We propose a method for converting a single RGB-D input image into a 3D photo, i.e., a multi-layer representation for novel view synthesis that contains hallucinated color and depth structures in regions occluded in the original view. We use a Layered Depth Image with explicit pixel connectivity as underlying representation, and present a learning-based inpainting model that iteratively synthesizes new local color-and-depth content into the occluded region in a spatial context-aware manner. The resulting 3D photos can be efficiently rendered with motion parallax using standard graphics engines. We validate the effectiveness of our method on a wide range of challenging everyday scenes and show fewer artifacts when compared with the state-of-the-arts.

Prerequisites

Anaconda3

You can follow a video tutorial here if it's more convenient for you.

To get started, please run the following steps:
Clone this page
Clone this page

Unzip, drag and drop it here, follow the below folder structure(change the file names too):
```
📂3d-photo-inpainting/
├── 📂BoostingMonocularDepth/ <--
│...
```

Change your Anaconda directory to that folder with cd YOUR_FILE_DIRECTORY/3d-photo-inpainting/

Next, follow these installation steps under Anaconda Prompt:

conda create -n 3DP python=3.7
conda activate 3DP

For any other GPU that's < RTX 30 series:

conda install pytorch==1.5.0 torchvision==0.6.0 cudatoolkit=10.2 -c pytorch

For any RTX 30 series:

conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio cudatoolkit=11.1 -c pytorch -c conda-forge

Continue:

pip install decorator
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install pyyaml
pip install cython
pip install pyqt5

If you cannot install Cython, cynetworkx successfully, please install VS C++ Toolkit. Tutorial here.

Next, please download the following models & weights and put them in the right file directory (from my backup IceDrive):

│   ├── 📜depth-model.pth

Quick start

Please follow the instructions in this section. This should allow to execute our results. For more detailed instructions, please refer to DOCUMENTATION.md.

Execute

Put .jpg files (e.g., test.jpg) into the image folder. Don't use any space in the image name (eg. "image 1.jpg" would not work)
- E.g., image/moon.jpg
Run the following command
```
python main.py --config argument.yml
```
- Note: The 3D photo generation process usually takes about 2-3 minutes depending on the available computing resources.
The results are stored in the following directories:
- Corresponding depth map estimated by MiDaS
  - E.g. depth/moon.npy, depth/moon.png
  - User could edit depth/moon.png manually.
    - Remember to set the following two flags as listed below if user wants to use manually edited depth/moon.png as input for 3D Photo.
      - depth_format: '.png'
      - require_midas: False
- Inpainted 3D mesh (Optional: User need to switch on the flag save_ply)
  - E.g. mesh/moon.ply
- Rendered videos with zoom-in motion
  - E.g. video/moon_zoom-in.mp4
- Rendered videos with swing motion
  - E.g. video/moon_swing.mp4
- Rendered videos with circle motion
  - E.g. video/moon_circle.mp4
- Rendered videos with dolly zoom-in effect
  - E.g. video/moon_dolly-zoom-in.mp4
  - Note: We assume that the object of focus is located at the center of the image.
(Optional) If you want to change the default configuration. Please read DOCUMENTATION.md and modified argument.yml.
