3. Inference Documentation

Inference Setup

• Please download the weights of the SparsePlanes model as per their documentation and save the weights under PlaneFormers/models
• Download our pre-trained model weights and save it under the PlaneFormers/models directory

Running Inference

• To generate predictions for an arbitrary scene, please run the following command to generate a pickle file containing PlaneFormer predictions:

python run.py --output <output file name> --imgs img1_path img2_path ... imgN_path

Visualizing Results

• Our current visualization code requires a different environment than that needed for the PlaneFormers model. Please install the entire SparsePlanes environment as a separate environment in conda as per their documentation to support visualization of our output.
• Run the following code to visualize plane correspondences and mesh objects for PlaneFormer predictions:

conda activate sparseplane
python viz.py --pred-file <output file name from inference step> --output-dir <directory to save visualizations>
