Our codebase has the following dependencies:
For the visualizations, we use simple-3dviz, which is our easy-to-use library for visualizing 3D data using Python and ModernGL and matplotlib for the colormaps. Note that simple-3dviz provides a lightweight and easy-to-use scene viewer using wxpython. If you wish you use our scripts for visualizing the reconstructed primitives, you will need to also install wxpython.
The simplest way to make sure that you have all dependencies in place is to use
conda. You can
create a conda environment called hierarchical_primitives using
conda env create -f environment.yaml
conda activate hierarchical_primitives
Next compile the extenstion modules. You can do this via
python setup.py build_ext --inplace
pip install -e .
As soon as you have installed all dependencies you can now start training new models from scratch, evaluate our pre-trained models and visualize the recovered primitives using one of our pre-trained models.
To visualize the predicted primitives using a trained model, we provide the
visualize_predictions.py script. In particular, it performs the forward
pass and visualizes the predicted primitives using
simple-3dviz. To execute it simply run
To run the visualize_predictions.py script you need to run
python visualize_predictions.py path_to_config_yaml path_to_output_dir --weight_file path_to_weight_file --model_tag MODEL_TAG --from_fit
where the argument --weight_file specifies the path to a trained model and
the argument --model_tag defines the model_tag of the input to be
reconstructed.
Finally, to train a new network from scratch, we provide the
train_network.py script. To execute this script, you need to specify the
path to the configuration file you wish to use and the path to the output
directory, where the trained models and the training statistics will be saved.
Namely, to train a new model from scratch, you simply need to run
python train_network.py path_to_config_yaml path_to_output_dir
Note tha it is also possible to start from a previously trained model by
specifying the --weight_file argument, which should contain the path to a
previously trained model. Furthermore, by using the arguments --model_tag and
--category_tag, you can also train your network on a particular model (e.g.
a specific plane, car, human etc.) or a specific object category (e.g. planes,
chairs etc.).
Also make sure to update the dataset_directory argument in the provided
config file based on the path where your dataset is stored.
