• Clone this repo:

• Relies on PyTorch version 1.7.1
  
• Pytorch Geometric
• Everything can be installed via conda environment conda env create -f env.yml (creates an environment called self-sample)

The demos folder contains examples from the paper.
For each shape the demo runs the optimization and inference parts.
For instance, to run the lamp demo simply execute from the root project folder:

demos/lamp.sh

The results would be found at demos-results/lamp/lamp_result.xyz,
and respectively for the other shapes as well.

• alien, anchor, lamp - sharp point consolidation
• candle, scanned Leg, tiki - sparse point consolidation
• camera_noised - denoising

Note: the original implementation used this implementation of PointNet++, which is not guaranteed to supported newer versions of pytorch.
This implementation uses Pytorch Geometric instead, which can not hold large subsets at train time.

Therefore, demos are designed for subset sizes lower than used in the paper. Increasing the subset size to 12K-14K on an appropriate GPU, improves the accuracy of the results.
