PyDNet & PyDNet2

Update:

If you are looking Android/iOS implementations of PyDnet, take a look here: https://github.com/FilippoAleotti/mobilePydnet

Update v2:

Demo code for PyDNet2 has been included!

This repository contains the source code of PyDNet, proposed in the paper "Towards real-time unsupervised monocular depth estimation on CPU", IROS 2018, and PyDNet2, proposed in the paper "Real-Time Self-Supervised Monocular Depth Estimation Without GPU", T-ITS. If you use this code in your projects, please cite our paper:

PyDNet

PyDNet2

Requirements

• Tensorflow 1.8 (recommended)
• python packages such as opencv, matplotlib

Run pydnet on webcam stream

To run PyDNet or PyDNet2, just launch

python webcam.py --model [pydnet,pydnet2] --resolution [1,2,3]

Train pydnet from scratch

Requirements

• monodepth (https://github.com/mrharicot/monodepth) framework by Clément Godard

After you have cloned the monodepth repository, add to it the scripts contained in training_code folder from this repository (you have to replace the original monodepth_model.py script). Then you can train pydnet inside monodepth framework.

Evaluate pydnet on Eigen split

To get results on the Eigen split, just run

python experiments.py --datapath PATH_TO_KITTI --filenames PATH_TO_FILELIST --checkpoint_dir checkpoint/IROS18/pydnet --resolution [1,2,3]

This script generates disparity.npy, that can be evaluated using the evaluation tools by Clément Godard
