Getting started

Below, we enumerate the major steps required for our method to work, and provide the links to the respective documentation and resources. To get familiar with more details of how our method works, please refer to the respective documentation pages, the source code, contact the authors via [artonson at yandex ru], or open an issue.

• System installation and configuration
• Generating synthetic training datasets
• Generating real-world training datasets
• Training point-based and image-based DEF networks
• Running inference with a pre-trained DEF network
• Running reconstruction on complete 3D models
• Running extraction of parametric curves
• Obtaining predictions made by DEF

Pre-trained models

We provide a variety of pre-trained DEF networks (both image-based and point-based). See Training networks page for downloading the respective weight files.

Training and evaluation datasets

See Synthetic data and Real-world data pages.
