Scene flow results on Argoverse
Point cloud integration (left: densified point cloud; right: sparse point cloud)

Prerequisites

This code is based on PyTorch implementation, and tested on torch=1.6.0 with CUDA 10.1 OR torch=1.7.1 with CUDA 10.2.

For a detailed installation guide, please go to requirements.txt.

Dataset

We provide four datasets we used in our paper. You may download datasets used in the paper from these anonymous links:

KITTI (266MB)
Argoverse (5.3GB)
nuScenes (436MB)
FlyingThings3D (436MB)

After you download the dataset, you can create a symbolic link in the ./dataset folder as ./dataset/kitti, ./dataset/argoverse, ./dataset/nuscenes, and ./dataset/flyingthings.

Optimization

Since we use neural scene flow prior for runtime optimization, our method does not include any "training".

Just run following lines for a simple optimization on a small KITTI Scene Flow dataset (only 50 testing samples)

python optimization.py \
--dataset KITTISceneFlowDataset \
--dataset_path dataset/kitti \
--exp_name KITTI_2048_points \
--batch_size 1 \
--iters 5000 \
--compute_metrics \
--num_points 2048 \
--hidden_units 128 \
--lr 0.008 \
--backward_flow \
--early_patience 70 \
--visualize

You can then play with these configurations. We provide commands we used to generate results in the small point coud (2048 points) experiments and large point cloud (all points included) experiments.
