UKPGAN is a self-supervised 3D keypoint detector on both rigid/non-rigid objects and real scenes. Note that our keypoint detector solely depends on local features and is both translational and rotational invariant.

News

• [2022.05] Pytorch version is now supported! Try it in the branch pytorch!
• [2022.05] SHOT descriptor is now supported with Pytorch, and it is much faster than the original PerfectMatch desciptor!

Change Logs

• [2022.05.24] Upload Pytorch version of code and SHOT descriptors.

Overview

This repo is a TensorFlow implementation of our work UKPGAN.

Installation

conda env create -f environment.yml

First install Pybind11 and PCL C++ dependencies. Then run the following command to build the SDV feature extractor:

cd sdv_src
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make
cd ../..

If you want to visualize keypoint results, you will need to install open3d.

Train on ShapeNet Models

Download ShapeNet point clouds from KeypointNet and unzip pcds folder to the root.

Change the category name cat_name to what you want in config/config.yaml.

Open a separate terminal to monitor training process:

visdom -port 1080

Then run (e.g., chair):

python train.py cat_name=chair

Test on ShapeNet Models

Once trained, to evaluate the IoU with human annotations, first download KeypointNet data (you may only download the category that you wish to evaluate), then run

python eval_iou.py --kpnet_root /your/kpnet/root

To test and visualize on ShapeNet models, run:

python visualize.py --type shapenet --nms --nms_radius 0.1

Train on SMPL Models

You should register on SMPL website and download the model. We follow this repo to pre-process the model to generate model.pkl. Place model.pkl into data/model.pkl.

The following command start training on SMPL models on the fly:

python train.py cat_name=smpl symmetry_factor=0

Test on SMPL Models

To test and visualize on SMPL models, run:

python visualize.py --type smpl --nms --nms_radius 0.2 --kp_num 10

Test on Real-world Scenes

For this task, we use the model that is trained on a large collection of ShapeNet models (across 10+ categories), called universal.

You will need to download data from 3DMatch. We also provide a demo scene for visualization.

To test and visualize on 3DMatch, run:

python visualize.py --type 3dmatch --nms --nms_radius 0.05

Pretrained Models

We provide pretrained models on Google Drive.

Pytorch Version

We have now implemented the Pytorch version of UKPGAN, and can be trained with SHOT descriptors, which are much faster than the PerfectMatch descriptors!
