Code in MEL to generate a database of deformable objects in Maya

MEL-database

This is the code used to generate a synthetic dataset of deformable objects for our paper Active garment recognition and target grasping point detection using deep learning. For this, you will need a pointcloud file of the clothing classes you are interested in. The script Save_Images_and_point_info_from_jeans.mel will help you to generate both depth images of the clothing and save the relevant information of each sample in a csv file. The scripts Prepare_environment_to_save_jeans_info.mel and Prepare_environment_to_save_jeans_and_take_depth_images.mel should be helpful to setup the environment to capture depth images and physical properties of your clothing.

The scripts Save_depth_images_from_two_garments_one_over_the_other.mel and Save_depth_images_from_two_garments_in_the_same_grasping_point.mel involve more challenging views with more than two garments grasped.
