NeuS

We present a novel neural surface reconstruction method, called NeuS (pronunciation: /nuːz/, same as "news"), for reconstructing objects and scenes with high fidelity from 2D image inputs.

This is the official repo for the implementation of NeuS: Learning Neural Implicit Surfaces by Volume Rendering for Multi-view Reconstruction.

Usage

Data Convention

The data is organized as follows:

<case_name>
|-- cameras_xxx.npz    # camera parameters
|-- image
    |-- 000.png        # target image for each view
    |-- 001.png
    ...
|-- mask
    |-- 000.png        # target mask each view (For unmasked setting, set all pixels as 255)
    |-- 001.png
    ...

Here the cameras_xxx.npz follows the data format in IDR, where world_mat_xx denotes the world to image projection matrix, and scale_mat_xx denotes the normalization matrix.

Setup

Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/Totoro97/NeuS.git
cd NeuS
pip install -r requirements.txt

Dependencies (click to expand)

• torch==1.8.0
• opencv_python==4.5.2.52
• trimesh==3.9.8
• numpy==1.19.2
• pyhocon==0.3.57
• icecream==2.1.0

Running

Dataset types available: dtu, blender.

• Training without mask

python exp_runner.py --mode train --conf ./confs/womask.conf --dataset_type <dataset_type> --case <case_name>

• Training with mask

python exp_runner.py --mode train --conf ./confs/wmask.conf --dataset_type <dataset_type> --case <case_name>

• Extract surface from trained model

python exp_runner.py --mode validate_mesh --conf <config_file> --case <case_name> --from_latest # use latest checkpoint

The corresponding mesh can be found in exp/<case_name>/<exp_name>/meshes/<iter_steps>.ply.

• View interpolation

python exp_runner.py --mode interpolate_<img_idx_0>_<img_idx_1> --conf <config_file> --case <case_name> --from_latest # use latest checkpoint

The corresponding image set of view interpolation can be found in exp/<case_name>/<exp_name>/render/.
