Training

SemanticKITTI

You can run the training with

cd <root dir of this repo>
python main.py --log_dir 2DPASS_semkitti --config config/2DPASS-semantickitti.yaml --gpu 0

The output will be written to logs/SemanticKITTI/2DPASS_semkitti by default.

NuScenes

cd <root dir of this repo>
python main.py --log_dir 2DPASS_nusc --config config/2DPASS-nuscenese.yaml --gpu 0 1 2 3

Vanilla Training without 2DPASS

We take SemanticKITTI as an example.

cd <root dir of this repo>
python main.py --log_dir baseline_semkitti --config config/2DPASS-semantickitti.yaml --gpu 0 --baseline_only

Testing

You can run the testing with

cd <root dir of this repo>
python main.py --config config/2DPASS-semantickitti.yaml --gpu 0 --test --num_vote 12 --checkpoint <dir for the pytorch checkpoint>

Here, num_vote is the number of views for the test-time-augmentation (TTA). We set this value to 12 as default (on a Tesla-V100 GPU), and if you use other GPUs with smaller memory, you can choose a smaller value. num_vote=1 denotes there is no TTA used, and will cause about ~2% performance drop.

Robustness Evaluation

Please download all subsets of SemanticKITTI-C from this link and extract them.

You can run the robustness evaluation with

cd <root dir of this repo>
python robust_test.py --config config/2DPASS-semantickitti.yaml --gpu 0  --num_vote 12 --checkpoint <dir for the pytorch checkpoint>

Model Zoo

You can download the models with the scores below from this Google drive folder.

SemanticKITTI

Here, we fine-tune 2DPASS models on SemanticKITTI with more epochs and thus gain the higher mIoU. If you train with 64 epochs, it should be gained about 66%/69% for vanilla and 69%/71% after TTA.

NuScenes

Note that the results on benchmarks are gained by training with additional validation set and using instance-level augmentation.
