We propose a Guided Cost volume Excitation (GCE) and top-k soft-argmax disparity regression for real-time and accurate stereo matching.

Installation

We recommend using conda for installation:

conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate coex

Update: SceneFlow model

Model Weights

Our pre-trained SceneFlow weights can be downloaded via the following link:

[Download SceneFlow Pre-trained Weights]

Performance

Our model achieves a new SceneFlow EPE (End-Point-Error) of 0.596, improving upon the previous EPE of 0.69 reported in the original paper.

Training Details

The model was re-trained for a total of 20 epochs: First 15 epochs were trained with a learning rate of 0.001. The last 5 epochs were trained with a learning rate of 0.0001
We opted not to activate the Stochastic Weight Averaging (SWA) technique during the training process.
Batch size: 8
Precision: fp16

Datasets

Data for demo

For a demo of our code on the KITTI dataset, download the "[synced+rectified data]" from raw KITTI data. Unzip and place the extracted folders following the directory tree below.

If you want to re-train the models

Sceneflow dataset
Download the finalpass data of the Sceneflow dataset as well as the Disparity data.

KITTI 2015
Download kitti15 dataset, and unzip data_scene_flow.zip, rename it as kitti15, and move it into SceneFlow directory as shown in the tree below.

KITTI 2012
Download kitti12 dataset. Unzip data_stereo_flow.zip, rename it as kitti12, and move it into SceneFlow directory as shown in the tree below.

Make sure the directory names matches the tree below so that the dataloaders can locate the files.

Demo on KITTI raw data

The pretrained KITTI model is already included in './logs'. Run

python demo.py

to perform stereo matching on raw kitti sequence. Here is an example result on our system with RTX 2080Ti on Ubuntu 18.04.

For more demo results, check out our Project page

Re-training the model

To re-train the model, configure './configs/stereo/cfg_yaml', e.g., batch_size, paths, device num, precision, etc. Then run

python stereo.py
