Understanding the 3D surroundings including the background stuffs and foreground objects is important for autonomous driving. In the traditional 3D object detection task, a foreground object is represented by the 3D bounding box. However, the geometrical shape of the object is complex, which can not be represented by a simple 3D box, and the perception of the background stuffs is absent. The goal of this task is to predict the 3D occupancy of the scene. In this task, we provide a large-scale occupancy benchmark based on the nuScenes dataset. The benchmark is a voxelized representation of the 3D space, and the occupancy state and semantics of the voxel in 3D space are jointly estimated in this task. The complexity of this task lies in the dense prediction of 3D space given the surround-view images.

Given images from multiple cameras, the goal is to predict the current occupancy state and semantics of each voxel grid in the scene. The voxel state is predicted to be either free or occupied. If a voxel is occupied, its semantic class needs to be predicted, as well. Besides, we also provide a binary observed/unobserved mask for each frame. An observed voxel is defined as an invisible grid in the current camera observation, which is ignored in the evaluation stage.
- We allow using annotations provided in the nuScenes dataset, and during inference, the input modality of the model should be camera only.
- No future frame is allowed during inference.
- In order to check the compliance, we will ask the participants to provide technical reports to the challenge committee and the participant will be asked to provide a public talk about the method after winning the award.
- Every submission provides method information. We encourage publishing code, but do not make it a requirement.
- Each team can have at most one account on the evaluation server. Users that create multiple accounts to circumvent the rules will be excluded from the challenge.
- Each team can submit at most three results during the challenge.
- Faulty submissions that return an error on Eval AI do not count towards the submission limit.
- Any attempt to circumvent these rules will result in a permanent ban of the team or company from the challenge.
Leaderboard ranking for this challenge is by the intersection-over-union (mIoU) over all classes.

The dataset contains 18 classes. The definition of classes from 0 to 16 is the same as the nuScenes-lidarseg dataset. The label 17 category represents voxels that are not occupied by anything, which is named as
free
. Voxel semantics for each sample frame is given as[semantics]
in the labels.npz. -
How are the labels annotated? The ground truth labels of occupancy derive from accumulative LiDAR scans with human annotations, and we annotate the occupancy in the ego coordinate system.
- If a voxel reflects a LiDAR point, then it is assigned as the same semantic label as the LiDAR point;
- If a LiDAR beam passes through a voxel in the air, the voxel is set to be
free
; - Otherwise, we set the voxel to be unknown, or unobserved. This happens due to the sparsity of the LiDAR or the voxel is occluded, e.g. by a wall. In the dataset,
[mask_lidar]
is a 0-1 binary mask, where 0's represent unobserved voxels. As shown in Fig.1(b), grey voxels are unobserved. Due to the limitation of the visualization tool, we only show unobserved voxels at the same height as the ground.
-
Camera visibility. Note that the installation positions of LiDAR and cameras are different, therefore, some observed voxels in the LiDAR view are not seen by the cameras. Since we focus on a vision-centric task, we provide a binary voxel mask
[mask_camera]
, indicating whether the voxels are observed or not in the current camera view. As shown in Fig.1(c), white voxels are observed in the accumulative LiDAR view but unobserved in the current camera view. -
Both
[mask_lidar]
and[mask_camera]
masks are optional for training. Participants do not need to predict the masks. Only[mask_camera]
is used for evaluation; the unobserved voxels are not involved during calculating the F-score and mIoU.

- Nuscene (issues-721) lacks translation in the z-axis, which makes it hard to recover accurate 6d localization and would lead to the misalignment of point clouds while accumulating them over whole scenes. Ground stratification occurs in several data.
We provide a baseline model based on BEVFormer.

Please submit your result on our evaluation server. The submission rule can be referred to here
We define a standardized 3D occupancy prediction result format that serves as an input to the evaluation code. Results are evaluated for each sample. The 3D occupancy prediction results for a the test evaluation set are stored in a folder. The participant needs to zip the results folder and submit it to the official evaluation server.
The folder structure of the results should be as follows:
βββ results_folder
βββ [frame_token].npz
βββ ...
The result folder contains .npz files, where each .npz file contains the labels of the voxels for the 3D grids with the shape of [200,200,16]. Pay special attention that each set of predictions in the folder must be a .npz file and named as [frame_token]
.npz. The [frame_token]
in annotations.json
is the same as the sample_token
in nuscenes. A .npz file contains an array of uint8 values in which each value is the predicted semantic class index of the corresponding grid in the 3D space.
Below is an example of how to save the predictions for a single sample:
save_path = os.path.join(submission_prefix,'{}.npz'.format(sample_token))
np.savez_compressed(save_path,occ_pred.astype(np.uint8))
We provide example scripts based on mmdetection3d to generate the submission file, please refer to getting_started for details.
The official evaluation server only accepts a single *.zip
file; you can zip the results folder as below:
zip -r occ_submission.zip results_folder
