[ECCV2022] Position Embedding Transformation for Multi-View 3D Object Detection

[ICCV2023] PETRv2: A Unified Framework for 3D Perception from Multi-Camera Images

This repository is an official implementation of PETR and PETRv2. The flash attention version can be find from the "flash" branch.

PETR develops position embedding transformation (PETR) for multi-view 3D object detection. PETR encodes the position information of 3D coordinates into image features, producing the 3D position-aware features. Object query can perceive the 3D position-aware features and perform end-to-end object detection. It can serve as a simple yet strong baseline for future research.

PETRv2 is a unified framework for 3D perception from multi-view images. Based on PETR, PETRv2 explores the effectiveness of temporal modeling, which utilizes the temporal information of previous frames to boost 3D object detection. The 3D PE achieves the temporal alignment on object position of different frames. A feature-guided position encoder is further introduced to improve the data adaptability of 3D PE. To support for high-quality BEV segmentation, PETRv2 provides a simply yet effective solution by adding a set of segmentation queries. Each segmentation query is responsible for segmenting one specific patch of BEV map. PETRv2 achieves state-of-the-art performance on 3D object detection and BEV segmentation.

Preparation

This implementation is built upon detr3d, and can be constructed as the install.md.

• Environments
  Linux, Python==3.6.8, CUDA == 11.2, pytorch == 1.9.0, mmdet3d == 0.17.1

• Detection Data
  Follow the mmdet3d to process the nuScenes dataset (https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmdetection3d/blob/master/docs/en/data_preparation.md).

• Segmentation Data
  Download Map expansion from nuScenes dataset (https://www.nuscenes.org/nuscenes#download). Extract the contents (folders basemap, expansion and prediction) to your nuScenes maps folder.
  Then build Segmentation dataset:

  cd tools
  python build-dataset.py
  

  If you want to train the segmentation task immediately, we privided the processed data ( HDmaps-final.tar ) at gdrive. The processed info files of segmentation can also be find at gdrive.

• Pretrained weights
  To verify the performance on the val set, we provide the pretrained V2-99 weights. The V2-99 is pretrained on DDAD15M (weights) and further trained on nuScenes train set with FCOS3D. For the results on test set in the paper, we use the DD3D pretrained weights. The ImageNet pretrained weights of other backbone can be found here. Please put the pretrained weights into ./ckpts/.

Main Results

PETR: We provide some results on nuScenes val set with pretrained models. These model are trained on 8x 2080ti without cbgs. Note that the models and logs are also available at Baidu Netdisk with code petr.

PETRv2: We provide a 3D object detection baseline and a BEV segmentation baseline with two frames. The model is trained on 8x 2080ti without cbgs. The processed info files contain 30 previous frames, whose transformation matrix is aligned with the current frame. The info files, models and logs are also available at Baidu Netdisk with code petr.

StreamPETR: Stream-PETR achieves significant performance improvements without introducing extra computation cost, compared to the single-frame baseline.
