Reconstructing Development Mules

This project tries to synthesize color and depth images with Blender that have a similarity with pictures of development mules. Therefore, a process gets defined and implemented in Python with the Blender Python API. Additionally, the generated images get tested on conventional approaches such like Agisoft's Metashape and Meshroom implement it, as well as on SGDepth, a deep monocular approach.

Note: A more detailed writeup can be found in the Report.

Executing the provided scripts

synthesize_images.py

All scripts that are using the bpy package have to be run with Blender, as the following code snippet shows.

blender Blends/default-synthesis.blend -b -P Scripts/synthesize_images -- -o Renders/default-scene/ -n 500

Note: You may have to install the additional packages (numpy, bpycv) into the Blender Python environment. pip install --target /opt/blender-2.93.0-fc08fe82ae5d-linux64/2.93/python/lib/python3.9 numpy bpycv

`render-demo-scene.py

blender Blends/demo-scene.blend -b -P render-demo-scene.py -- -o Renders/demo-scene/

plot_depth_instance_for_presentation.py

python Scripts/plot_depth_instance_for_presentation.py -i Renders/demo-scene/ -o Renders/demo-scene/presentation/ --combined True
