Visual Enhanced 3D Point Cloud Reconstruction from A Single Image
share
Solving the challenging problem of 3D object reconstruction from a single image appropriately gives existing technologies the ability to perform with a single monocular camera rather than requiring depth sensors. In recent years, thanks to the development of deep learning, 3D reconstruction of a single image has demonstrated impressive progress. Existing researches use Chamfer distance as a loss function to guide the training of the neural network. However, the Chamfer loss will give equal weights to all points inside the 3D point clouds. It tends to sacrifice fine-grained and thin structures to avoid incurring a high loss, which will lead to visually unsatisfactory results. This paper proposes a framework that can recover a detailed three-dimensional point cloud from a single image by focusing more on boundaries (edge and corner points). Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms existing techniques significantly, both qualitatively and quantitatively, and has fewer training parameters.
