Shape Completion using 3D-Encoder-Predictor CNNs and Shape Synthesis
We introduce a data-driven approach to complete partial 3D shapes through a
combination of volumetric deep neural networks and 3D shape synthesis. From a
partially-scanned input shape, our method first infers a low-resolution -- but
complete -- output. To this end, we introduce a 3D-Encoder-Predictor Network
(3D-EPN) which is composed of 3D convolutional layers. The network is trained
to predict and fill in missing data, and operates on an implicit surface
representation that encodes both known and unknown space. This allows us to
predict global structure in unknown areas at high accuracy. We then correlate
these intermediary results with 3D geometry from a shape database at test time.
In a final pass, we propose a patch-based 3D shape synthesis method that
imposes the 3D geometry from these retrieved shapes as constraints on the
coarsely-completed mesh. This synthesis process enables us to reconstruct
fine-scale detail and generate high-resolution output while respecting the
global mesh structure obtained by the 3D-EPN. Although our 3D-EPN outperforms
state-of-the-art completion method, the main contribution in our work lies in
the combination of a data-driven shape predictor and analytic 3D shape
synthesis. In our results, we show extensive evaluations on a newly-introduced
shape completion benchmark for both real-world and synthetic data
3D Bounding Box Estimation Using Deep Learning and Geometry
We present a method for 3D object detection and pose estimation from a single
image. In contrast to current techniques that only regress the 3D orientation
of an object, our method first regresses relatively stable 3D object properties
using a deep convolutional neural network and then combines these estimates
with geometric constraints provided by a 2D object bounding box to produce a
complete 3D bounding box. The first network output estimates the 3D object
orientation using a novel hybrid discrete-continuous loss, which significantly
outperforms the L2 loss. The second output regresses the 3D object dimensions,
which have relatively little variance compared to alternatives and can often be
predicted for many object types. These estimates, combined with the geometric
constraints on translation imposed by the 2D bounding box, enable us to recover
a stable and accurate 3D object pose. We evaluate our method on the challenging
KITTI object detection benchmark both on the official metric of 3D orientation
estimation and also on the accuracy of the obtained 3D bounding boxes. Although
conceptually simple, our method outperforms more complex and computationally
expensive approaches that leverage semantic segmentation, instance level
segmentation and flat ground priors and sub-category detection. Our
discrete-continuous loss also produces state of the art results for 3D
viewpoint estimation on the Pascal 3D+ dataset.Comment: To appear in IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern

Learning Shape Priors for Single-View 3D Completion and Reconstruction
The problem of single-view 3D shape completion or reconstruction is
challenging, because among the many possible shapes that explain an
observation, most are implausible and do not correspond to natural objects.
Recent research in the field has tackled this problem by exploiting the
expressiveness of deep convolutional networks. In fact, there is another level
of ambiguity that is often overlooked: among plausible shapes, there are still
multiple shapes that fit the 2D image equally well; i.e., the ground truth
shape is non-deterministic given a single-view input. Existing fully supervised
approaches fail to address this issue, and often produce blurry mean shapes
with smooth surfaces but no fine details.
In this paper, we propose ShapeHD, pushing the limit of single-view shape
completion and reconstruction by integrating deep generative models with
adversarially learned shape priors. The learned priors serve as a regularizer,
penalizing the model only if its output is unrealistic, not if it deviates from
the ground truth. Our design thus overcomes both levels of ambiguity
aforementioned. Experiments demonstrate that ShapeHD outperforms state of the
art by a large margin in both shape completion and shape reconstruction on
multiple real datasets.Comment: ECCV 2018. The first two authors contributed equally to this work.

ShapeCodes: Self-Supervised Feature Learning by Lifting Views to Viewgrids
We introduce an unsupervised feature learning approach that embeds 3D shape
information into a single-view image representation. The main idea is a
self-supervised training objective that, given only a single 2D image, requires
all unseen views of the object to be predictable from learned features. We
implement this idea as an encoder-decoder convolutional neural network. The
network maps an input image of an unknown category and unknown viewpoint to a
latent space, from which a deconvolutional decoder can best "lift" the image to
its complete viewgrid showing the object from all viewing angles. Our
class-agnostic training procedure encourages the representation to capture
fundamental shape primitives and semantic regularities in a data-driven
manner---without manual semantic labels. Our results on two widely-used shape
datasets show 1) our approach successfully learns to perform "mental rotation"
even for objects unseen during training, and 2) the learned latent space is a
powerful representation for object recognition, outperforming several existing
unsupervised feature learning methods.Comment: To appear at ECCV 201
DeformNet: Free-Form Deformation Network for 3D Shape Reconstruction from a Single Image
3D reconstruction from a single image is a key problem in multiple
applications ranging from robotic manipulation to augmented reality. Prior
methods have tackled this problem through generative models which predict 3D
reconstructions as voxels or point clouds. However, these methods can be
computationally expensive and miss fine details. We introduce a new
differentiable layer for 3D data deformation and use it in DeformNet to learn a
model for 3D reconstruction-through-deformation. DeformNet takes an image
input, searches the nearest shape template from a database, and deforms the
template to match the query image. We evaluate our approach on the ShapeNet
dataset and show that - (a) the Free-Form Deformation layer is a powerful new
building block for Deep Learning models that manipulate 3D data (b) DeformNet
uses this FFD layer combined with shape retrieval for smooth and
detail-preserving 3D reconstruction of qualitatively plausible point clouds
with respect to a single query image (c) compared to other state-of-the-art 3D
reconstruction methods, DeformNet quantitatively matches or outperforms their
benchmarks by significant margins. For more information, visit:
