Changelog

[2021-03-16] CaDDN v0.3.0 is released.

Introduction

What does CaDDN do?

CaDDN is a general PyTorch-based method for 3D object detection from monocular images. At the time of submission, CaDDN achieved first 1st place among published monocular methods on the Kitti 3D object detection benchmark. We welcome contributions to this project.

CaDDN design pattern

We inherit the design pattern from [OpenPCDet].

• Data-Model separation with unified point cloud coordinate for easily extending to custom datasets:

• Unified 3D box definition: (x, y, z, dx, dy, dz, heading).

Model Zoo

KITTI 3D Object Detection Baselines

Selected supported methods are shown in the below table. The results are the 3D detection performance of Car class on the val set of KITTI dataset.

• All models are trained with 2 Tesla T4 GPUs and are available for download.
• The training time is measured with 2 Tesla T4 GPUs and PyTorch 1.4.
