UniMVSNet

UniMVSNet is a learning-based multi-view stereo model, which has a unified depth representation to not only achieve sub-pixel depth estimation but also constrain the cost volume directly. To excavate the potential of our novel representation, we designed a Unified Focal Loss to combat the challenge of sample imbalance more reasonably and uniformly. Details are described in our paper:

CVPR 2022 (arxiv)

UniMVSNet is more robust on the challenge regions and can generate more accurate depth maps. The point cloud is more complete and the details are finer.

If there are any errors in our code, please feel free to ask your questions.

⚙ Setup

1. Recommended environment

  • PyTorch 1.2
  • Python 3.6

2. DTU Dataset

Training Data. We adopt the full resolution ground-truth depth provided in CasMVSNet or MVSNet. Download DTU training data and Depth raw. Unzip them and put the Depth_raw to dtu_training folder. The structure is just like:

dtu_training                          
       ├── Cameras                
       ├── Depths   
       ├── Depths_raw
       └── Rectified

Testing Data. Download DTU testing data and unzip it. The structure is just like:

dtu_testing                          
       ├── Cameras                
       ├── scan1   
       ├── scan2
       ├── ...

3. BlendedMVS Dataset

Training Data and Validation Data. Download BlendedMVS and unzip it. And we only adopt BlendedMVS for finetuning and not testing on it. The structure is just like:

blendedmvs                          
       ├── 5a0271884e62597cdee0d0eb                
       ├── 5a3ca9cb270f0e3f14d0eddb   
       ├── ...
       ├── training_list.txt
       ├── ...

4. Tanks and Temples Dataset

Testing Data. Download Tanks and Temples and unzip it. Here, we adopt the camera parameters of short depth range version (Included in your download), therefore, you should replace the cams folder in intermediate folder with the short depth range version manually. The structure is just like:

tanksandtemples                          
       ├── advanced                 
       │   ├── Auditorium       
       │   ├── ...  
       └── intermediate
           ├── Family       
           ├── ...          

📊 Testing

1. Download models

Download our pretrained model and put it to <your model path>.

Pre-trained Train Ndepth Train View Test Ndepth Test View Performance
unimvsnet_dtu 48-32-8 5 48-32-8 5 DTU↓ 0.315
unimvsnet_blendedmvs 48-32-8 7 64-32-8 11 Intermediate↑ 64.36
Advanced↑ 38.96

Note: unimvsnet_blendedmvs is the model trained on DTU and then finetuned on BlendedMVS, and we only used it to test on Tanks dataset. More details can be found in our paper.

2. DTU testing

Fusibile installation. Since we adopt Gipuma to filter and fuse the point on DTU dataset, you need to install Fusibile first. Download fusible to <your fusibile path> and execute the following commands:

cd <your fusibile path>
cmake .
make

If nothing goes wrong, you will get an executable named fusable. And most of the errors are caused by mismatched GPU computing power.

Point generation. To recreate the results from our paper, you need to specify the datapath to <your dtu_testing path>, outdir to <your output save path>, resume to <your model path>, and fusibile_exe_path to <your fusibile path>/fusibile in shell file ./script/dtu_test.sh first and then run:

bash ./scripts/dtu_test.sh

Note that we use the unimvsnet_dtu checkpoint when testing on DTU.

Point testing. You need to move the point clouds generated under each scene into a folder dtu_points. Meanwhile, you need to rename the point cloud in the mvsnet001_l3.ply format (the middle three digits represent the number of scene). Then specify the dataPath, plyPath and resultsPath in ./dtu_eval/BaseEvalMain_web.m and ./dtu_eval/ComputeStat_web.m. Finally, run file ./dtu_eval/BaseEvalMain_web.m through matlab software to evaluate DTU point scene by scene first, then execute file ./dtu_eval/BaseEvalMain_web.m to get the average metrics for the entire dataset.

3. Tanks and Temples testing

Point generation. Similarly, you need specify the datapath, outdir and resume in shell file ./scripts/tank_test.sh, and then run:

bash ./scripts/tank_test.sh

Note that we use the unimvsnet_blendedmvs checkpoint when testing on Tanks and Temples.

Point testing. You need to upload the generated points to Tanks and Temples benchmark, and it will return test results within a few hours.

We adopt dynamic geometric consistency checking strategies to filter and fuse Tanks point clouds. Meanwhile, we consider the photometric constrains of all stages like VisMVSNet. The configuration of scenes in ./fiter/tank_test_config.py is the closest we get to reproducing our baseline.

Model Test View Mean↑ Fam.↑ Fra.↑ Hor.↑ Lig.↑ M60↑ Pan.↑ Pla.↑ Train↑
CasMVSNet 7 56.41 76.58 60.14 47.26 57.94 56.68 51.23 52.28 49.17
11 55.96 75.44 59.57 43.45 59.07 57.03 52.23 52.15 48.71

📦 DTU points

You can download our precomputed DTU point clouds from the following link:

Points Confidence Threshold Consistent View Accuracy↓ Completeness↓ Overall↓
dtu_points 0.3 3 0.352 0.278 0.315

🖼 Visualization

To visualize the depth map in pfm format, run:

python main.py --vis --depth_path <your depth path> --depth_img_save_dir <your depth image save directory>

The visualized depth map will be saved as <your depth image save directory>/depth.png. For visualization of point clouds, some existing software such as MeshLab can be used.

⏳ Training

1. DTU training

To train the model from scratch on DTU, specify the datapath and log_dir in ./scripts/dtu_train.sh first and then run:

bash ./scripts/dtu_train.sh

By default, we employ the DistributedDataParallel mode to train our model, you can also train your model in a single GPU.

2. BlendedMVS fine-tuning

To fine-tune the model on BlendedMVS, you need specify datapath, log_dir and resume in ./scripts/blendedmvs_finetune.sh first, then run:

bash ./scripts/blendedmvs_finetune.sh

Actually, you can train the model on BlendedMVS from scratch just like some other methods through removing the command resume.
