Download code

git clone https://github.com/hassony2/obman

cd obman

Load samples

python readataset --root /path/to/obman --shapenet_root /path/to/ShapeNetCore.v2 --split test --viz

Options you might be interested in --segment which keeps only the foreground --mini_factor 0.01 to load only 1% of the data (to speed-up loading)

Preprocess shapenet objects for training

Sample points on the external surface of the object:

python shapenet_samplepoints.py

Visualizations

Hand object and mesh in camera coordinates

Projected in pixel space

Hand vertices in blue, object vertices in red.
