This code is based on Kinematic-3D, such that the setup/organization is very similar. A few of the implementations, such as classical NMS, are based on Caffe.

Setup

  • Requirements

    1. Python 3.6
    2. Pytorch 0.4.1
    3. Torchvision 0.2.1
    4. Cuda 8.0
    5. Ubuntu 18.04/Debian 8.9

    This is tested with NVIDIA 1080 Ti GPU. Other platforms have not been tested. Unless otherwise stated, the below scripts and instructions assume the working directory is the project root.

    Clone the repo first:

    git clone https://github.com/abhi1kumar/groomed_nms.git
  • Cuda & Python

    Install some basic packages:

    sudo apt-get install libopenblas-dev libboost-dev libboost-all-dev git
    sudo apt install gfortran
    
    # We need to compile with older version of gcc and g++
    sudo apt install gcc-5 g++-5
    sudo ln -f /usr/bin/gcc-5 /usr/local/cuda-8.0/bin/gcc
    sudo ln -s /usr/bin/g++-5 /usr/local/cuda-8.0/bin/g++

    Next, install conda and then install the required packages:

    wget https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-2020.02-Linux-x86_64.sh
    bash Anaconda3-2020.02-Linux-x86_64.sh
    source ~/.bashrc
    conda list
    conda create --name py36 --file dependencies/conda.txt
    conda activate py36
  • KITTI Data

    Download the following images of the full KITTI 3D Object detection dataset:

    Then place a soft-link (or the actual data) in data/kitti:

     ln -s /path/to/kitti data/kitti

    The directory structure should look like this:

    ./groomed_nms
    ├── cuda_env
    ├── data
    │      ├── kitti
    │            ├── training
    │            │        ├── calib
    │            │        ├── image_2
    │            │        └── label_2
    │            │
    │            └── testing
    │                     ├── calib
    │                     └── image_2
    │
    ├── dependencies
    ├── lib
    ├── models
    └── scripts

    Then, use the following scripts to extract the data splits, which use soft-links to the above directory for efficient storage:

    python data/kitti_split1/setup_split.py
    python data/kitti_split2/setup_split.py

    Next, build the KITTI devkit eval:

     sh data/kitti_split1/devkit/cpp/build.sh
  • Classical NMS

    Lastly, build the classical NMS modules:

    cd lib/nms
    make
    cd ../..

Training

Training is carried out in two stages - a warmup and a full. Review the configurations in scripts/config for details.

chmod +x scripts_training.sh
./scripts_training.sh

If your training is accidentally stopped, you can resume at a checkpoint based on the snapshot with the restore flag. For example, to resume training starting at iteration 10k, use the following command:

source dependencies/cuda_8.0_env
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python -u scripts/train_rpn_3d.py --config=groumd_nms --restore=10000

Testing Pre-trained Models

We provide logs/models/predictions for the main experiments on KITTI Val 1/Val 2/Test data splits available to download here.

Make an output folder in the project directory:

mkdir output

Place different models in the output folder as follows:

./groomed_nms
├── output
│      ├── groumd_nms
│      ├── groumd_nms_split2
│      └── groumd_nms_full_train_2
│
│ ...

To test, run the file as below:

chmod +x scripts_evaluation.sh
./scripts_evaluation.sh
