Point Transformer V2

This repo is not actively maintained. Please checkout our new codebase Pointcept.

This is a lightweight and easy-to-use codebase for point cloud recognition research supporting indoor & outdoor point cloud datasets and several backbones, namely PointCloudRecog (PCR). The next release version of PCR will further support instance segmentation, object detection, and pretraining. This is an official implementation of the following paper:

Quick Start

Training

Train from scratch. The training processing is based on configs in configs folder. The training script will generate an experiment folder in exp folder and backup essential code in the experiment folder. Training config, log, tensorboard and checkpoints will also be saved into the experiment folder during the training process.

export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=${CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES}
# Script (Recommended)
sh scripts/train.sh -p ${INTERPRETER_PATH} -g ${NUM_GPU} -d ${DATASET_NAME} -c ${CONFIG_NAME} -n ${EXP_NAME}
# Direct
export PYTHONPATH=./
python tools/train.py --config-file ${CONFIG_PATH} --num-gpus ${NUM_GPU} --options save_path=${SAVE_PATH}

For example:

# By script (Recommended)
# -p is default set as python and can be ignored
sh scripts/train.sh -p python -d scannet -c semseg-ptv2m2-0-base -n semseg-ptv2m2-0-base
# Direct
export PYTHONPATH=./
python tools/train.py --config-file configs/scannet/semseg-ptv2m2-0-base.py --options save_path=exp/scannet/semseg-ptv2m2-0-base

Resume training from checkpoint. If the training process is interrupted by accident, the following script can resume training from a given checkpoint.

export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=${CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES}
# Script (Recommended)
# simply add "-r true"
sh scripts/train.sh -p ${INTERPRETER_PATH} -g ${NUM_GPU} -d ${DATASET_NAME} -c ${CONFIG_NAME} -n ${EXP_NAME} -r true
# Direct
export PYTHONPATH=./
python tools/train.py --config-file ${CONFIG_PATH} --num-gpus ${NUM_GPU} --options save_path=${SAVE_PATH} resume=True weight=${CHECKPOINT_PATH}

Testing

The validation during training only evaluate model on point clouds after grid sampling (voxelization) and testing is need to achieve a precise evaluate result. Our testing code support TTA (test time augmentation) testing. (Currently only support testing on a single GPU, I might add support to multi-gpus testing in the future version.)

# By script (Based on experiment folder created by training script)
sh scripts/test.sh -p ${INTERPRETER_PATH} -d ${DATASET_NAME} -n ${EXP_NAME} -w ${CHECKPOINT_NAME}
# Direct
export PYTHONPATH=./
python tools/test.py --config-file ${CONFIG_PATH} --options save_path=${SAVE_PATH} weight=${CHECKPOINT_PATH}

For example:

# By script (Based on experiment folder created by training script)
# -p is default set as python and can be ignored
# -w is default set as model_best and can be ignored
sh scripts/test.sh -p python -d scannet -n semseg-ptv2m2-0-base -w model_best
# Direct
export PYTHONPATH=./
python tools/test.py --config-file configs/scannet/semseg-ptv2m2-0-base.py --options save_path=exp/scannet/semseg-ptv2m2-0-base weight=exp/scannet/semseg-ptv2m2-0-base/models/model_best.pth

Offset

Offset is the separator of point clouds in batch data, and it is similar to the concept of Batch in PyG. A visual illustration of batch and offset is as follows:

Model Zoo

The PCR codebase supports most combinations of supporting datasets and models, and I haven't tested and tuned all the combinations. Consequently, I list configs for some of them. It would be helpful to reach me if you find a better setting.

Currently, PCR only focuses on semantic segmentation, but in the next version, I will introduce the hook mechanism to support pretraining, instance segmentation, and object detection. The released version contains some code for classification, but I did not maintain it since object-level recognition is quite different from scene-level recognition. I will focus more on the scene-level point clouds. Nevertheless, the code framework support object classification. If you want to run classification tasks, you can modify the codebase from these unmaintained codes for object classification.

Recommendations:

PTv2m2 (good performance)
SparseUNet-SpConv (fast, lightweight and easy to install)

(Please email me your recommendations, I might add support in a future version)

Point Transformer V1 & V2

PTv2 mode2 (recommend)

The original PTv2 was trained on 4 RTX a6000 (48G memory). Even enabling AMP, the memory cost of the original PTv2 is slightly larger than 24G. Considering GPUs with 24G memory are much more accessible, I tuned the PTv2 on the latest PCR codebase and made it runnable on 4 RTX 3090 machines.

PTv2 Mode2 enables AMP and disables Position Encoding Multiplier & Grouped Linear. During our further research, we found that precise coordinates are not necessary for point cloud understanding (Replacing precise coordinates with grid coordinates doesn't influence the performance. Also, SparseUNet is an example). As for Grouped Linear, my implementation of Grouped Linear seems to cost more memory than the Linear layer provided by PyTorch. Benefiting from the codebase and better parameter tuning, we also relieve the overfitting problem. The reproducing performance is even better than the results reported in our paper.

Example running script is as follows:

# ptv2m2: PTv2 mode2, disable PEM & Grouped Linear, GPU memory cost < 24G (recommend)
# ScanNet
sh scripts/train.sh -g 4 -d scannet -c semseg-ptv2m2-0-base -n semseg-ptv2m2-0-base
# ScanNet test benchmark (train on train set and val set)
sh scripts/train.sh -g 4 -d scannet -c semseg-ptv2m2-1-benchmark-submit -n semseg-ptv2m2-1-benchmark-submit
# ScanNet200
sh scripts/train.sh -g 4 -d scannet200 -c semseg-ptv2m2-0-base -n semseg-ptv2m2-0-base
# S3DIS
sh scripts/train.sh -g 4 -d s3dis -c semseg-ptv2m2-0-base -n semseg-ptv2m2-0-base

Example training and testing records are as follows:

Dataset	mIoU	mAcc	allAcc	Config	Train	Test	Tensorboard
ScanNet v2 20	75.5	82.9	91.2	config	log	log	tensorboard
ScanNet v2 200	31.9	39.2	82.7	config	log	log	tensorboard
S3DIS Area 5	72.6	78.0	91.6	config	log	log	tensorboard

*Dataset represents reported results from an older version of the PCR codebase.

PTv2 mode1

PTv2 mode1 is the original PTv2 we reported in our paper, example running script is as follows:

# ptv2m1: PTv2 mode1, Original PTv2, GPU memory cost > 24G
# ScanNet
sh scripts/train.sh -g 4 -d scannet -c semseg-ptv2m1-0-base -n semseg-ptv2m1-0-base
# ScanNet200
sh scripts/train.sh -g 4 -d scannet200 -c semseg-ptv2m1-0-base -n semseg-ptv2m1-0-base
# S3DIS
sh scripts/train.sh -g 4 -d s3dis -c semseg-ptv2m1-0-base -n semseg-ptv2m1-0-base

PTv1

The original PTv1 is also available in our PCR codebase. I haven't run PTv1 for a long time, but I have ensured that the example running script works well.

# ScanNet
sh scripts/train.sh -g 4 -d scannet -c semseg-ptv1-0-base -n semseg-ptv1-0-base
# ScanNet200
sh scripts/train.sh -g 4 -d scannet200 -c semseg-ptv1-0-base -n semseg-ptv1-0-base
# S3DIS
sh scripts/train.sh -g 4 -d s3dis -c semseg-ptv1-0-base -n semseg-ptv1-0-base

Stratified Transformer

Uncomment # from .stratified_transformer import * in pcr/models/__init__.py.
Refer Optional Installation to install dependence.

Training with the following example running scripts:


# stv1m1: Stratified Transformer mode1, Modified from the original Stratified Transformer code.
# ptv2m2: Stratified Transformer mode2, My rewrite version (recommend).

ScanNet

sh scripts/train.sh -g 4 -d scannet -c semseg-stv1m2-0-refined -n semseg-stv1m2-0-refined sh scripts/train.sh -g 4 -d scannet -c semseg-stv1m1-0-origin -n semseg-stv1m1-0-origin

ScanNet200

sh scripts/train.sh -g 4 -d scannet200 -c semseg-stv1m2-0-refined -n semseg-stv1m2-0-refined

S3DIS

sh scripts/train.sh -g 4 -d s3dis -c semseg-stv1m2-0-refined -n semseg-stv1m2-0-refined

*I did not tune the parameters for Stratified Transformer and just ensured it could run.*

### SparseUNet

The PCR codebase provides `SparseUNet` implemented by `SpConv` and `MinkowskiEngine`. The SpConv version is recommended since SpConv is easy to install and faster than MinkowskiEngine. Meanwhile, the PCR codebase will add more support to instance segmentation and object detection in the future version. SpConv is also widely applied in these areas.

- **SpConv (recommend)**

The SpConv version `SparseUNet` in the codebase was fully rewrite from [Li Jiang](https://llijiang.github.io/)'s code, example running script is as follows:

```bash
# Uncomment "# from .sparse_unet import *" in "pcr/models/__init__.py"
# Uncomment "# from .spconv_unet import *" in "pcr/models/sparse_unet/__init__.py"
# ScanNet val
sh scripts/train.sh -g 4 -d scannet -c semseg-spunet34c-0-base -n semseg-spunet34c-0-base
# ScanNet200
sh scripts/train.sh -g 4 -d scannet200 -c semseg-spunet34c-0-base -n semseg-spunet34c-0-base
# S3DIS
sh scripts/train.sh -g 4 -d s3dis -c semseg-spunet34c-0-base -n semseg-spunet34c-0-base
# Semantic-KITTI
sh scripts/train.sh -g 2 -d semantic-kitti -c semseg-spunet34c-0-base -n semseg-spunet34c-0-base

Example training and testing records are as follows:

Dataset	mIoU	mAcc	allAcc	Config	Train	Test	Tensorboard
ScanNet v2 20	73.6	82.2	90.4	config	log	log	tensorboard
ScanNet v2 200	28.8	36.1	81.1	config	log	log	tensorboard
S3DIS Area 5	67.7	73.1	90.1	config	log	log	tensorboard

*Dataset represents reported results from an older version of the PCR codebase.

MinkowskiEngine

The MinkowskiEngine version SparseUNet in the codebase was modified from original MinkowskiEngine repo, and example running script is as follows:

# Uncomment "# from .sparse_unet import *" in "pcr/models/__init__.py"
# Uncomment "# from .mink_unet import *" in "pcr/models/sparse_unet/__init__.py"
# ScanNet
sh scripts/train.sh -g 4 -d scannet -c semseg-minkunet34c-0-base -n semseg-minkunet34c-0-base
