ICRA 2019 "Self-supervised Sparse-to-Dense: Self-supervised Depth Completion from LiDAR and Monocular Camera"

self-supervised-depth-completion

This repo is the PyTorch implementation of our ICRA'19 paper on "Self-supervised Sparse-to-Dense: Self-supervised Depth Completion from LiDAR and Monocular Camera", developed by Fangchang Ma, Guilherme Venturelli Cavalheiro, and Sertac Karaman at MIT. A video demonstration is available on YouTube.

Our network is trained with the KITTI dataset alone, without pretraining on Cityscapes or other similar driving dataset (either synthetic or real). The use of additional data is likely to further improve the accuracy.

Please create a new issue for code-related questions.

Dependency

This code was tested with Python 3 and PyTorch 1.0 on Ubuntu 16.04.

pip install numpy matplotlib Pillow
pip install torch torchvision # pytorch

# for self-supervised training requires opencv, along with the contrib modules
pip install opencv-contrib-python==3.4.2.16

Data

• Download the KITTI Depth Dataset from their website. Use the following scripts to extract corresponding RGB images from the raw dataset.

./download/rgb_train_downloader.sh
./download/rgb_val_downloader.sh

The downloaded rgb files will be stored in the ../data/data_rgb folder. The overall code, data, and results directory is structured as follows (updated on Oct 1, 2019)

Trained Models

Download our trained models at http://datasets.lids.mit.edu/self-supervised-depth-completion to a folder of your choice.

• supervised training (i.e., models trained with semi-dense lidar ground truth): http://datasets.lids.mit.edu/self-supervised-depth-completion/supervised/
• self-supervised (i.e., photometric loss + sparse depth loss + smoothness loss): http://datasets.lids.mit.edu/self-supervised-depth-completion/self-supervised/

Commands

A complete list of training options is available with

python main.py -h

For instance,

# train with the KITTI semi-dense annotations, rgbd input, and batch size 1
python main.py --train-mode dense -b 1 --input rgbd

# train with the self-supervised framework, not using ground truth
python main.py --train-mode sparse+photo 

# resume previous training
python main.py --resume [checkpoint-path] 

# test the trained model on the val_selection_cropped data
python main.py --evaluate [checkpoint-path] --val select
