Requirements

  1. Caffe

  2. Hardware

    • To train a full AffordanceNet, you'll need a GPU with ~11GB (e.g. Titan, K20, K40, Tesla, ...).
    • To test a full AffordanceNet, you'll need ~6GB GPU.
  3. [Optional] For robotic demo

Installation

  1. Clone the AffordanceNet repository into your $AffordanceNet_ROOT folder.

  2. Build Caffe and pycaffe:

    • cd $AffordanceNet_ROOT/caffe-affordance-net
    • # Now follow the Caffe installation instructions: http://caffe.berkeleyvision.org/installation.html
    • # If you're experienced with Caffe and have all of the requirements installed and your Makefile.config in place, then simply do:
    • make -j8 && make pycaffe
  3. Build the Cython modules:

    • cd $AffordanceNet_ROOT/lib
    • make
  4. Download pretrained weights (Google Drive, One Drive). This weight is trained on the training set of the IIT-AFF dataset:

    • Extract the file you downloaded to $AffordanceNet_ROOT
    • Make sure you have the caffemodel file like this: '$AffordanceNet_ROOT/pretrained/AffordanceNet_200K.caffemodel

Demo

After successfully completing installation, you'll be ready to run the demo.

  1. Export pycaffe path:

    • export PYTHONPATH=$AffordanceNet_ROOT/caffe-affordance-net/python:$PYTHONPATH
  2. Demo on static images:

    • cd $AffordanceNet_ROOT/tools
    • python demo_img.py
    • You should see the detected objects and their affordances.
  3. (Optional) Demo on depth camera (such as Asus Xtion):

    • With AffordanceNet and the depth camera, you can easily select the interested object and its affordances for robotic applications such as grasping, pouring, etc.
    • First, launch your depth camera with ROS, OpenNI, etc.
    • cd $AffordanceNet_ROOT/tools
    • python demo_asus.py
    • You may want to change the object id and/or affordance id (line 380, 381 in demo_asus.py). Currently, we select the bottle and its grasp affordance.
    • The 3D grasp pose can be visualized with rviz. You should see something like this: affordance-net-asus

Training

  1. We train AffordanceNet on IIT-AFF dataset

    • We need to format IIT-AFF dataset as in Pascal-VOC dataset for training.
    • For your convinience, we did it for you. Just download this file (Google Drive, One Drive) and extract it into your $AffordanceNet_ROOT folder.
    • The extracted folder should contain three sub-folders: $AffordanceNet_ROOT/data/cache, $AffordanceNet_ROOT/data/imagenet_models, and $AffordanceNet_ROOT/data/VOCdevkit2012 .
  2. Train AffordanceNet:

    • cd $AffordanceNet_ROOT
    • ./experiments/scripts/faster_rcnn_end2end.sh [GPU_ID] [NET] [--set ...]
    • e.g.: ./experiments/scripts/faster_rcnn_end2end.sh 0 VGG16 pascal_voc
    • We use pascal_voc alias although we're training using the IIT-AFF dataset.

Notes

  1. AffordanceNet vs. Mask-RCNN: AffordanceNet can be considered as a general version of Mask-RCNN when we have multiple classes inside each instance.
  2. The current network achitecture is slightly diffrent from the paper, but it achieves the same accuracy.
  3. Train AffordanceNet on your data:
    • Format your images as in Pascal-VOC dataset (as in $AffordanceNet_ROOT/data/VOCdevkit2012 folder).
    • Prepare the affordance masks (as in $AffordanceNet_ROOT/data/cache folder): For each object in the image, we need to create a mask and save as a .sm file. See $AffordanceNet_ROOT/utils for details.
