make
cd ..

Data preparation

We convert ScanNet data to .tfrecords files for training and testing. The training data can be downloaded from here (or here if you cannont access the previous one), and the validation data can be downloaded from here (or here).

If you download the training data from the BOX link, please run the following command to merge downloaded files into one .tfrecords file.

cat training_data_segments/* > planes_scannet_train.tfrecords

Training

To train the network from the pretrained DeepLab network, please first download the DeepLab model here (under the Caffe to TensorFlow conversion), and then run the following command.

python train_planenet.py --restore=0 --modelPathDeepLab="path to the deep lab model" --dataFolder="folder which contains tfrecords files"

Evaluation

Please first download our trained network from here (or here) and put the uncompressed folder under ./checkpoint folder.

To evaluate the performance against existing methods, please run:

python evaluate.py --dataFolder="folder which contains tfrecords files"

Plane representation

A plane is represented by three parameters and a segmentation mask. If the plane equation is nx=d where n is the surface normal and d is the plane offset, then plane parameters are nd. The plane equation is in the camera frame, where x points to the right, y points to the front, and z points to the up.

Applications

Please first download our trained network (see [Evaluation](### Evaluation) section for details). Script predict.py predicts and visualizes custom images (if "customImageFolder" is specified) or ScanNet testing images (if "dataFolder" is specified).

python predict.py --customImageFolder="folder which contains custom images"
python predict.py --dataFolder="folder which contains tfrecords files" [--startIndex=0] [--numImages=30]

This will generate visualization images, a webpage containing all the visualization, as well as cache files under folder "predict/".

Same commands can be used for various applications by providing optional arguments, applicationType, imageIndex, textureImageFilename, and some application-specific arguments. The following commands are used to generate visualizations in the submission. (The TV application needs more manual specification for better visualization.)

python predict.py --dataFolder=/mnt/vision/Data/PlaneNet/ --textureImageFilename=texture_images/CVPR.jpg --imageIndex=118 --applicationType=logo_texture --startIndex=118 --numImages=1
python predict.py --dataFolder=/mnt/vision/Data/PlaneNet/ --textureImageFilename=texture_images/CVPR.jpg --imageIndex=118 --applicationType=logo_video --startIndex=118 --numImages=1
python predict.py --dataFolder=/mnt/vision/Data/PlaneNet/ --textureImageFilename=texture_images/checkerboard.jpg --imageIndex=72 --applicationType=wall_texture --wallIndices=7,9 --startIndex=72 --numImages=1
python predict.py --dataFolder=/mnt/vision/Data/PlaneNet/ --textureImageFilename=texture_images/checkerboard.jpg --imageIndex=72 --applicationType=wall_video --wallIndices=7,9 --startIndex=72 --numImages=1
python predict.py --customImageFolder=my_images/TV/ --textureImageFilename=texture_images/TV.mp4 --imageIndex=0 --applicationType=TV --wallIndices=2,9
python predict.py --customImageFolder=my_images/ruler --textureImageFilename=texture_images/ruler_36.png --imageIndex=0 --applicationType=ruler --startPixel=950,444 --endPixel=1120,2220

Note that, the above script generate image sequences for video applications. Please run the following command under the image sequence folder to generate a video:

ffmpeg -r 60 -f image2 -s 640x480 -i %04d.png -vcodec libx264 -crf 25 -pix_fmt yuv420p video.mp4

To check out the pool ball application, please run the following commands.

python predict.py --customImageFolder=my_images/pool --imageIndex=0 --applicationType=pool --estimateFocalLength=False
cd pool
python pool.py
