LiDAR R-CNN: An Efficient and Universal 3D Object Detector

Overview

LiDAR R-CNN: An Efficient and Universal 3D Object Detector

Introduction

This is the official code of LiDAR R-CNN: An Efficient and Universal 3D Object Detector. In this work, we present LiDAR R-CNN, a second stage detector that can generally improve any existing 3D detector. We find a common problem in Point-based RCNN, which is the learned features ignore the size of proposals, and propose several methods to remedy it. Evaluated on WOD benchmarks, our method significantly outperforms previous state-of-the-art.

Requirements

All the codes are tested in the following environment:

  • Linux (tested on Ubuntu 16.04)
  • Python 3.6+
  • PyTorch 1.5 or higher (tested on PyTorch 1.5, 6, 7)
  • CUDA 10.1

To install pybind11:

git clone [email protected]:pybind/pybind11.git
cd pybind11
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. && make -j 
sudo make install

To install requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt
apt-get install ninja-build libeigen3-dev

Install LiDAR_RCNN library:

python setup.py develop --user

Preparing Data

Please refer to data processer to generate the proposal data.

Training

After preparing WOD data, we can train the vehicle only model in the paper, run this command:

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=4 tools/train.py --cfg config/lidar_rcnn.yaml --name lidar_rcnn

For 3 class in WOD:

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=8 tools/train.py --cfg config/lidar_rcnn_all_cls.yaml --name lidar_rcnn_all

The models and logs will be saved to work_dirs/outputs.

Evaluation

To evaluate, run distributed testing with 4 gpus:

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=4 tools/test.py --cfg config/lidar_rcnn.yaml --checkpoint outputs/lidar_rcnn/checkpoint_lidar_rcnn_59.pth.tar
python tools/create_results.py --cfg config/lidar_rcnn.yaml

Note that, you should keep the nGPUS in config equal to nproc_per_node .This will generate a val.bin file in the work_dir/results. You can create submission to Waymo server using waymo-open-dataset code by following the instructions here.

Results

Our model achieves the following performance on:

  • How is the PP model trained

    How is the PP model trained

    This model file checkpoints/hv_pointpillars_secfpn_sbn_2x16_2x_waymo-3d-car-9fa20624.pth in the docs cannot be found in mmdet3d official repo (they only have the interval-5 pretrained models). Are the proposals extracted with interval-1 models: 3d-car and 3d-3class? If I want to reproduce your results, do I need to first train with these two configs? Thanks.

    hi~ Zhichao Li /Feng Wang/ Naiyan Wang~

    I am very interested in your work LIDAR RCNN, but when I use the LIDAR RCNN pretrained model you gave me checkpoint_lidar_rcnn_59.pth.tar(MD5:6416c502af3cb73f0c39dd0cabdee2cb, I found that the weights of the pretrained model are 9 dimensions, but your input data is 12 dimensions.

    Can you provide me a pretrained model whose dimensions are correctly matched.

    I found that in one of your commits, the dimension was increased from 9 to 12 dimensions, but the latest pre-trained model is still 9 dimensions

  • Run inference on single GPU

    Run inference on single GPU

    Hi, I am able to do all setup as per instructions given in README In the evaluation step,

    python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=4 tools/test.py --cfg config/lidar_rcnn.yaml --checkpoint outputs/lidar_rcnn/checkpoint_lidar_rcnn_59.pth.tar
    python tools/create_results.py --cfg config/lidar_rcnn.yaml
    

    I am facing the following questions while running the evaluation.

    1. How to change the command to run a single GPU, nproc_per_node needs to be 1.
    2. What should be MODEL.Frame number for checkpoint_lidar_rcnn_59.pth.tar? Since I am trying to understand the evaluation, kindly help me on this to fix.

  • The cls scores are useless on my own dataset

    The cls scores are useless on my own dataset

    Thanks for your awesome works. When I use Lidar-RCNN on my own dataset, the refine score is useless, Most objects are classified as backgrounds. In addition, the average refined center error is only reduced by 1 cm. I don't know Is this normal?

  • What processes in LIDAR-RCNN are specific for waymo dataset?

    What processes in LIDAR-RCNN are specific for waymo dataset?

    Hello, just like the title saying, I wonder what are the specific processes for WOD, which means if I want to use LIDAR R-CNN on my own dataset, I have to do it differently. I already change the data_processor and everything I can think of in the loader and creat_results that are respect to waymo dataset, then I use the refined results to perform evaluation on my own dataset. However, I got NAN on rotation error, and the MAP is pretty low. issue2

    Therefore, I'm confused about some subtle processes that are performed just for waymo not for other datasets. For example, compute heading residual is necessary for using LiDAR R-CNN? Did you guys use rotation in some sublte ways? (In my dataset, the rotation is according to y axis, while in your code, it's x axis, but the way of computing rotZ is the same, I already changed it.) image

    This bug has been driving me crazy, that's why my issue description above is a bit messy, forgive me please. I would be grateful if you could provide me some hints. Thank you a lot. Save this almost desperate kid, please.🥺

  • The num of boxes of matching_gt_bbox is more than that of valid_gt?

    The num of boxes of matching_gt_bbox is more than that of valid_gt?

    Hello, sorry I come back with another question...... Recently, I've been working on using LiDAR R-CNN to refine the results of the CenterPoint-PP model with my own dataset. During data processing for my own dataset, I notice that the results of my CenterPoint-PP model has more bboxes detected than the ground truth ones (false detection case). When performing get_matching_by_iou function in LiDAR R-CNN, the obtained matching_gt_bbox has the same number of bboxes as the model predictions instead of the groundtruth data. I'm a bit confused about this process. Now that we are trying to do refinement, shouldn't we remove the falsely detected bboxes in the results and keep to the groundtruth? If so, why the matching bboxes is according to the predictions instead of groundtruth?

    issue

    Maybe I have some misunderstandings here, it would be a great helper if you could give me some hints. Thanks in advance.

  • About train one iter data

    About train one iter data

    Hi~Sorry to bother you again! Is that right? The prediction frames of all frames are extracted at one time and then disrupted globally, which means that when lidar RCNN trains a batch, it contains different boxes of different frames. When the batchsize is 256, the extreme case may contain up to 256 frames, and each frame takes a box. Below is my idea! If I train two frames at a time, extract proposals through the frozen one-stage network, and then use lidarcnn for end-to-end training, is it ok?Do u have an idea about how to design the ROI sampler ratio?

    Hi developers of LiDAR R-CNN,

    Congrats on the acceptance of the paper!

    LiDAR R-CNN achieves new state-of-the-art results through simple yet effective improvement, which is very insightful to the community. We also found that the baseline is based on the implementations in MMDetection3D.

    Therefore, I am coming to ask, as we believe LiDAR R-CNN might have a great impact on the community, would you like to also contribute an implementation of LiDAR R-CNN to MMDetection3D? If so, maybe we could have a more detailed discussion about that? MMDetection3D welcomes any kind of contribution. Please feel free to ask if there is anything from the MMDet3D team that could help.

    On behalf of the MMDet3D Development Team

    BR,
