Quick Start

Installation

Step 0. Install pytorch(v1.9.0).

Step 1. Install MMDetection3D(v1.0.0rc4).

Step 2. Install requirements.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 3. Install BEVDepth(gpu required).

python setup.py develop

Data preparation

Step 0. Download nuScenes official dataset.

Step 1. Symlink the dataset root to ./data/.

ln -s [nuscenes root] ./data/

The directory will be as follows.

BEVDepth
├── data
│   ├── nuScenes
│   │   ├── maps
│   │   ├── samples
│   │   ├── sweeps
│   │   ├── v1.0-test
|   |   ├── v1.0-trainval

Step 2. Prepare infos.

python scripts/gen_info.py

FAQ

EMA

• The results are different between evaluation during training and evaluation from ckpt.

Due to the working mechanism of EMA, the model parameters saved by ckpt are different from the model parameters used in the training stage.

• EMA exps are unable to resume training from ckpt.

We used the customized EMA callback and this function is not supported for now.
