• Abstract summary: We present Farm3D, a method for learning category-specific 3D reconstructors for articulated objects. We propose a framework that uses an image generator, such as Stable Diffusion, to generate synthetic training data. Our network can be used for analysis, including monocular reconstruction, or for synthesis, generating articulated assets for real-time applications such as video games.

• Abstract: We present Farm3D, a method for learning category-specific 3D reconstructors for articulated objects, relying solely on "free" virtual supervision from a pre-trained 2D diffusion-based image generator. Recent approaches can learn a monocular network that predicts the 3D shape, albedo, illumination, and viewpoint of any object occurrence, given a collection of single-view images of an object category. However, these approaches heavily rely on manually curated clean training data, which are expensive to obtain. We propose a framework that uses an image generator, such as Stable Diffusion, to generate synthetic training data that are sufficiently clean and do not require further manual curation, enabling the learning of such a reconstruction network from scratch. Additionally, we incorporate the diffusion model as a score to enhance the learning process. The idea involves randomizing certain aspects of the reconstruction, such as viewpoint and illumination, generating virtual views of the reconstructed 3D object, and allowing the 2D network to assess the quality of the resulting image, thus providing feedback to the reconstructor. Unlike work based on distillation, which produces a single 3D asset for each textual prompt, our approach yields a monocular reconstruction network capable of outputting a controllable 3D asset from any given image, whether real or generated, in a single forward pass in a matter of seconds. Our network can be used for analysis, including monocular reconstruction, or for synthesis, generating articulated assets for real-time applications such as video games.

  Viewset Diffusion is a diffusion-based generator that outputs 3D objects while only using multi-view 2D data for supervision. We train a diffusion model to generate viewsets, but design the neural network generator to reconstruct internally corresponding 3D models. The model performs reconstruction efficiently, in a feed-forward manner, and is trained using only rendering losses using as few as three views per viewset.

  Differentiable rendering is a very successful technique that applies to a Single-View 3D Reconstruction. Currents use losses based on pixels between a rendered image of some 3D reconstructed object and ground-truth images from given matched viewpoints to optimise parameters of the 3D shape. We propose a novel effective loss function that evaluates how well the projections of reconstructed 3D point clouds cover the ground truth object's silhouette.
