while visualing est poses, tless models' are not uploaded

[smoothumut]

Hi thanks for your great work.
While trying to run vis_est_poses.py it gives error.
in renderer_vispy.py file, the line 402 below gives the error. because the model doesnt have "normals" key and values

    vertices = np.array(list(zip(model["pts"], model["normals"], colors, texture_uv)), vertices_type)

what am I missing,
thanks in advance

What model are you using?

[smoothumut]

Hi Thodan, thanks for your reply. I am using tless models if that is what you are asking

[thodan]

Please have a look exactly what PLY file (containing the object model) is loaded. All PLY files from the T-LESS dataset include the surface normals (saved as items nx, ny and nz), so model["normals"] should be defined.

I am facing the same problem when trying to visualize gt pose for lmo. Did anybody figure out how to resolve this ? I got the ply models from huggingface, so don't really think the ply files are corrupted.

just for the sake of other people who will end up here, I am assuming that some of the models in some datasets do not have the normals. I implemented a temporary work-around that sets the shading to ''flat" for such cases. Also it is fixing the issue only with vispy, if you are using other renderers, it wont fix your problem.

modify renderer_vispy.py: line 425

try: vertices = np.array( list(zip(model["pts"], model["normals"], colors, texture_uv)), vertices_type, ) except: self.shading = "flat" vertices_type = [ ("a_position", np.float32, 3), ("a_color", np.float32, colors.shape[1]), ("a_texcoord", np.float32, 2), ] vertices = np.array( list(zip(model["pts"], colors, texture_uv)), vertices_type )
