Code for Immortal Tracker: Tracklet Never Dies https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.13672

Prerequisite

Our code is tested for Python 3.6.
To install required liabraries:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Waymo Open Dataset

Prepare dataset & off-the-shelf detections

Download WOD perception dataset:

#Waymo Dataset         
└── waymo
       ├── training (not required)  
       ├── validation   
       ├── testing 

To extract timestamp infos/ego infos from .tfrecord files, run the following:

bash preparedata/waymo/waymo_preparedata.sh  /<path to WOD>/waymo

Run the following to convert detection results into to .npz files. The detection results should be in official WOD submission format(.bin)
We recommand you to use CenterPoint(two-frame model for tracking) detection results for reproducing our results. Please follow https://github.com/tianweiy/CenterPoint or email its author for CenterPoint detection results.

bash preparedata/waymo/waymo_convert_detection.sh <path to detection results>/detection_result.bin cp

#you can also use other detections:
#bash preparedata/waymo/waymo_convert_detection.sh <path to detection results> <detection name>

Inference

Use the following command to start inferencing on WOD. The validation set is used by default.

python main_waymo.py --name immortal --det_name cp --config_path configs/waymo_configs/immortal.yaml --process 8

Evaluation with WOD official devkit:

Follow https://github.com/waymo-research/waymo-open-dataset to build the evaluation tools and run the following command for evaluation:

#Convert the tracking results into .bin file
python evaluation/waymo/pred_bin.py --name immortal
#For evaluation
<path to WOD devkit>/bazel-bin/waymo_open_dataset/metrics/tools/compute_tracking_metrics_main mot_results/waymo/validation/immortal/bin/pred.bin <path to WOD tracking ground truth file>/validation_gt.bin

nuScenes Dataset

Prepare dataset & off-the-shelf detections

Download nuScenes perception dataset

       ├── v1.0-test

To extract timestamp infos/ego infos, run the following:

bash preparedata/nuscenes/nu_preparedata.sh <path to nuScenes>/nuscenes

Run the following to convert detection results into to .npz files. The detection results should be in official nuScenes submission format(.json)
We recommand you to use centerpoint(two-frame model for tracking) detection results for reproducing our results.

bash preparedata/nuscenes/nu_convert_detection.sh  <path to detection results>/detection_result.json cp

#you can also use other detections:
#bash preparedata/nuscenes/nu_convert_detection.sh <path to detection results> <detection name>

Inference

Use the following command to start inferencing on nuScenes. The validation set is used by default.

python main_nuscenes.py --name immortal --det_name cp --config_path configs/nu_configs/immortal.yaml --process 8

Evaluation with nuScenes official devkit:

Follow https://github.com/nutonomy/nuscenes-devkit to build the official evaluation tools for nuScenes. Run the following command for evaluation:

#To convert tracking results into .json format
bash evaluation/nuscenes/pipeline.sh immortal
#To evaluate
