Experiments In this section we present our experiments, which include state-of-the-art comparisons and ablations. We first describe the baselines we implemented on our benchmark, and then show detailed quantitative and qualitative results. 5.1. Metrics We evaluate the shape reconstruction models using Chamfer Distance (CD) and F-score as our quantitative metrics following [15, 19, 20, 28, 55, 56]. Chamfer Distance. Chamfer Distance (CD) measures the alignment between two pointclouds. Following [20], CD is defined as an average of accuracy and completeness. Denoting pointclouds as X and Y , CD is defined as: F-score. F-score measures the pointcloud alignment under a classification framing. By selecting a rejection threshold d, F-score@d (FS@d) is the harmonic mean of precision@d and recall@d. Specifically, precision@d is the percentage of predicted points that lies close to GT point cloud within distance d. Similarly, recall@d is the percentage of ground truth points that have neighboring predicted points within distance d. FS@d can be intuitively interpreted as the percentage of surface that is correctly reconstructed under a certain threshold d that defines correctness. Evaluation protocol. To compute CD and F-score, we grid-sample the implicit function and extract the isosurface via Marching Cubes [32] for methods using implicit representation. Then we sample 10K points from the surfaces for the evaluation of CD and F-scores. Because most methods cannot predict view-centric shapes, we use bruteforce search to align the coordinate frame of prediction with ground truth before calculating the metrics. This evaluation protocol ensures a fair comparison between methods with different shape representation and coordinate conventions. This paper is available on arxiv under CC BY 4.0 DEED license.
