questions about GETTING_STARTED.md

[NayaBaslan]

I would like to start using OpenPCDet with the Waymo dataset.

Could you please provide more information about the data format that is needed.

I have successfully ran the library installation with all the dependecies as instructed in INSTALL.md using

python setup.py develop

Can you provide some more explanation about the Waymo setup under GETTING_STARTED.md

In the Path OpenPCDet/data/waymo/ImageSets I have train.txt with the following:

segment-10023947602400723454_1120_000_1140_000_with_camera_labels.tfrecord
segment-1005081002024129653_5313_150_5333_150_with_camera_labels.tfrecord
segment-10061305430875486848_1080_000_1100_000_with_camera_labels.tfrecord
segment-10072140764565668044_4060_000_4080_000_with_camera_labels.tfrecord
....

And as the instructions say, I have to download the these waymo tfrecords into the raw_data folder.

However, I cannot find anything of this format.

Can you please tell me how to obtain this data. The Waymo dataset has both the Perception and the Motion dataset. Which one should be used in this case? The only data I am to download from Waymo is of this form

uncompressed_scenario_training_training.tfrecord-00001-of-01000

but then when running

python -m pcdet.datasets.waymo.waymo_dataset --func create_waymo_infos \
    --cfg_file tools/cfgs/dataset_configs/waymo_dataset.yaml

I get all the errors that the segments could not be found.

I think you need the perception dataset v1.4.3 . If you look at individial files go to training you see exactly these files as they expect it. I guess they are the same files at these archives.
