How to run

No need for external packages or extra configurations. In MATLAB, cd to HouseCraft, and excute
run
Then you should see something like:

step 1: compute all the renders, integral features, and losses  
processing house #74  
Processing time: xx seconds.  
step 2: compute all the final feature  
processing house #74  
Processing time: xx seconds.  
step 3: inference  
processing house #74  
Processing time: xx seconds.  
step 4: visualize  

(You may or may not need to recompile the ann toolbox at HouseCraft/ann_color/ann_wrapper)

Test on the SydneyHouse dataset

Download the SydneyHouse dataset from the HouseCraft project page.
Unzip the downloaded zip file to the HouseCraft folder.
In HouseCraft/run.m, modify line 7, 28, 45, 60 to for ii=1:length(houseidlist).
Excute run.
