Moritz edited this page Aug 18, 2019 · 10 revisions

Features

  • Loads and renders different subsets of point clouds
  • View the point cloud in different modes
    • Splats: high quality splat rendering of the whole point cloud
    • Points: high quality point rendering of the whole point cloud
  • Compare to a sparse subset of the point cloud with a different sampling rate
  • HDF5 dataset generation containing color, normal and depth images of the point cloud
  • Blending the colors of overlapping splats
  • Phong Lighting

HDF5 Dataset Generation

  • Edit the rendering and HDF5 parameters in the settings file
    • stepSize influences the amount of viewing angles (0.2 results in ~1000 angles)
    • theta and phi min/max values define the subset of the sphere to be sweeped
  • Restart the engine with the ground truth renderer
  • Select the density of the sparse point cloud
  • Configure the rendering parameters for the splat and sparse splat view modes
  • Move the camera to the desired distance from the center of the point cloud
  • Press [F8] to start the generation process
  • The file will be stored in the HDF5 directory
