Point-E vs. ClearEdge3D Verity

Recent progress in generating 3D objects from text has shown promising results; nonetheless, many of the leading techniques typically require multiple hours on powerful GPUs to produce just one sample, which stands in stark contrast to the more advanced generative image models that can create samples in a matter of seconds or minutes. In this research, we introduce a novel method for 3D object generation that allows for model creation in merely 1-2 minutes using only a single GPU. Our approach begins with generating a synthetic view through a text-to-image diffusion model, and it is followed by constructing a 3D point cloud using a second diffusion model that is conditioned on the image produced. Although our method has not yet reached the highest quality levels of the best existing techniques, it provides a considerably quicker sampling process, thus serving as a valuable alternative for certain applications. Additionally, we make available our pre-trained point cloud diffusion models, as well as the evaluation code and supplementary models, accessible at this provided URL. This endeavor is intended to encourage further research and innovation in the area of rapid 3D object generation, potentially paving the way for more efficient workflows in the industry.

Verity empowers teams in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) to deliver accurate quality assessments on a wide scale. It streamlines the automatic identification of inconsistencies between your Autodesk Navisworks or Revit models and the actual point cloud data, which is essential for confirming the precision of installation placements or validating the model's integrity. By refining quality assurance and quality control processes, enhancing clash detection techniques, and ensuring that the executed construction corresponds with the intended design, you can significantly reduce rework, prevent delays in scheduling, and alleviate overall project risks. The platform makes it easy to compare as-built point cloud data with your design or coordination models, facilitating swift and precise detection of errors in installations or modeling, whether these errors pertain to specific components or broader scopes of work. This leads to a more thorough and actionable analysis that is accomplished much faster than conventional methods. Moreover, the system includes customizable heat maps and color-coded reports that effectively highlight deviations, bending, and deflection. In addition, precise measuring tools provide quantitative insights into how installed elements vary from your original models, offering a deeper understanding of project integrity. Ultimately, Verity not only boosts efficiency but also instills a sense of assurance in the quality of construction results, paving the way for improved stakeholder confidence. Its ability to integrate with existing workflows makes it an essential tool for modern AEC teams.
