Synthesizing high resolution 3D shapes from lower resolution representations for synthetic data generation systems and applications

In various examples, a deep three-dimensional (3D) conditional generative model is implemented that can synthesize high resolution 3D shapes using simple guides—such as coarse voxels, point clouds, etc.—by marrying implicit and explicit 3D representations into a hybrid 3D representation. The present approach may directly optimize for the reconstructed surface, allowing for the synthesis of finer geometric details with fewer artifacts. The systems and methods described herein may use a deformable tetrahedral grid that encodes a discretized signed distance function (SDF) and a differentiable marching tetrahedral layer that converts the implicit SDF representation to an explicit surface mesh representation. This combination allows joint optimization of the surface geometry and topology as well as generation of the hierarchy of subdivisions using reconstruction and adversarial losses defined explicitly on the surface mesh.

Fast self-supervised single image to categorical 3D objects machine learning model training

Systems and methods are provided for implementing a multi-stage, ML model training process for autonomous or semi-autonomous driving. The multi-stage ML model training process comprises (1) 2D and 3D supervised losses during a synthetic data ML model training, (2) 2D supervised on real-world data, and (3) 3D self-supervised losses on real-world data. The improved ML training process may not rely on 3D object recognition with real-world 3D labeled data. Once the ML model is trained, in some examples, the trained ML model can implement an inference process to predict the 3D shape, size, and 6D pose of objects within a single image, operate at a category level, and eliminate the need for computer-aided design (CAD) models during inference.

A semi-supervised single-view 3D object reconstruction method

The present application belongs to the technical field of computer vision three-dimensional reconstruction, and specifically relates to a semi-supervised single-view 3D object reconstruction method. A small amount of labeled samples are used to train a neural network, and then the trained neural network is used to generate pseudo labels for unlabeled samples and guide the training of the unlabeled samples. At the same time, the present application proposes that a discriminator scores the quality of the generated pseudo labels, and limits the bias of low-quality pseudo labels on model training. In addition, the present application proposes a prototype shape prior module based on an attention mechanism, which serves as a bridge between images and 3D shapes, reduces the difference between the two modalities, and provides shape prior for the neural network, ensuring that the reconstructed 3D shape is natural. Compared with the current mainstream method in the industry, the present application is more accurate in three-dimensional reconstruction of a single image under the condition that the amount of labeled data is very small, and the generated 3D shape is more realistic and natural.

Object interference check method

An object interference checking technique using point sets which uses CAD models of objects and obstacles and converts the CAD models to 3D points. The 3D point locations are updated based on object motion. The 3D points are then converted to 3D grid space indices defining space occupied by any point on any object or obstacle. The 3D grid space indices are then converted to 1D indices and the 1D indices are stored as a set per object and per position. Swept volumes for an object are created by computing a union of the 1D index sets across multiple motion steps. Interference checking between objects is performed by computing an intersection of the 1D index sets for a given motion step or position. The 1D indices are converted back to 3D coordinates to define the 3D shapes of the swept volumes and interferences.

3D morphological reconstruction system based on active light shadow

The application provides a 3D shape reconstruction system based on active light and shadow, which does not depend on the texture of an object. The system controls a small point light source at the end of a mechanical arm, moves on the surface of a target object and projects clear shadows or highlights. Another fixed camera captures the dynamic changes of the light and shadow features, and through a learning model, the surface normal and depth information of the object which is invisible to both the light source and the camera are inverted. Passive observation is changed to active detection, and the dynamic light and shadow are projected by the mechanical arm to analyze the three-dimensional geometry of the textureless or highly reflective object. Without relying on the texture of the object itself, the reconstruction problem of structured light and multi-view stereo vision on textureless objects is solved. The active movement of the mechanical arm driving the point light source increases the dimension of light and shadow information from 2D to 3D, provides more abundant constraint conditions and significantly improves the inversion accuracy of the normal and depth. The double-branch deep learning model based on the attention mechanism, combined with bilateral filtering and guided filtering post-processing, improves the reconstruction accuracy.
