Perception Driven Texture Generation
This paper investigates a novel task of generating texture images from
perceptual descriptions. Previous work on texture generation focused on either
synthesis from examples or generation from procedural models. Generating
textures from perceptual attributes have not been well studied yet. Meanwhile,
perceptual attributes, such as directionality, regularity and roughness are
important factors for human observers to describe a texture. In this paper, we
propose a joint deep network model that combines adversarial training and
perceptual feature regression for texture generation, while only random noise
and user-defined perceptual attributes are required as input. In this model, a
preliminary trained convolutional neural network is essentially integrated with
the adversarial framework, which can drive the generated textures to possess
given perceptual attributes. An important aspect of the proposed model is that,
if we change one of the input perceptual features, the corresponding appearance
of the generated textures will also be changed. We design several experiments
to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results show that the
proposed method can produce high quality texture images with desired perceptual
properties.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, icme201
Learning Material-Aware Local Descriptors for 3D Shapes
Material understanding is critical for design, geometric modeling, and
analysis of functional objects. We enable material-aware 3D shape analysis by
employing a projective convolutional neural network architecture to learn
material- aware descriptors from view-based representations of 3D points for
point-wise material classification or material- aware retrieval. Unfortunately,
only a small fraction of shapes in 3D repositories are labeled with physical
mate- rials, posing a challenge for learning methods. To address this
challenge, we crowdsource a dataset of 3080 3D shapes with part-wise material
labels. We focus on furniture models which exhibit interesting structure and
material variabil- ity. In addition, we also contribute a high-quality expert-
labeled benchmark of 115 shapes from Herman-Miller and IKEA for evaluation. We
further apply a mesh-aware con- ditional random field, which incorporates
rotational and reflective symmetries, to smooth our local material predic-
tions across neighboring surface patches. We demonstrate the effectiveness of
our learned descriptors for automatic texturing, material-aware retrieval, and
physical simulation. The dataset and code will be publicly available.Comment: 3DV 201
