Measured effects reported in the paper
| What was changed | Where | Measured | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Add view-specific CNN normal prediction and integrate predicted normals into depth maps | MVS initialization · DTU, 14 objects | completeness: 14 % | Helped |
| Add view-specific CNN normal prediction and integrate predicted normals into depth maps | MVS initialization · DTU, 14 objects | overall quality: 11% | Helped |
| Predict missing normals with a CNN trained on the same image's MVS normals | MVS normal maps · DTU, 14 objects | mean angular error: 11◦ -> 18◦ | Hurt |
| Predict missing normals with a CNN trained on the same image's MVS normals | MVS normal maps · DTU, 14 objects | mean-of-median angular error: 9◦ -> 16◦ | Hurt |
| Train one normal predictor for multiple views instead of an individual model per image (ablation) | View-specific normal prediction · DTU scenes | normal prediction performance | Hurt |
| Use a per-image model rather than one model for multiple views (ablation) | Normal prediction · DTU scenes | normal prediction performance | Helped |
