# OpenPCDet

`OpenPCDet` is a clear, simple, self-contained open source project for LiDAR-based 3D object detection. 

It is also the official code release of [`[PointRCNN]`](https://arxiv.org/abs/1812.04244), [`[Part-A^2 net]`](https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.03670) and [`[PV-RCNN]`](https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.13192).

## Changelog
[2020-11-27] **Bugfixed:** Please re-prepare the validation infos of Waymo dataset (version 1.2) if you would like to 
use our provided Waymo evaluation tool (see [PR](https://github.com/open-mmlab/OpenPCDet/pull/383)). 
Note that you do not need to re-prepare the training data and ground-truth database. 

[2020-11-10] **NEW:** The [Waymo Open Dataset](#waymo-open-dataset-baselines) has been supported with state-of-the-art results. Currently we provide the 
configs and results of `SECOND`, `PartA2` and `PV-RCNN` on the Waymo Open Dataset, and more models could be easily supported by modifying their dataset configs. 

[2020-08-10] Bugfixed: The provided NuScenes models have been updated to fix the loading bugs. Please redownload it if you need to use the pretrained NuScenes models.

[2020-07-30] `OpenPCDet` v0.3.0 is released with the following features:
   * The Point-based and Anchor-Free models ([`PointRCNN`](#KITTI-3D-Object-Detection-Baselines), [`PartA2-Free`](#KITTI-3D-Object-Detection-Baselines)) are supported now.
   * The NuScenes dataset is supported with strong baseline results ([`SECOND-MultiHead (CBGS)`](#NuScenes-3D-Object-Detection-Baselines) and [`PointPillar-MultiHead`](#NuScenes-3D-Object-Detection-Baselines)).
   * High efficiency than last version, support **PyTorch 1.1~1.7** and **spconv 1.0~1.2** simultaneously.
   
[2020-07-17]  Add simple visualization codes and a quick demo to test with custom data. 

[2020-06-24] `OpenPCDet` v0.2.0 is released with pretty new structures to support more models and datasets. 

[2020-03-16] `OpenPCDet` v0.1.0 is released. 


## Introduction


### What does `OpenPCDet` toolbox do?

Note that we have upgrated `PCDet` from `v0.1` to `v0.2` with pretty new structures to support various datasets and models.

`OpenPCDet` is a general PyTorch-based codebase for 3D object detection from point cloud. 
It currently supports multiple state-of-the-art 3D object detection methods with highly refactored codes for both one-stage and two-stage 3D detection frameworks.

Based on `OpenPCDet` toolbox, we win the Waymo Open Dataset challenge in [3D Detection](https://waymo.com/open/challenges/3d-detection/), 
[3D Tracking](https://waymo.com/open/challenges/3d-tracking/), [Domain Adaptation](https://waymo.com/open/challenges/domain-adaptation/) 
three tracks among all LiDAR-only methods, and the Waymo related models will be released to `OpenPCDet` soon.    

We are actively updating this repo currently, and more datasets and models will be supported soon. 
Contributions are also welcomed. 

### `OpenPCDet` design pattern

* Data-Model separation with unified point cloud coordinate for easily extending to custom datasets:
<p align="center">
  <img src="docs/dataset_vs_model.png" width="95%" height="320">
</p>

* Unified 3D box definition: (x, y, z, dx, dy, dz, heading).

* Flexible and clear model structure to easily support various 3D detection models:

* Support various models within one framework as:

### Waymo Open Dataset Baselines
We provide the setting of [`DATA_CONFIG.SAMPLED_INTERVAL`](tools/cfgs/dataset_configs/waymo_dataset.yaml) on the Waymo Open Dataset (WOD) to subsample partial samples for training and evaluation, 
so you could also play with WOD by setting a smaller `DATA_CONFIG.SAMPLED_INTERVAL` even if you only have limited GPU resources. 

By default, all models are trained with **20% data (~32k frames)** of all the training samples on 8 GTX 1080Ti GPUs, and the results of each cell here are mAP/mAPH calculated by the official Waymo evaluation metrics on the **whole** validation set (version 1.2).

We could not provide the above pretrained models due to [Waymo Dataset License Agreement](https://waymo.com/open/terms/), 
but you could easily achieve similar performance by training with the default configs.



### Other datasets
More datasets are on the way.

## Acknowledgement
`OpenPCDet` is an open source project for LiDAR-based 3D scene perception that supports multiple
LiDAR-based perception models as shown above. Some parts of `PCDet` are learned from the official released codes of the above supported methods. 
We would like to thank for their proposed methods and the official implementation.   

We hope that this repo could serve as a strong and flexible codebase to benefit the research community by speeding up the process of reimplementing previous works and/or developing new methods.
