This repository contains the source code of the paper Choy et al., 3D-R2N2: A Unified Approach for Single and Multi-view 3D Object Reconstruction, ECCV 2016. Given one or multiple views of an object, the network generates voxelized (voxel is 3D equivalent of pixel) reconstruction of the object in 3D.

Traditionally, single view reconstruction and multi view reconstruction are disjoint problmes that has been dealt using different approaches. In this work, we first propose a unified framework for both single and multi view reconstruction using a 3D Recurrent Reconstruction Neural Network
(3D-R2N2).

We can feed in images a random order since the network is trained to be invariant to the order. The ciritical component that enables the network to be invariant to the order is the 3D-Convolutional LSTM
which we first proposed in this work. The 3D-Convolutional LSTM
selectively updates parts that are visible and keeps the parts that are self occluded (please refer to http://cvgl.stanford.edu/3d-r2n2/ for the supplementary material for analysis).
We used two different types of networks for the experiments: a shallow network (top) and a deep residual network (bottom).
We used ShapeNet models to generated rendered images and voxelized models which are available below (you can follow the installation instruction below to extract it on the default directory).
