Can we only calculate the mesh input?

[chenhbo]

Thanks for your nice work!

For the custom dataset, we only have the output mesh .ply file.
Can we use this work to evaluate it?

Thx

@chenhbo The short answer is no.

For this metric to work. It need both the 3D model file together with estimated camera trajectory and original images (for this implementation, RGB-D data are required).

Can you explain how you get the mesh without the original image sequence?

Thank you so much for for your reply.

Our original input is the 3D point cloud. Our target is reconstruct the mesh from point cloud.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I see. For this, I would suggest using CloudCompare to check point to mesh distance

Thank you for your suggestion.
