Level-S2fM: Structure from Motion on Neural Level Set of Implicit Surfaces

Yuxi Xiao, Nan Xue, Tianfu Wu, Gui-Song Xia

IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR2023)

TL;DR:

Level-S2fM presents an incremental neural Structure from Motion(SfM) pipeline based on the neural level-sets representation. It leverages the 2D image matches and neural rendering to drive the joint optimization of Camera Poses, SDF and Radiance Fields.

Set up a conda environment, and install CUDA Extension:

# create the environment from the yaml
conda env create -f env.yaml
conda activate levels2fm

Install vren from the ngp_pl

  • Clone ngp_pl by

    git clone https://github.com/kwea123/ngp_pl

  • get into the directory of ngp_pl

  • install the cuda extension

    pip install models/csrc

Prepare Data

In our default setting, Level-S2 fM depends on the 2D image Matches by SIFT. To leverage existing solutions and avoid redundancy, we directly uses the SIFT matches and pose graph from COLMAP. We provide our processed data in Google Drive. Please download and unzip them into the folder ./data for runing.

Reconstruction with Level-S2fM

Running Default Version

In our default version, our Level-S2 fM uses the SDF-based Triangulation and Neural Bundle Adjustment, where the SDF plays as a top-down regularization to manage the sparse pointset with feature track and filter the outliers.

python train.py --group=<group_name_exp> --pipeline=LevelS2fM --yaml=<config file> --name=<exp_name> --data.dataset=<dataset> --data.scene=<scene_name>   --sfm_mode=full --Ablate_config.dual_field=true

Running with Some Ablations

Trying our Level-S2 fM with the traditional triangulation:

python train.py --group=<group_name_exp> --pipeline=LevelS2fM --yaml=<config file> --name=<exp_name> --data.dataset=<dataset> --data.scene=<scene_name>   --sfm_mode=full --Ablate_config.dual_field=true --Ablate_config.tri_trad=true

Trying our Level-S2 fM with the traditional Bundle Adjustment:

python train.py --group=<group_name_exp> --pipeline=LevelS2fM --yaml=<config file> --name=<exp_name> --data.dataset=<dataset> --data.scene=<scene_name>   --sfm_mode=full --Ablate_config.dual_field=true --Ablate_config.tri_trad=true --Ablate_config.ba_trad=true

Running with provided Scripts

cd into ./scripts, and run the script file like:

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=<GPU> sh train_ETH3D.sh

Comments

Our Level-S2fM provides a new perspective to revisit the traditional sparse 3D reconstruction (SfM) with Neural Field Representation and Neural Rendering. This work may contribute to let you see the capability of a simple coordinate MLP in SfM. However, It's not going to be very mature system yet like COLMAP, and we are continuing to refine it in the future.
