Description

This is a tool for processing scan data captured with an iPhone / iPad in the context of mapping buildings. The goal is to segment and label objects in the point cloud and reconstruct a simplified 3D model on a room-by-room detail scale.

Build instructions:

Clone repository recursively:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/linkarkitektur/linkml_cpp
# --recursive is used to clone submodules in (extern)

Install dependencies: OpenCV and PCL have been compiled from source and are not included but need to be installed separately.

Dependencies:

• PCL (Manually compiled with CUDA support)
• OpenCV (Manually compiled with CUDA support)
• CGAL
  • Eigen3 (Required by CGAL and Markov Clustering)
  • TBB (Threading Building Blocks for GGAL parralelization)
  • SCIP (Fallback LIP solver in CGAL)
  • Gurobi (Commercial, but free for academic use)
• Embree
• HDF5 (Currently not used, but included in the project)

Generally, it would_ be great to have all dependencies self-contained in the project in the extern folder as submodules.

OpenCV

Open CV needs to be compiled with CUDA support for inference on the GPU. The branch needs to be 4.x and commit 0c6fc763f4 has been confirmed to work.

Dependencies:
- CUDA
- cuda-toolkit ([Instructions](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads))
- cuDNN (8.9.7) ([Arechive](https://developer.nvidia.com/rdp/cudnn-archive))

*There were probably more dependencies, but I don't remember them. Let's extend the list when we get there*

**Note**: Nvidia's instruction installs the [current](https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn-downloads) cuDNN version, which is (9.0.0). This does **not** seem compatible with [OpenCV](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/24983). Here are the archives for [cuDNN 8.9.7](https://developer.nvidia.com/rdp/cudnn-archive)

```shell
mkdir opencv && cd opencv

git clone git@github.com:opencv/opencv_contrib.git
got clone git@github.com:opencv/opencv.git
cd opencv

mkdir build && cd build

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -D OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=../../opencv_contrib/modules -D WITH_CUDA=ON ..

make -j48 #Number of cores

sudo make install

# Most of the flags below show be enable by using -D WITH_CUDA=ON

#cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -D OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=../../opencv_contrib/modules -D WITH_CUDA=ON -D WITH_CUDNN=ON -D CUDA_FAST_MATH=1 -D ENABLE_FAST_MATH=1 -D WITH_GTK=ON -D WITH_TBB=ON -D WITH_FFMPEG=ON -D INSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=OFF  -D OPENCV_DNN_CUDA=ON -D CUDA_GENERATION=Auto -D CUDA_FAST_MATH=ON  -D WITH_NVCUVID=OFF -D WITH_NVCUVENC=OFF  ..

PCL

Maybe we don't need the new version of PCL, but I compiled it from source while looking for some features (CUDA acceleration) that I didn't end up using.

Again, not sure what all the dependencies are, but those are the ones that are listed online.

Dependencies:

• Boost (also required by GCAL)
• Eigen (also required by CGAL)
• Flann
• VTK
• QHull
• OpenNI
• OpenNI2
• CUDA

Official Instructions here.

git clone git@github.com:PointCloudLibrary/pcl.git
cd pcl
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..

# I'm not sure if there were any other flags, but I think I used the defaults.
# Otherwise let's add them here.

Export Yolo v8.1 model

from ultralytics import YOLO

model = YOLO('yolov8x-seg.pt') 
model.export(format="onnx", simplify=True)

Debugging

I have found a way in VSCode where I can launch a Python process and attach a debugger to it and then gdb to the C++ process. Alternatively, now that the data loading is also part of the C++ code, we could also just call it a regular CLI application.

launch.json with the Python C++ Debugger pluging.

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "My (gdb) Attach",
            "type": "cppdbg",
            "request": "attach",
            "processId": "",
            "setupCommands": [
                {
                    "description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
                    "text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
                    "ignoreFailures": false
                },
                {
                    "description": "Set Disassembly Flavor to Intel",
                    "text": "-gdb-set disassembly-flavor intel",
                    "ignoreFailures": true
                }
            ]
        },
    ]
}

Example

from linkml_py import *

dataset = Dataset("path_to_folder")
parse_dataset(dataset, "./out_put_folder/", step=5)

# Load all the frames into a collection of point clouds. 
clouds = PointCloudsOnDisk("./out_put_folder/")

# Annotate the frames, and use the dataset to provide access to the full-resolution images.
clouds.annotate("./yolov8x-seg.onnx", dataset)

# Register the individual frames to eachother
clouds.register()

# Merge and downsample the cloud
cloud = clouds.filter().merge().downsample(0.02)

# Cluster the semantic annotations into instances
cloud.clustering().save("path_for_saving.pcd")

# Create a solid model
cloud.solidify()

# Display the point cloud
cloud..display()
