Cost Volume Pyramid Based Depth Inference for Multi-View Stereo

CVP-MVSNet (CVPR 2020 Oral) is a cost volume pyramid based depth inference framework for Multi-View Stereo.

CVP-MVSNet is compact, lightweight, fast in runtime and can handle high resolution images to obtain high quality depth map for 3D reconstruction.

How to use

0. Pre-requisites

• Nvidia GPU with 11GB or more vRam.
• CUDA 10.1
• python3.6
• python2.7 for fusion script

1. Clone the source code

git clone https://github.com/JiayuYANG/CVP-MVSNet.git

2. Download testing dataset

Testing data(2G):

Download our pre-processed DTU testing data from here and extract it to CVP_MVSNet/dataset/dtu-test-1200.

3. Install requirements

cd CVP_MVSNet

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

4. Generate depth map using our pre-trained model

sh eval.sh

When finished, you can find depth maps in outputs_pretrained folder.

5. Generate point clouds and reproduce DTU results

Check out Yao Yao's modified version of fusibile

git clone https://github.com/YoYo000/fusibile

Install fusibile by cmake . and make, which will generate the executable atFUSIBILE_EXE_PATH

Link fusibile executable into fusion folder (Note: You should modify FUSIBILE_EXE_PATH to the path to your fusibile executable)

ln -s FUSIBILE_EXE_PATH CVP_MVSNet/fusion/fusibile

Install extra dependencies

pip2 install -r CVP_MVSNet/fusion/requirements_fusion.txt

Use provided script to use fusibile to generate point clouds.

cd CVP_MVSNet/fusion/

sh fusion.sh

Use provided script to move generated point clouds into outputs_pretrained/dtu_eval folder

python2 fusibile_to_dtu_eval.py

Evaluate the point clouds using the DTU evaluation code.

The results should be like:

6. Train your own model

Download training dataset from here and extract it to CVP-MVSNet/datasets/dtu-train-128.

Modify training parameters in train.sh script.

Start training

sh train.sh
