2. Getting Started

2.1. Requirement

pip install -U -r requirements.txt

For mayavi and shapely libraries, please refer to the installation instructions from their official websites.

2.2. Data Preparation

Download the 3D KITTI detection dataset from here.

The downloaded data includes:

Velodyne point clouds (29 GB): input data to the Complex-YOLO model
Training labels of object data set (5 MB): input label to the Complex-YOLO model
Camera calibration matrices of object data set (16 MB): for visualization of predictions
Left color images of object data set (12 GB): for visualization of predictions

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

For 3D point cloud preprocessing, please refer to the previous works:

2.3. Complex-YOLO architecture

This work has been based on the paper YOLOv4: Optimal Speed and Accuracy of Object Detection.

Please refer to several implementations of YOLOv4 using PyTorch DL framework:

2.4. How to run

2.4.1. Visualize the dataset (both BEV images from LiDAR and camera images)

cd src/data_process

To visualize BEV maps and camera images (with 3D boxes), let's execute (the output-width param can be changed to show the images in a bigger/smaller window):

python kitti_dataloader.py --output-width 608

To visualize mosaics that are composed from 4 BEV maps (Using during training only), let's execute:

python kitti_dataloader.py --show-train-data --mosaic --output-width 608

By default, there is no padding for the output mosaics, the feature could be activated by executing:

python kitti_dataloader.py --show-train-data --mosaic --random-padding --output-width 608

To visualize cutout augmentation, let's execute:

python kitti_dataloader.py --show-train-data --cutout_prob 1. --cutout_nholes 1 --cutout_fill_value 1. --cutout_ratio 0.3 --output-width 608

2.4.2. Inference

Download the trained model from here, then put it to ${ROOT}/checkpoints/ and execute:

python test.py --gpu_idx 0 --pretrained_path ../checkpoints/complex_yolov4/complex_yolov4_mse_loss.pth --cfgfile ./config/cfg/complex_yolov4.cfg --show_image

2.4.3. Evaluation

python evaluate.py --gpu_idx 0 --pretrained_path <PATH> --cfgfile <CFG> --img_size <SIZE> --conf-thresh <THRESH> --nms-thresh <THRESH> --iou-thresh <THRESH>

(The conf-thresh, nms-thresh, and iou-thresh params can be adjusted. By default, these params have been set to 0.5)

2.4.4. Training

2.4.4.1. Single machine, single gpu

python train.py --gpu_idx 0 --batch_size <N> --num_workers <N>...

2.4.4.2. Multi-processing Distributed Data Parallel Training

We should always use the nccl backend for multi-processing distributed training since it currently provides the best distributed training performance.

Single machine (node), multiple GPUs

python train.py --dist-url 'tcp://127.0.0.1:29500' --dist-backend 'nccl' --multiprocessing-distributed --world-size 1 --rank 0

Two machines (two nodes), multiple GPUs

First machine

python train.py --dist-url 'tcp://IP_OF_NODE1:FREEPORT' --dist-backend 'nccl' --multiprocessing-distributed --world-size 2 --rank 0

Second machine

python train.py --dist-url 'tcp://IP_OF_NODE2:FREEPORT' --dist-backend 'nccl' --multiprocessing-distributed --world-size 2 --rank 1

To reproduce the results, you can run the bash shell script

./train.sh

Tensorboard

To track the training progress, go to the logs/ folder and

cd logs/<saved_fn>/tensorboard/
tensorboard --logdir=./

Then go to http://localhost:6006/:
