FADNet: A Fast and Accurate Network for Disparity Estimation

This repository will be not actively updated since we have develop an evolutional version "FADNet++". Please refer to the newer project. However, one can also use the "main" branch of this project to reproduce the experimental results.

This repository contains the code (in PyTorch) for "FADNet" paper, which has been accepted by IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation 2020 (ICRA 2020).

Introduction

We propose an efficient and accurate deep network for disparity estimation named FADNet with three main features:

Usage

Dependencies

Package Installation

We also release the docker version of this project, which has been configured completely and can be used directly. Please refer to this website for the image.

Usage of Scene Flow dataset
Download RGB cleanpass images and its disparity for three subset: FlyingThings3D, Driving, and Monkaa. Organize them as follows:
- FlyingThings3D_release/frames_cleanpass
- FlyingThings3D_release/disparity
- driving_release/frames_cleanpass
- driving_release/disparity
- monkaa_release/frames_cleanpass
- monkaa_release/disparity
Put them in the data/ folder (or soft link). The *train.sh* defaultly locates the data root path as data/.

Train

We use template scripts to configure the training task, which are stored in exp_configs. One sample "fadnet.conf" is as follows:

net=fadnet
loss=loss_configs/fadnet_sceneflow.json
outf_model=models/${net}-sceneflow
logf=logs/${net}-sceneflow.log

lr=1e-4
devices=0,1,2,3
dataset=sceneflow
trainlist=lists/SceneFlow.list
vallist=lists/FlyingThings3D_release_TEST.list
startR=0
startE=0
batchSize=16
maxdisp=-1
model=none
#model=fadnet_sceneflow.pth
Parameter Description Options
net network architecture name dispnets, dispnetc, dispnetcss, fadnet, psmnet, ganet
loss loss weight scheduling configuration file depends on the training scheme
outf_model folder name to store the model files \
logf log file name \
lr initial learning rate \
devices GPU device IDs to use depends on the hardware system
dataset dataset name to train sceneflow
train(val)list sample lists for training/validation \
startR the round index to start training (for restarting training from the checkpoint) \
startE the epoch index to start training (for restarting training from the checkpoint) \
batchSize the number of samples per batch \
maxdisp the maximum disparity that the model tries to predict \
model the model file path of the checkpoint \

We have integrated PSMNet and GANet for comparison. The sample configuration files are also given.

To start training, use the following command, dnn=CONFIG_FILE sh train.sh, such as:

dnn=fadnet sh train.sh

You do not need the suffix for CONFIG_FILE.

Evaluation

We have two modes for performance evaluation, test and detect, respectively. test requires that the testing samples should have ground truth of disparity and then reports the average End-point-error (EPE). detect does not require any ground truth for EPE computation. However, detect stores the disparity maps for each sample in the given list.

For the test mode, one can revise test.sh and run sh test.sh. The contents of test.sh are as follows:

net=fadnet
maxdisp=-1
dataset=sceneflow
trainlist=lists/SceneFlow.list
vallist=lists/FlyingThings3D_release_TEST.list

loss=loss_configs/test.json
outf_model=models/test/
logf=logs/${net}_test_on_${dataset}.log

lr=1e-4
devices=0,1,2,3
startR=0
startE=0
batchSize=8
model=models/fadnet.pth
python main.py --cuda --net $net --loss $loss --lr $lr \
               --outf $outf_model --logFile $logf \
               --devices $devices --batch_size $batchSize \
               --trainlist $trainlist --vallist $vallist \
               --dataset $dataset --maxdisp $maxdisp \
               --startRound $startR --startEpoch $startE \
               --model $model 

Most of the parameters in test.sh are similar to training. However, you can just ignore parameters, including trainlist, loss, outf_model, since they are not used in the test mode.

For the detect mode, one can revise detect.sh and run sh detect.sh. The contents of detect.sh are as follows:

net=fadnet
dataset=sceneflow

model=models/fadnet.pth
outf=detect_results/${net}-${dataset}/

filelist=lists/FlyingThings3D_release_TEST.list
filepath=data

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python detecter.py --model $model --rp $outf --filelist $filelist --filepath $filepath --devices 0 --net ${net} 

You can revise the value of outf to change the folder that stores the predicted disparity maps.

Finetuning on KITTI datasets and result submission

We re-use the codes in PSMNet to finetune the pretrained models on KITTI datasets and generate disparity maps for submission. Use finetune.sh and submission.sh to do them respectively.

Pretrained Model

Update: 2020/2/6 We released the pre-trained Scene Flow model.
