The training dataset prepareation

[qianduoduolr]

Hi, I am following your work to prepare the training data for MOVI-f. Could you please give more details about the instructions for annotation generation?

I generally follow the function create_kubric_eval_train_dataset in this link, and set the train_size=(512,512) and tracks_to_sample=2000 in create_point_tracking_dataset. Besides, I also modify the 'movi_e/256x256' in this link in order to generate MOVI-f.

Is that right?

[nikitakaraevv]

Hi @qianduoduolr, these are the settings that we used to prepare 11000 training sequences for Kubric MOVI-f:

create_point_tracking_dataset(
  train_size=(512, 512),
  shuffle_buffer_size=None,
  split="train",
  batch_dims=tuple(),
  repeat=True,
  vflip=False,
  random_crop=True,
  tracks_to_sample=2048,
  sampling_stride=4,
  max_seg_id=25,
  max_sampled_frac=0.1,
  num_parallel_point_extraction_calls=16
)

Most of these sequences are repeated with different crops because we used repeat=True and random_crop=True.

[qianduoduolr]

Thanks for your reply. Do you modify the 'movi_e/256x256' in this link to movi_f ?

[nikitakaraevv]

As far as I remember, we had to download the dataset first for it to work. Then, we load MOVI-f (not MOVI-e) from a local path.

[qianduoduolr]

Ok, thanks, I will try later.

Hi @nikitakaraevv, can you provide the link to download the MOVI-f data you used? Did you simply run create_point_tracking_dataset() with the mentioned parameters to generate annotations on the dataset? How was the file structure used for training?

FYI, it seems like the description in the main README for generation of annotation is not complete. It is at least not so easy to follow, although I might miss something here...

Thanks for your help!

Hello @nikitakaraevv and @ernestchu, I'm encountering the same problem that @Anderstask1 described in the previous post. Could you please take a look and let us know if there's any update or potential solution on the horizon? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

[nikitakaraevv]

Hi @Anderstask1 and @NEbrahimi, I apologize for missing your messages as the issue was closed. I modified this function:

https://github.com/google-research/kubric/blob/e140e24e078d5e641c4ac10bf25743059bd059ce/challenges/point_tracking/dataset.py#L992

Here are the changes I made:

import torch
from PIL import Image

dataset_dir = "./kubric_movi_f"
os.makedirs(dataset_dir, exist_ok=True)

ds = tfds.as_numpy(create_point_tracking_dataset(
  train_size=(512, 512),
  shuffle_buffer_size=None,
  split="train",
  batch_dims=tuple(),
  repeat=True,
  vflip=False,
  random_crop=True,
  tracks_to_sample=2048,
  sampling_stride=4,
  max_seg_id=25,
  max_sampled_frac=0.1,
  num_parallel_point_extraction_calls=16
))

for i, data in enumerate(ds):
    print(i)
    seq_num = "0" * (4 - len(str(i))) + str(i)
    os.makedirs(os.path.join(dataset_dir, seq_num), exist_ok=True)
    os.makedirs(os.path.join(dataset_dir, seq_num, "frames"), exist_ok=True)
    for i_frame, frame in enumerate(data["video"]):
        Image.fromarray((((frame + 1) / 2.0) * 255.0).astype("uint8")).save(
            os.path.join(dataset_dir, seq_num, "frames", f"{i_frame:03d}.png")
        )
    traj_annots = {"coords": data["target_points"], "visibility": data["occluded"]}
    np.save(os.path.join(dataset_dir, seq_num, seq_num + ".npy"), traj_annots)

    # visualize res
    disp = plot_tracks(
        data["video"] * 0.5 + 0.5, data["target_points"], data["occluded"]
    )
    media.write_video(os.path.join(dataset_dir, f"{seq_num}.mp4"), disp, fps=10)

Then I just ran python dataset.py to create point tracking annotations.

Hi @nikitakaraevv, I'm encountering the same problem that @Anderstask1 described in the previous post. When I ran python dataset.py, I got the message as follows and there was no data downloaded,

How to solve it or can you provide the link to download the training data you used? Thanks for your help!

[nikitakaraevv]

Hi @wwsource, I also had this problem. I had to install gsutil and download Kubric locally first with gsutil -m cp -r gs://kubric-public/tfds/movi_f ./kubric_movi_f. Then I was able to load it with:

ds = tfds.load(
        "512x512",
        data_dir=f"./kubric_movi_f",
        shuffle_files=shuffle_buffer_size is not None,
        download=False,
        **kwargs,
    )

[rogerioagjr]

Hi @nikitakaraevv,

I simply downloaded the dataset.py script and updated the main function with the modifications you suggested.

When I tried running dataset.py, I got the following error:

tensorflow.python.framework.errors_impl.InvalidArgumentError: 
{{function_node__wrapped__IteratorGetNext_output_types_4_device_/
job:localhost/replica:0/task:0/device:CPU:0}} 
Incompatible shapes at component 0: expected [2048,24] but got [924,24]. 
[Op:IteratorGetNext] name:

Then I changed tracks_to_sample=2048 to tracks_to_sample=924 when calling create_point_tracking_dataset. With that, it ran for 11 iterations of the loop, but eventually failed with the following error:

tensorflow.python.framework.errors_impl.InvalidArgumentError:
{{function_node__wrapped__IteratorGetNext_output_types_4_device_/
job:localhost/replica:0/task:0/device:CPU:0}} 
Incompatible shapes at component 0: expected [924,24] but got [810,24]. 
[Op:IteratorGetNext] name: 

Do you have any suggestions on what I should do or what I might have done wrong?

Also, the file structure that was being generated seemed wrong for the train.py script, since no kubric_movi_f/movi_f/frames directory was being created, but a bunch of kubric_movi_f/0000/frames, kubric_movi_f/0001/frames, kubric_movi_f/0002/frames, etc, one per iteration of the loop. This behavior seems expected from dataset.py since you do:

os.makedirs(os.path.join(dataset_dir, seq_num, "frames"), exist_ok=True)
        for i_frame, frame in enumerate(data["video"]):
            Image.fromarray((((frame + 1) / 2.0) * 255.0).astype("uint8")).save(
                os.path.join(dataset_dir, seq_num, "frames", f"{i_frame:03d}.png")
            )

but I just wanted to check that this is the correct file structure, seemed off.

Thank you!

[nikitakaraevv]

Hi @rogerioagjr, sorry, somehow I missed your message. Honestly, I don't know why the Kubric data is failing now. You might want to open an issue here.

As for your second question, seq_num corresponds to sequence numbers: 0001, 0002, 0003,... So, it seems to be correct, right?

[XiaoyuShi97]

Hi @nikitakaraevv . May I ask how large is the training data and the annotations? And if it is possible for you to upload the generated data to ease the data preparation process? Thanks!

[nikitakaraevv]

Hi @XiaoyuShi97, it would be better to ask the creators of Kubric to do it, as we simply generated a dataset using their provided script.

[sinkers-lan]

Hi @XiaoyuShi97 , In my impression, it would require 500+G. According to the explanation upstairs, generating the annotations is not so difficult in my point of view.

Hi @XiaoyuShi97 , In my impression, it would require 500+G. According to the explanation upstairs, generating the annotations is not so difficult in my point of view.

Hi @nikitakaraevv , I generate the training data following the instructions, but the total size is only ~65G, which is much smaller than @sinkers-lan 's experience. Could you please provide the size of training data? Thx!

[nikitakaraevv]

Hi @XiaoyuShi97, it seems to be correct. 65Gb must be the size of generated annotations, while the annotations + the tensorflow record consume 500+ Gb.

[XiaoyuShi97]

Thanks for your kind reply!

I download part of kubric_movi_f/512x512 datasets, then run create_point_tracking_dataset(),but got the following issue: File "D:\A_research\tapnet-pytorch\tapnet-main\generateKubric\kubric_dataset.py", line 1036, in main() File "D:\A_research\tapnet-pytorch\tapnet-main\generateKubric\kubric_dataset.py", line 1016, in main for i, data in enumerate(ds): File "D:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\envs\tapnet\lib\site-packages\tensorflow_datasets\core\dataset_utils.py", line 76, in _eager_dataset_iterator for elem in ds: File "D:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\envs\tapnet\lib\site-packages\tensorflow\python\data\ops\iterator_ops.py", line 809, in next return self._next_internal() File "D:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\envs\tapnet\lib\site-packages\tensorflow\python\data\ops\iterator_ops.py", line 772, in _next_internal ret = gen_dataset_ops.iterator_get_next( File "D:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\envs\tapnet\lib\site-packages\tensorflow\python\ops\gen_dataset_ops.py", line 3050, in iterator_get_next _result = pywrap_tfe.TFE_Py_FastPathExecute( UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xd5 in position 274: invalid continuation byte 2\1.0.0\movi_f-train.tfrecord-00021-of-01024 GetLastError: 2

why did this?

[shivanimall]

Thanks for the great work, and thanks @nikitakaraevv for sharing these instructions here. Perhaps, useful to cross-reference on kubric as well.

Hi @nikitakaraevv , I downloaded the tensorflow-record to local disk(only 512x512 of movi_f, which takes about ~552GB), and arrange them like this: after I run python dataset.py, I get the following error: my dataset.py is: I must be messing around with the directory or dataset name, etc, could you give some hints about it?

Hi @nikitakaraevv, @qsisi Thank you for sharing your excellent work. I've been attempting to create a training dataset by following your instructions, which involved downloading the dataset and modifying the conversion code you provided. However, when I run the dataset.py script, I encounter an error. Do you have any insights regarding the error I'm experiencing? The error message is as follows:

Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

I remember such an issue is caused by either inappropriate tensorflow_datasets version, or messing around with the directory or dataset name. Try changing the tensorflow_datasets version, and try a different dataset name like "512x512" or "movi_f/512x512".

[whikwon]

@qsisi Setting different dataset name "movi_f/512x512" works. Thank you so much.

[littlepure2333]

Hi @nikitakaraevv, I followed your instructions and it is generating annotations now, but the generation speed is quite slow on my end, roughly 2 seconds per iteration. Is it the same on your side? Or any speed-up suggestions?
