KFusion-TornadoVM

A Java implementation of the Kinect Fusion application running on TornadoVM. It can run on existing datasets as well as in real-time with input frames from an attached RBG-d camera. Detailed explanation and performance evaluation can be found in the following publication.

Releases

• KFusion-TornadoVM 0.1.0 - 11/02/2019: Initial release of Kinect Fusion on TornadoVM.

Output

If you enable the GUI while running KFusion you will see a real-time 3D space reconstruction similar to the image below:

In addition, you will see output text with performance metrics across the frames that KFusion processes: bash frame acquisition preprocessing tracking integration raycasting rendering computation total X Y Z tracked integrated 0 0.006214 0.003313 0.016029 0.027997 0.000000 0.001509 0.047339 0.055061 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0 1 1 0.000499 0.000389 0.002222 0.000608 0.000000 0.000000 0.003220 0.003719 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0 1 2 0.000409 0.000418 0.002108 0.000618 0.000000 0.000000 0.003144 0.003554 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0 1 3 0.000584 0.000431 0.003003 0.000593 0.000552 0.000000 0.004579 0.005163 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0 1 4 0.000665 0.000422 0.013228 0.000599 0.000369 0.000310 0.014618 0.015592 -0.004392 0.001433 0.000935 1 1 ...

How to start?

This implementation runs on TornadoVM to achieve GPU acceleration and real-time performance. Hence, you need to install Tornado following the instructions from Tornado-INSTALL

After you successfully build Tornado, you can install KFusion-TornadoVM by issuing the following commands:

Dependencies:

bash sudo dnf install -y yaml-cpp-devel gtk2-devel mesa-libEGL-devel vtk-devel cmake make git mercurial wget unzip gcc gcc-c++ lapack blas lapack-devel blas-devel findutils cvs glut-devel glew-devel boost-devel glog-devel gflags-devel libXmu-devel

Then install KFUSION-TornadoVM

```bash

Setup:

export KFUSIONROOT="${PWD}" export PATH="${PATH}:${KFUSIONROOT}/bin" export JAVAHOME=/path/to/graal/jdk1.8.0131 export TORNADOROOT=/path/to/tornado export PATH="${PATH}:${TORNADOROOT}/bin/bin/" export TORNADOSDK=${TORNADOROOT}/bin/sdk

Compile and run KFusion-TornadoVM

$ mvn clean install -DskipTests

Run KFusion-TornadoVM GUI

$ kfusion kfusion.tornado.GUI

Run Benchmarking mode

$ kfusion kfusion.tornado.Benchmark ```

How to get the datasets?

KFusion-Tornado uses the ICL-NUIM datasets.
We provide a script to automatically download and compose the video files in raw format.
Alternatively, when running the Java program (KFusion-TornadoVM) the first time, it will download the corresponding video raw-file and install it locally.

Option a) Automatically

The first time you run the application and if the raw file is not installed locally (~/.kfusion_tornado), then the program will ask you if you want to download it auotmatically:

bash $ kfusion kfusion.tornado.Benchmark conf/bm-traj3.settings KFussion Accelerated with Tornado : Reading configuration file: /home/juan/.kfusion_tornado/living_room_traj3_loop.raw Data Set file does not exist. Do you want to download it automatically? (~2GB) Press [yes/no] (default: yes) :

Option b) Manually

Run the downloadDataSets.sh <url> <fileName>, for example:

bash $ bash downloadDataSets.sh http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~ahanda/living_room_traj2_loop.tgz living_room_traj2_loop.raw

Running KFusion-Tornado

KFusion can run in two modes receiving input from:

1) RGB-d camera where you select the input source from the drop-down menu: ```bash

Run KFusion-Tornado GUI

$ kfusion kfusion.tornado.GUI ```

2) Pre-defined datasets again through the GUI selection or: ```bash

Run KFusion-Tornado GUI

$ kfusion kfusion.tornado.Benchmark ``` In our examples, we use images from the ICL-NUIM dataset which will be downloaded automatically when issuing the following command:

bash $ kfusion kfusion.tornado.Benchmark conf/bm-traj2.settings

Note: * Sample configuration files are under the conf/ directory.
