bathy_nn_learning

Introduction

This repository is intended for loop closure detection and feature matching in the context of Multibeam Echo Sounders (MBES).

Dependencies

• Python 3.8
• PyTorch 1.10
• PyTorch Geometric 2.0
• opencv, wandb, shapely, open3d, AUVLib (original repo)

Install the June 2022 version of AUVLib here:

git clone -b extended_bm [email protected]:ignaciotb/auvlib.git

For details, please refer to requirements.txt (for pip) or environment.yml (for conda).

Recommended for baseline: PCL 1.10 or its python binding

Data

Datasets are available for download here datasets

Usage

Step 1: Run scripts/parse_cereal.py to parse cereal data.

Step 2.1 - 2.3: Run other scripts in scripts/ to create datasets.

Step 3: Run train.py to train a model. (Modify param.py properly.)

Step 4: Run scripts in test/ to evaluate the model.
