Overview of this book

With this hands-on guide to 3D deep learning, developers working with 3D computer vision will be able to put their knowledge to work and get up and running in no time. Complete with step-by-step explanations of essential concepts and practical examples, this book lets you explore and gain a thorough understanding of state-of-the-art 3D deep learning. You’ll see how to use PyTorch3D for basic 3D mesh and point cloud data processing, including loading and saving ply and obj files, projecting 3D points into camera coordination using perspective camera models or orthographic camera models, rendering point clouds and meshes to images, and much more. As you implement some of the latest 3D deep learning algorithms, such as differential rendering, Nerf, synsin, and mesh RCNN, you’ll realize how coding for these deep learning models becomes easier using the PyTorch3D library. By the end of this deep learning book, you’ll be ready to implement your own 3D deep learning models confidently.

Understanding Differentiable Volumetric Rendering

In this chapter, we are going to discuss a new way of differentiable rendering. We are going to use a voxel 3D data representation, unlike the mesh 3D data representation we used in the last chapter. Voxel 3D data representation has certain advantages compared to mesh models. For example, it is more flexible and highly structured.

To understand volumetric rendering, we need to understand several important concepts, such as ray sampling, volumes, volume sampling, and ray marching. All these concepts have corresponding PyTorch3D implementations. We will discuss each of these concepts using explanations and coding exercises.

After we understand the preceding basic concepts of volumetric rendering, we can then see easily that all the operations mentioned already are already differentiable. Volumetric rendering is naturally differentiable. Thus, by then, we will be ready to use differentiable volumetric rendering for some real applications...
