• Please link your nuScenes V1.0 full dataset to the data folder.
• nuScenes-Occupancy, nuscenes_occ_infos_train.pkl, and nuscenes_occ_infos_val.pkl are also provided by the previous work. If you only want to reproduce the forecasting results with "inflated" form, nuScenes dataset and Cam4DOcc are all you need.

• Please link your Lyft dataset to the data folder.
• The required folders are listed below.

Note that the folders under cam4docc will be generated automatically once you first run our training or evaluation scripts.

Alternatively, you could manually modify the path parameters in the config files instead of using the default data structure, which are also listed here:

occ_path = "./data/nuScenes-Occupancy"
depth_gt_path = './data/depth_gt'
train_ann_file = "./data/nuscenes/nuscenes_occ_infos_train.pkl"
val_ann_file = "./data/nuscenes/nuscenes_occ_infos_val.pkl"
cam4docc_dataset_path = "./data/cam4docc/"
nusc_root = './data/nuscenes/'

We directly integrate the Cam4DOcc dataset generation pipeline into the dataloader, so you can directly run training or evaluate scripts and just wait 😏

Optionally, you can set only_generate_dataset=True in the config files to only generate the Cam4DOcc data without model training and inference.

OCFNetV1.1 can forecast inflated GMO and others. In this case, vehicle and human are considered as one unified category.

For the nuScenes dataset, please run

bash run.sh ./projects/configs/baselines/OCFNet_in_Cam4DOcc_V1.1.py 8

For the Lyft dataset, please run

bash run.sh ./projects/configs/baselines/OCFNet_in_Cam4DOcc_V1.1_lyft.py 8

OCFNetV1.2 can forecast inflated GMO including bicycle, bus, car, construction, motorcycle, trailer, truck, pedestrian, and others. In this case, vehicle and human are divided into multiple categories for clearer evaluation on forecasting performance.

For the nuScenes dataset, please run

bash run.sh ./projects/configs/baselines/OCFNet_in_Cam4DOcc_V1.2.py 8

For the Lyft dataset, please run

bash run.sh ./projects/configs/baselines/OCFNet_in_Cam4DOcc_V1.2_lyft.py 8

• The training/test process will be accelerated several times after you generate datasets by the first epoch.

If you only want to test the performance of occupancy prediction for the present frame (current observation), please set test_present=True in the config files. Otherwise, forecasting performance on the future interval is evaluated.

bash run_eval.sh $PATH_TO_CFG $PATH_TO_CKPT $GPU_NUM
# e.g. bash run_eval.sh ./projects/configs/baselines/OCFNet_in_Cam4DOcc_V1.1.py ./work_dirs/OCFNet_in_Cam4DOcc_V1.1/epoch_20.pth  8

Please set save_pred and save_path in the config files once saving prediction results is needed.

VPQ evaluation of 3D instance prediction will be refined in the future.

Please install the dependencies as follows:

sudo apt-get install Xvfb
pip install xvfbwrapper
pip install mayavi

where Xvfb may be needed for visualization in your server.

Visualize ground-truth occupancy labels. Set show_time_change = True if you want to show the changing state of occupancy in time intervals.

cd viz
python viz_gt.py

Visualize occupancy forecasting results. Set show_time_change = True if you want to show the changing state of occupancy in time intervals.

cd viz
python viz_pred.py

There is still room for improvement. Camera-only 4D occupancy forecasting remains challenging, especially for predicting over longer time intervals with many moving objects. We envision this benchmark as a valuable evaluation tool, and our OCFNet can serve as a foundational codebase for future research on 4D occupancy forecasting.

Some basic information as well as key parameters for our current version.

Our proposed OCFNet can still perform well while being trained with partial data. Please try to decrease train_capacity if you want to explore more details with sparser supervision signals.

In addition, please make sure that n_future_frames_plus <= time_receptive_field + n_future_frames because n_future_frames_plus means the real prediction number. We estimate more frames including the past ones rather than only n_future_frames.

Please download our pretrained models (for epoch=20) to resume training or reproduce results.

We also provide the evaluation on the forecasting performance of other baselines in Cam4DOcc.

The tutorial is being updated ...

We will release our pretrained models as soon as possible. OCFNetV1.3 and OCFNetV2 are on their way ...

We thank the fantastic works OpenOccupancy, PowerBEV, and FIERY for their pioneer code release, which provide codebase for this benchmark.
