Self-Supervised Monocular Scene Flow Estimation (CVPR 2020)

Self-Supervised Monocular Scene Flow Estimation

3D visualization of estimated depth and scene flow from two temporally consecutive images.
Intermediate frames are interpolated using the estimated scene flow. (fine-tuned model, tested on KITTI Benchmark)

This repository is the official PyTorch implementation of the paper:

Getting started

This code has been developed with Anaconda (Python 3.7), PyTorch 1.2.0 and CUDA 10.0 on Ubuntu 16.04.
Based on a fresh Anaconda distribution and PyTorch installation, following packages need to be installed:

pip install tensorboard
pip install pypng==0.0.18

Then, please excute the following to install the Correlation and Forward Warping layer:

./install_modules.sh

For PyTorch version > 1.3
Please put the align_corners=True flag in the grid_sample function in the following files:

augmentations.py
losses.py
models/modules_sceneflow.py
utils/sceneflow_util.py

Dataset

Please download the following to datasets for the experiment:

• KITTI Raw Data (synced+rectified data, please refer MonoDepth2 for downloading all data more easily)
• KITTI Scene Flow 2015

To save space, we also convert the KITTI Raw png images to jpeg, following the convention from MonoDepth:

find (data_folder)/ -name '*.png' | parallel 'convert {.}.png {.}.jpg && rm {}'

We also converted images in KITTI Scene Flow 2015 as well. Please convert the png images in image_2 and image_3 into jpg and save them into the seperate folder image_2_jpg and image_3_jpg.

To save space further, you can delete the velodyne point data in KITTI raw data and optionally download the Eigen Split Projected Depth for the monocular depth evaluation on the Eigen Split. We converted the velodyne point data of the Eigen Test images in the numpy array format using code from MonoDepth. After downloading and unzipping it, you can merge with the KITTI raw data folder.

• Eigen Split Projected Depth

Training and Inference

The scripts folder contains training/inference scripts of all experiments demonstrated in the paper (including ablation study).

For training, you can simply run the following script files:

Script	Training	Dataset
./train_monosf_selfsup_kitti_raw.sh	Self-supervised	KITTI Split
./train_monosf_selfsup_eigen_train.sh	Self-supervised	Eigen Split

Fine-tuning is done in two stages: (i) first finding the stopping point using train/valid split, and then (ii) fune-tuning using all data with the found iteration steps.

Script	Training	Dataset
./train_monosf_kitti_finetune_1st_stage.sh	Semi-supervised finetuning	KITTI raw + KITTI 2015
./train_monosf_kitti_finetune_2st_stage.sh	Semi-supervised finetuning	KITTI raw + KITTI 2015

In the script files, please configure these following PATHs for experiments:

• EXPERIMENTS_HOME : your own experiment directory where checkpoints and log files will be saved.
• KITTI_RAW_HOME : the directory where KITTI raw data is located in your local system.
• KITTI_HOME : the directory where KITTI Scene Flow 2015 is located in your local system.
• KITTI_COMB_HOME : the directory where both KITTI Scene Flow 2015 and KITTI raw data are located.

For testing the pretrained models, you can simply run the following script files:

Script	Task	Training	Dataset
./eval_monosf_selfsup_kitti_train.sh	MonoSceneFlow	Self-supervised	KITTI 2015 Train
./eval_monosf_selfsup_kitti_test.sh	MonoSceneFlow	Self-supervised	KITTI 2015 Test
./eval_monosf_finetune_kitti_test.sh	MonoSceneFlow	fine-tuned	KITTI 2015 Test
./eval_monodepth_selfsup_kitti_train.sh	MonoDepth	Self-supervised	KITTI test split
./eval_monodepth_selfsup_eigen_test.sh	MonoDepth	Self-supervised	Eigen test split

• Testing on KITTI 2015 Test gives output images for uploading on the KITTI Scene Flow 2015 Benchmark.
• To save output image, please turn on --save_disp=True, --save_disp2=True, and --save_flow=True in the script.

Pretrained Models

The checkpoints folder contains the checkpoints of the pretrained models.
