Data Downloading

All the data can be downloaded from google drive. If you have a good internet, you can directly download the complete large zip file such as train.zip. In case you suffer from downloading large files, we also split each data set into small chunks, which can be found in the directory ending with _chunks, such as train_chunks. After downloading, please run the following command to each set to merge those chunks together:

cat train.zip.part* > train.zip
unzip train.zip

Installation

Please refer to data introduction and installation guide to prepare data and install OpenCOOD. To see more details of OPV2V data, please check our website.

Quick Start

Data sequence visualization

To quickly visualize the LiDAR stream in the OPV2V dataset, first modify the validate_dir in your opencood/hypes_yaml/visualization.yaml to the opv2v data path on your local machine, e.g. opv2v/validate, and the run the following commond:

cd ~/OpenCOOD
python opencood/visualization/vis_data_sequence.py [--color_mode ${COLOR_RENDERING_MODE}]

Arguments Explanation:

• color_mode : str type, indicating the lidar color rendering mode. You can choose from 'constant', 'intensity' or 'z-value'.

Train your model

OpenCOOD uses yaml file to configure all the parameters for training. To train your own model from scratch or a continued checkpoint, run the following commonds:

python opencood/tools/train.py --hypes_yaml ${CONFIG_FILE} [--model_dir  ${CHECKPOINT_FOLDER} --half]

Arguments Explanation:

• hypes_yaml: the path of the training configuration file, e.g. opencood/hypes_yaml/second_early_fusion.yaml, meaning you want to train an early fusion model which utilizes SECOND as the backbone. See Tutorial 1: Config System to learn more about the rules of the yaml files.
• model_dir (optional) : the path of the checkpoints. This is used to fine-tune the trained models. When the model_dir is given, the trainer will discard the hypes_yaml and load the config.yaml in the checkpoint folder.
• half (optional): If set, the model will be trained with half precision. It cannot be set with multi-gpu training togetger.

To train on multiple gpus, run the following command:

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3 python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=4  --use_env opencood/tools/train.py --hypes_yaml ${CONFIG_FILE} [--model_dir  ${CHECKPOINT_FOLDER}]

Test the model

Before you run the following command, first make sure the validation_dir in config.yaml under your checkpoint folder refers to the testing dataset path, e.g. opv2v_data_dumping/test.

python opencood/tools/inference.py --model_dir ${CHECKPOINT_FOLDER} --fusion_method ${FUSION_STRATEGY} [--show_vis] [--show_sequence]

Arguments Explanation:

• model_dir: the path to your saved model.
• fusion_method: indicate the fusion strategy, currently support 'early', 'late', and 'intermediate'.
• show_vis: whether to visualize the detection overlay with point cloud.
• show_sequence : the detection results will visualized in a video stream. It can NOT be set with show_vis at the same time.
• global_sort_detections: whether to globally sort detections by confidence score. If set to True, it is the mainstream AP computing method, but would increase the tolerance for FP (False Positives). OPV2V paper does not perform the global sort. Please choose the consistent AP calculation method in your paper for fair comparison.

The evaluation results will be dumped in the model directory.

Benchmark and model zoo

Results on OPV2V LiDAR-track ([email protected] for no-compression/ compression)

Note:

• We suggest using PointPillar as the backbone when you are creating your method and try to compare with our benchmark, as we implement most of the SOTA methods with this backbone only.
• We assume the transimssion rate is 27Mbp/s. Considering the frequency of LiDAR is 10Hz, the bandwidth requirement should be less than 2.7Mbp to avoid severe delay.
• A 'x' in the benchmark table represents the bandwidth requirement is too large, which can not be considered to employ in practice.

Results of 3D Detection on V2XSet LiDAR-Track

Important Notes for Training in V2XSet:

1. When you train from scratch, please first set async and loc_err to false to train on perfect setting. Also, set compression to 0 at beginning.
2. After the model on perfect setting converged, set compression to 32 (please change the config yaml in your trained model directory) and continue training on the perfect setting for another 1-2 epoches.
3. Next, set async to true, async_mode to 'real', async_overhead to 200 or 300, loc_err to true, xyz_std to 0.2, rpy_std to 0.2, and then continue training your model on this noisy setting. Please note that you are free to change these noise setting during training to obtain better performance.
4. Eventually, use the model fine-tuned on noisy setting as the test model for both perfect and noisy setting.
