Pyramid R-CNN

This is a reproduced repo of Pyramid R-CNN for 3D object detection.

The code is mainly based on OpenPCDet.

Introduction

We provide code and training configurations of Pyramid-V/PV on the KITTI and Waymo Open dataset. Checkpoints will not be released. The dataset organization is same with PCDet.

Requirements

The codes are tested in the following environment:

• Ubuntu 18.04
• Python 3.6
• PyTorch 1.5
• CUDA 10.1
• OpenPCDet v0.3.0
• spconv v1.2.1

Installation

a. Clone this repository.

git clone https://github.com/PointsCoder/Pyramid_R-CNN.git

b. Install the dependent libraries as follows:

• Install the dependent python libraries:

pip install -r requirements.txt 

• Install the SparseConv library, we use the implementation from [spconv].
  • If you use PyTorch 1.1, then make sure you install the spconv v1.0 with (commit 8da6f96) instead of the latest one.
  • If you use PyTorch 1.3+, then you need to install the spconv v1.2. As mentioned by the author of spconv, you need to use their docker if you use PyTorch 1.4+.

c. Compile CUDA operators by running the following command:

python setup.py develop

Training

We train all the models with 8 Tesla V100 GPU (32Gb), and all the configs (epochs/learning rate/batch size) are for 8-GPU Distributed Data Parallel (DDP) training. Users may change those training parameters if they want to run with different GPU numbers and memories.

• models

# pyramid_rcnn_pv.yaml: pyramid roi head on the point-voxel backbone
# pyramid_rcnn_v.yaml: pyramid roi head on the spconv u-net backbone

• DDP training

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 sh scripts/dist_train.sh 8 --cfg_file cfgs/waymo_models/pyramid_rcnn_pv.yaml

• DDP testing

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 sh scripts/dist_test.sh 8 --cfg_file cfgs/waymo_models/pyramid_rcnn_pv.yaml --eval_all
