_{Multimodal future predictions by our bird’s-eye view network.
Top two rows: RGB camera inputs. The predicted future trajectories and segmentations are projected to the ground plane in the images.
Bottom row: future instance prediction in bird’s-eye view in a 100m×100m capture size around the ego-vehicle, which is indicated by a black rectangle in the center.}

⚙ Setup

• Create the conda environment by running conda env create.

🏄 Prediction

Visualisation

In a colab notebook:

Or locally:

• Download pre-trained weights.
• Run python visualise.py --checkpoint ${CHECKPOINT_PATH}. This will render predictions from the network and save them to an output_vis folder.

Evaluation

• Download the NuScenes dataset. For detailed instructions, see DATASET.md.
• Download pre-trained weights.
• Run python evaluate.py --checkpoint ${CHECKPOINT_PATH} --dataroot ${NUSCENES_DATAROOT}.

🔥 Pre-trained models

All the configs are in the folder fiery/configs

Config and weights	Dataset	Past context	Future horizon	BEV size	IoU	VPQ
baseline.yml	NuScenes	1.0s	2.0s	100mx100m (50cm res.)	36.7	29.9

literature/fishing_setting.yml	NuScenes	1.0s	2.0s	32.0mx19.2m (10cm res.)	57.6	-

🏊 Training

To train the model from scratch on NuScenes:

• Download the NuScenes dataset. For detailed instructions, see DATASET.md.
• Run python train.py --config fiery/configs/baseline.yml DATASET.DATAROOT ${NUSCENES_DATAROOT}.

This will train the model on 4 GPUs, each with a batch of size 3. To train on single GPU add the flag GPUS 1, and to change the batch size use the flag BATCHSIZE ${DESIRED_BATCHSIZE}.
