26th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention; MICCAI 2023,(Oral)

This is the official code release for POV Surgery at MICCAI 2023. Check out the POVSurgery YouTube videos below for more details.

Video Description (with audio)	Overview Video

Components

Synthetic data generation pipeline

• diverse hand tool grasping generation
• hand-tool grasping refinement and interpolation
• body pose and hand sequence fusion
• pre-rendering and groud truth generation scipts
• blender rendering scripts
• SMPLX Texture

POV-Surgery dataset utilities

• Ground truth reprojection and visualization scripts

Fine-tuning demo code

• HandOccNet training and testing code

Dataset Usage

Please download the dataset POV_Surgery_data.zip at POV-Surgery, unzip it and put it in a desired location. Please remember that if you wish to download and utilize our dataset, compliance with the licensing conditions is mandatory. Our proposed dataset contains 53 egocentric RGB-D sequences with 88k frames and accurate 2D/3D hand-object pose annotations. Here's a teaser of our dataset:

Project structure

Please register yourself at SMPL-X and MANO to use their dependencies. Please read and accept their liscenses to use SMPL-X and MANO models. There are different versions of manopth. We have included the implementation of mano in our repo already. Then please download the data.zip from POV-Surgery, unzip it and put in the POV_Surgery folder. We have prepared all the dependencies required and the final structure should look like this:

Environment

We recommend create a python 3.8 environment with conda. Install pytorch and torchvision that suits you operation system. For example, if you are using cuda 11.8 version, you could use:

pip install torch torchvision --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118

Then you should install pytorch3d that suits your python and cuda version. An example could be found here:

pip install --no-index --no-cache-dir pytorch3d -f https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/pytorch3d/packaging/wheels/py38_cu113_pyt1110/download.html

Then install the dependencies to finish the environment set up following the requiremesnts.sh.

sh requirements.sh

You could refer to the colab demo for hint to set the environment.
