Description

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.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part introduces 3D data processing basics. The authors introduce Ply, OBJ 3D data file formats and coding exercises for 3D rendering using PyTorch3D. The second part introduces 3D deep learning. This includes object pose detection by differentiable rendering, differentiable volumetric rendering and neural radiance fields. The final part introduces current deep learning using PyTorch 3D. This includes training GIRAFFEE model, understanding linear blend Skinning technique and SMPL model. The final 2 chapters includes end-t-end view synthesis with SynSin and Mesh R-CNN.

Overall it was a good book. It covered everything you would expect in a 3D deep learning book (point clouds, NeRFs, GANs, Mesh R-CNN, and that weird puffy cow) I haven't had any experience doing 3d deep learning, so this book was not an easy read for me. Given the complexity of the subject, its not that surprising. My advise to anyone reading it is to read it a few times, don't get wrapped up in concepts that you might not understand, they might become clearer when you come back to the subject. Personally I feel the subject of 3D deep learning is not quite ready for prime time, but with recent advancements with models like stable diffusion I think we are are going to see some amazing tools come out of this field.

Deep learning has taken the world by storm and revolutionized entire fields such as computer vision and natural language processing. While there are already many good books on various aspects of deep learning, this book is a wonderful and rather unique resource for learning 3D deep learning.The book begins with covering basic concepts in 3D data processing, and progressively moves to cover essential tools and modern techniques for 3D computer vision and geometry. It provides a great introduction to PyTorch3D - an open-source library for 3D deep learning - and provides detailed and illuminating descriptions of state-of-the-art methods in 3D computer vision, such as NeRF, SynSin and Mesh R-CNN.While the book is rather short (about 220 pages), it is concise and serves as a great introduction to the fascinating world of 3D data processing with deep learning. I'd recommend it mostly to beginners and intermediate-level machine learning practitioners who are interested in mastering the different aspects of 3D deep learning. Note that it's also best to have access to a modern GPU to get the most out of this book, although this isn't a strict requirement.All in all, highly recommended!
