Installation

This work is based on pypose. Follow the instruction and install the newest realase of pypose: https://github.com/pypose/pypose

Dataset

Note: Remember to reset the data_root in configs/datasets/${DATASET}/${DATASET}.conf.

Download the Euroc dataset from: https://projects.asl.ethz.ch/datasets/doku.php?id=kmavvisualinertialdatasets

Download the TUM VI dataset from: https://cvg.cit.tum.de/data/datasets/visual-inertial-dataset

Pretrained Model

Note: You can download our trained ckpt here.

KITTI

EuRoC

Train

Easy way to start the training using the exisiting configuration.

Note:You can also create your own configuration file for different datasets and set the parameters accordingly.

python train.py --config configs/exp/EuRoC/codenet.conf

More specific option:

usage: train.py [-h] [--config CONFIG] [--device DEVICE] [--load_ckpt] [--log]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help       show this help message and exit
  --config CONFIG  config file path
  --device DEVICE  cuda or cpu, Default is cuda:0
  --load_ckpt      If True, try to load the newest.ckpt in the exp_dir specificed in our config file.
  --log            if True, save the meta data with wandb, Default is True

Evaluation

To evaluate the model and generate network inference file net_output.pickle, run the following command:

python inference.py --config configs/exp/EuRoC/codenet.conf

You can use the evaluation tool to assess your model performance with net_output.pickle， run the following command.

Note: Make sure to replace path/to/net_output_directory with the directory path where your network output pickle file is stored.

python evaluation/evaluate_state.py --dataconf configs/datasets/${DATASET}/${DATASET}.conf --exp path/to/net_output_directory

More specific option for the evaluation tool:

usage: evaluation/evaluate_state.py [-h] [--dataconf] [--device] [--exp] [--seqlen] [--savedir] [--usegtrot] [--mask]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help       show this help message and exit
  --config         config file path
  --device         cuda or cpu, Default is cuda:0
  --exp            the directory path where your network output pickle file is stored
  --seqlen         the length of the integration sequence
  --savedir        the save diretory for the evaluation results, default path is  "./result/loss_result"
  --usegtrot       use ground truth rotation for gravity compensation, default is true
  --mask           mask the segments if needed.
