hello, have you solved this problem? it seems that there are three RegionType in https://nvidia.github.io/MinkowskiEngine/common.html
i want to know if i use dim=3
, i do not need use RegionType=HYBRID
? HYBRID
just for dim=4
?
Hi, I was able to use the RegionType=HYBRID
with ME version 4.3. However, a lot of other functionalities are not available here, therefore I would like to use the hybrid kernel with the latest version.
Regarding your question: The RegionType
has nothing to do with the dimensions. The region type determines the shape of the kernel, see Fig. 3 of the paper for an example with dim=3
, dim=2
, and different kernel shapes. I think that the third region type CUSTOM
allows to build a hybrid kernel of hypercross and hypercube sub-kernels. However, it seems like the CUSTOM
region type is not yet available:
The custom region has not been ported to v0.5 yet. Sorry for the delay. I'll try to finish it in a few weeks. Originally posted by @chrischoy in https://github.com/NVIDIA/MinkowskiEngine/issues/355#issuecomment-849933126
Hello,
I too ran into the problem described in
I feel like the main problem lies in he fact, that they explain nowhere, what the region_offset is exactly and how i can construct it. Does anyone know anything about that?
I'm having the same problems... Could anyone shed some light on the changes that need to be made to https://github.com/chrischoy/SpatioTemporalSegmentation in order to make it compatible with MinkowskiEngine v0.5? @chrischoy
In Sec. 5.1 of the main paper "4D Spatio-Temporal ConvNets: Minkowski Convolutional Neural Networks", hybrid kernels are proposed to reduce the number of parameters by using a hypercubic kernel for the spatial and a hypercross kernel for the temporal dimension. However, it seems like the current version of the Minkowski Engine (0.5.4) does no longer support hybrid kernels. How can I use them?
Output:
Expected behavior As shown in the example code above, I would like to specify different kernel shapes for the spatial and temporal axis. According to the docs, this can be achieved by passing a list of
RegionType
asaxis_types
.However, this results in
It is not possible to pass
region_type=ME.RegionType.HYBRID
since the hybridRegionType
is no longer available in Minkowski Engine 0.5.4 (see above).How is the hybrid kernel of the paper implemented in the latest Minkowski Engine version?
