Lepard: Learning Partial point cloud matching in Rigid and Deformable scenes

Lepard: Learning Partial point cloud matching in Rigid and Deformable scenes [Paper]

Method overview

4DMatch Benchmark

4DMatch is a benchmark for matching and registration of partial point clouds with time-varying geometry. It is constructed using randomly selected 1761 sequences from DeformingThings4D. Below shows point cloud pairs with different overlap ratios.

Installation

We tested the code on python 3.8.10; Pytroch version '1.7.1' or '1.9.0+cu111'; GPU model GeForce RTX-2080 or Nvidia A100.

conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate lepard
cd cpp_wrappers; sh compile_wrappers.sh; cd ..

Download data and pretrained model

• 4DMatch/4DLoMatch benchmark: train/val/test split (15.6GB).

• 3DMatch/3DLoMatch benchmark (from the Predator paper): train/val/test split (4.8GB).

• Pretrained model: 4DMatch & 3DMatch (500M).

Train and evaluation on 4DMatch

Download and extract the 4DMatch split to your custom folder. Then update the data_root in configs/train/4dmatch.yaml and configs/test/4dmatch.yaml

• Evaluate pre-trained

python main.py configs/test/4dmatch.yaml

(To switch between 4DMatch and 4DLoMatch benchmark, modify the split configuration in configs/test/4dmatch.yaml)

• Train from scratch

python main.py configs/train/4dmatch.yaml

Train and evaluation on 3DMatch

Download and extract the 3DMatch split to your custom folder. Then update the data_root in configs/train/3dmatch.yaml and configs/test/3dmatch.yaml

• Evaluate pre-trained

python main.py configs/test/3dmatch.yaml

(To switch between 3DMatch and 3DLoMatch benchmark, modify the split configuration in configs/test/3dmatch.yaml)

• Train from scratch

python main.py configs/train/3dmatch.yaml
