ViPC: View-Guided Point Cloud Completion

PyTorch implementation of ViPC (View-Guided Point Cloud Completion)

Introduction

This work is accepted by CVPR 2021. We present a view-guided solution for the task of point cloud completion. Unlike most existing methods directly inferring the missing points using shape priors, we address this task by introducing ViPC (view-guided point cloud completion) that takes the missing crucial global structure information from an extra single-view image. Besides, we build a large-scale dataset for the point cloud completion task on the ShapeNet dataset. This dataset simulates point cloud defects caused by various kinds of occlusions.You can also check out paper for a deeper introduction.

Usage

Installation

Install PyTorch over 1.4. The code has been tested with Python 3.7, PyTorch 1.7.0 and CUDA 10.1 on Ubuntu 20.04 and GTX 1080Ti.
Note that RTX graphics card with Tensor Core may not be able to run part of the code.

Data Prepare

First, please download the ShapeNetViPC-Dataset (143GB, code: ar8l). Then run cat ShapeNetViPC-Dataset.tar.gz* | tar zx, you will get ShapeNetViPC-Dataset contains three floders: ShapeNetViPC-Partial, ShapeNetViPC-GT and ShapeNetViPC-View.

For each object, the dataset include partial point cloud (ShapeNetViPC-Patial), complete point cloud (ShapeNetViPC-GT) and corresponding images (ShapeNetViPC-View) from 24 different views. You can find the detail of 24 cameras view in /ShapeNetViPC-View/category/object_name/rendering/rendering_metadata.txt.

unzip train_test_list.zip, you will get train and test list.
Use the code in utils/dataloader.py to load the dataset.

The remaining code will be open source soon!!!
