Reversing Engineering using Deep Learning on CAD Models

Implementation of the final project for the IMPA course Design and Implementation of 3D Graphics Systems 2020

In this work, we propose to address the problem of reverse engineering on CAD models. The main goal is to use mesh segmentation using deep learning to extract common geometries on such models.

Methodology Overview

For a more detailed overview of this work please visit the page of this repository!

Setup

First of all, we assume you current directory in the terminal is src.

There are 4 main modules:

  • dataset_generator.py generate the dataset to train the model from the scratch
  • mesh2tfrecord.py read a mesh (in a format supported by the trimesh library) and convert to tfrecord
  • test.py load a tfrecord and execute the model for the mesh segmentation
  • trainning.py trains the model if the setup is ready.

There is also some folders that the code assume to exist to work.

  • model/reverse_eng_model this is where the weights of the trainning are stored. It is required to run test.py and tranning.py creates it if it does no exist.
  • dataset contains some folders which trainning.py and dataset_generator.py read and write.

Installation

Install project dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

Note: Some people reported problems to install tensor_graphics because of the openexrpython dependency. If you (also) experience this, try to download the source (https://github.com/jamesbowman/openexrpython) and follow the instructions there to manually install it.

Running a simple segmentation

Run a segmentation for an input tfrecord file.

python test.py <input.tfrecord>

The module will apply the segmentation and then show it in a window.

Note: It will merge all examples of the files in a single mesh.

Convert a mesh to tfrecord

If you would like to convert a polygon mesh in a standard format (ply, obj, gltf, ... any format that trimesh supports) run:

python test.py <input_file>

It will split the geometry in parts and generate a tfrecord dataset. Therefore you can run test.py.

Dataset generation

For the dataset generator works, the dataset folder must have a structured directory:

dataset/
dataset/_datasets/
dataset/_labels/
dataset/_labels/boxes
dataset/_labels/cones
dataset/_labels/cylinders
dataset/_labels/torus

The _datasets is destination folder for the datasets to be generated. For instance, it creates tfrecord with format tests_<NUM_TESTS>.tfrecord and train_<NUM_TRAIN>.tfrecord . See dataset_generator.py to adjust the parameters <NUM_TESTS> and NUM_TRAIN, which are hardcoded.

The folders inside _labels contains indiviual files for each geometry sample. They can in be any standard format for meshes (again, supported by trimesh). To balance the dataset look functions generate_dataset and draw_geometry in dataset_generator.py. The count for each geometry type is hardcoded.

Then just run:

python dataset_generator.py

Trainning

Finally, for the trainning, the module look for the datasets in the _datasets (see previous section). It will read tfrecord datasets with pattern train_*.tfrecord and tests_*.tfrecord for trainning and testing respectively.

Note: The patterns implies that it can read more than one file for each type of dataset.

Start the trainning running:

python trainning.py
