Efficient and Accurate Transformer-Based 3D Shape Completion and Reconstruction of Fruits for Agricultural Robots
This repo will contain the code for the fruit completion and reconstruction method proposed in our ICRA'24 paper that you can find at this link
The main contribution of this paper is a novel approach for completing 3D shapes combining template matching with deep learning. First, we use a 3D sparse convolutional backbone to extract point-wise features. We then aggregate such features into vertex features and feed them to a transformer decoder that iteratively deforms our template. Such an architecture allows us to estimate the complete 3D shape of fruits when only a partial point cloud is available

We tested our code on a system with Ubuntu 22.04 and CUDA 11.8.For compatibility reasons, we reccomend creating a conda environement with Python 3.9:
conda create --name tcore python=3.9 && conda activate tcore
Installing python packages pre-requisites:
sudo apt install build-essential python3-dev libopenblas-dev
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Installing MinkowskiEngine:
pip3 install -U git+https://github.com/NVIDIA/MinkowskiEngine -v --no-deps
NB: At the moment, MinkowskiEngine is not comaptible with python 3.10+, see this issue
Install Pytorch3D:
pip3 install "git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/pytorch3d.git"
To setup the code run the following command on the code root directory:
pip3 install -U -e .

Train
Run python tcore/scripts/train_model.py to train our approach, where parameters are specified in the config tcore/config/model.yaml.
You can use --model_cfg_path <path-to-cfg> to specify a different configuration file.
Test
Run python tcore/scripts/evaluate_model.py --w <path-to-checkpoint> for inference and computing metrics with the directory specified in tcore/config/model.yaml.
You can use --model_cfg_path <path-to-cfg> to specify a different configuration file.

For running the demo of our approach, we assume that you are using Ubunut 22.04 with a CUDA-capable device, but the scripts can be adapted to other platforms. We assume that you are in the root directory of the repository. We prepare a small sample dataset for testing this repo.
- Download and extract the sample data:
sh scripts/download_data.sh - Download the checkpoint of our trained model:
sh scripts/download_checkpoint.sh
These commands will download the dataset and the checkpoint in ./data/ and ./checkpoints, respectively.
- Run the inference on the data:
python tcore/scripts/demo.py --w checkpoints/pretrained_model.ckpt
