In this project, we present a novel neural network layer that performs differentiable rasterization of arbitrary simplex-mesh-based geometrical signals (e.g., point clouds, line mesh, triangular mesh, tetrahedron mesh, polygon and polyhedron) of arbitrary dimensions. We further provide examples of incorporating the DDSL into neural networks for tasks such as polygonal image segmentation and neural shape optimization (for MNIST digits and airfoils).
Our deep learning code base is written using PyTorch 1.0 in Python 3, in conjunction with standard Python packages such as Numpy. PyTorch version > 1.0 is required.
We provide an efficient natively PyTorch-based implementation of the DDSL. Detailed documentation for APIs can be found in ddsl/ddsl.py. For examples on using the DDSL implementation for rasterizing a given input mesh, refer to the jupyter notebooks in the folder examples.
To replicate the experiments in our paper, please refer to codes in the experiments folder. Detailed instructions for each experiment can be found in the corresponding directories.
This code base contains code for the two projects below. The DDSL layer is a differentiable version for the one outlined in the ealier paper.
