Camera file cam.txt stores the camera parameters, which includes extrinsic, intrinsic, minimum depth and maximum depth:

extrinsic
E00 E01 E02 E03
E10 E11 E12 E13
E20 E21 E22 E23
E30 E31 E32 E33

intrinsic
K00 K01 K02
K10 K11 K12
K20 K21 K22

DEPTH_MIN DEPTH_MAX 

pair.txt stores the view selection result. For each reference image, 10 best source views are stored in the file:

TOTAL_IMAGE_NUM
IMAGE_ID0                       # index of reference image 0 
10 ID0 SCORE0 ID1 SCORE1 ...    # 10 best source images for reference image 0 
IMAGE_ID1                       # index of reference image 1
10 ID0 SCORE0 ID1 SCORE1 ...    # 10 best source images for reference image 1 
...

• In test.sh, set DTU_TESTING, or TANK_TESTING as the root directory of corresponding dataset, set --OUT_DIR as the directory to store the reconstructed point clouds, uncomment the evaluation command for corresponding dataset (default is to evaluate on DTU's evaluation set)
• CKPT_FILE is the checkpoint file (our pretrained model is checkpoints/DTU.ckpt and checkpoints/TANK_train_on_dtu.ckpt), change it if you want to use your own model.
• Test on GPU by running sh test.sh. The code includes depth map estimation and depth fusion. The outputs are the point clouds in ply format.
• For quantitative evaluation on DTU dataset, download SampleSet and Points. Unzip them and place Points folder in SampleSet/MVS Data/. The structure looks like:

SampleSet
├──MVS Data
      └──Points

The performance on Tanks & Temples datasets will be better if the model is fine-tuned on BlendedMVS Datasets

• Download the BlendedMVS dataset.

• For detailed quantitative results on Tanks & Temples, please check the leaderboards Tanks & Temples

• In train.sh, set MVS_TRAINING or BLEND_TRAINING as the root directory of dataset; set --logdir as the directory to store the checkpoints.

• Train the model by running sh train.sh.

DTU Training dataset:
Download the preprocessed DTU training data and Depths_raw (both from Original MVSNet), and upzip it as the $MVS_TRANING folder.
