Super Fast and Accurate 3D Object Detection based on 3D LiDAR Point Clouds (SFA3D)

python-image pytorch-image


Features

  • Super fast and accurate 3D object detection based on LiDAR
  • Fast training, fast inference
  • An Anchor-free approach
  • No Non-Max-Suppression
  • Support distributed data parallel training
  • Release pre-trained models

Highlights

  • The technical details are described here
  • The great introduction and explanation from Computer Vision and Perception for Self-Driving Cars Course Youtube link
  • SFA3D is used for the second course in the Udacity Self-Driving Car Engineer Nanodegree Program: Sensor Fusion and Tracking GitHub link

Update 2020.09.06: Add ROS source code. The great work has been done by @AhmedARadwan. The implementation is here

Demonstration (on a single GTX 1080Ti)

2. Getting Started

2.1. Requirement

The instructions for setting up a virtual environment is here.

git clone https://github.com/maudzung/SFA3D.git SFA3D
cd SFA3D/
pip install -r requirements.txt

2.2. Data Preparation

Download the 3D KITTI detection dataset from here.

The downloaded data includes:

  • Velodyne point clouds (29 GB)
  • Training labels of object data set (5 MB)
  • Camera calibration matrices of object data set (16 MB)
  • Left color images of object data set (12 GB) (For visualization purpose only)

Please make sure that you construct the source code & dataset directories structure as below.

2.3. How to run

2.3.1. Visualize the dataset

To visualize 3D point clouds with 3D boxes, let's execute:

cd sfa/data_process/
python kitti_dataset.py

2.3.2. Inference

The pre-trained model was pushed to this repo.

python test.py --gpu_idx 0 --peak_thresh 0.2

2.3.3. Making demonstration

python demo_2_sides.py --gpu_idx 0 --peak_thresh 0.2

The data for the demonstration will be automatically downloaded by executing the above command.

2.3.4. Training

2.3.4.1. Single machine, single gpu
python train.py --gpu_idx 0
2.3.4.2. Distributed Data Parallel Training
  • Single machine (node), multiple GPUs
python train.py --multiprocessing-distributed --world-size 1 --rank 0 --batch_size 64 --num_workers 8
  • Two machines (two nodes), multiple GPUs

    • First machine
    python train.py --dist-url 'tcp:https://IP_OF_NODE1:FREEPORT' --multiprocessing-distributed --world-size 2 --rank 0 --batch_size 64 --num_workers 8
    
    • Second machine
    python train.py --dist-url 'tcp:https://IP_OF_NODE2:FREEPORT' --multiprocessing-distributed --world-size 2 --rank 1 --batch_size 64 --num_workers 8
    

Tensorboard

  • To track the training progress, go to the logs/ folder and
cd logs/<saved_fn>/tensorboard/
tensorboard --logdir=./
