Abstract | We present a network architecture which compares RGB images and untextured 3D models by the similarity of the represented shape. Our system is optimised for Zero-Shot retrieval, meaning it can recognise shapes never shown in training. We use a view-based shape descriptor and a Siamese Network to learn object geometry from pairs of 3D models and 2D images. Due to scarcity of datasets with exact photograph-mesh correspondences, we train our network with only synthetic data. Our experiments investigate the effect of different qualities and quantities of training data on retrieval accuracy and present insights from bridging the domain gap. We show that increasing the variety of synthetic data improves retrieval accuracy and that our system’s performance in zero-shot mode can match that of the instance-aware mode, as far as narrowing down the search to the top 10% of objects. |
