Self-supervised Deep Depth Denoising

About this repo

This repo includes the training and evaluation scripts for the fully convolutional autoencoder presented in our paper "Self-Supervised Deep Depth Denoising" (to appear in ICCV 2019). The autoencoder is trained in a self-supervised manner, exploiting RGB-D data captured by Intel RealSense D415 sensors. During inference, the model is used for depthmap denoising, without the need of RGB data.

Installation

The code has been tested with the following setup:

• Pytorch 1.0.1
• Python 3.7.2
• CUDA 9.1
• Visdom

Model Architecture

Encoder: 9 CONV layers, input is downsampled 3 times prior to the latent space, number of channels doubled after each downsampling.

Bottleneck: 2 residual blocks, ELU-CONV-ELU-CONV structure, pre-activation.

Decoder: 9 CONV layers, input is upsampled 3 times using interpolation followed by a CONV layer.

Train

To see the available training parameters:

python train.py -h

Training example:

python train.py --batchsize 2 --epochs 20 --lr 0.00002 --visdom --visdom_iters 500 --disp_iters 10 --train_path /path/to/train/set

Inference

The weights of pretrained models can be downloaded from here:

• ddd --> trained with multi-view supervision (as presented in the paper):
• ddd_ae --> same model architecture, no multi-view supervision (for comparison purposes)

To denoise a RealSense D415 depth sample using a pretrained model:

python inference.py --model_path /path/to/pretrained/model --input_path /path/to/noisy/sample --output_path /path/to/save/denoised/sample

In order to save the input (noisy) and the output (denoised) samples as pointclouds add the following flag to the inference script execution:

--pointclouds True

To denoise a sample using the pretrained autoencoder (same model trained without splatting) add the following flag to the inference script (and make sure you load the "ddd_ae" model):

--autoencoder True

Benchmarking: the mean inference time on a GeForce GTX 1080 GPU is 11ms.
