Prerequisites

  • Linux or macOS (Windows is not currently officially supported)
  • Python 3.6+
  • PyTorch 1.3+
  • CUDA 9.2+ (If you build PyTorch from source, CUDA 9.0 is also compatible)
  • GCC 5+
  • MMCV

The required versions of MMCV and MMDetection for different versions of MMDetection3D are as below. Please install the correct version of MMCV and MMDetection to avoid installation issues.

MMDetection3D version MMDetection version MMCV version
master mmdet>=2.5.0 mmcv-full>=1.2.4, <=1.4
0.11.0 mmdet>=2.5.0 mmcv-full>=1.2.4, <=1.4
0.10.0 mmdet>=2.5.0 mmcv-full>=1.2.4, <=1.4
0.9.0 mmdet>=2.5.0 mmcv-full>=1.2.4, <=1.4
0.8.0 mmdet>=2.5.0 mmcv-full>=1.1.5, <=1.4
0.7.0 mmdet>=2.5.0 mmcv-full>=1.1.5, <=1.4
0.6.0 mmdet>=2.4.0 mmcv-full>=1.1.3, <=1.2
0.5.0 2.3.0 mmcv-full==1.0.5

Installation

Install MMDetection3D

a. Create a conda virtual environment and activate it.

conda create -n open-mmlab python=3.7 -y
conda activate open-mmlab

b. Install PyTorch and torchvision following the official instructions.

conda install pytorch torchvision -c pytorch

Note: Make sure that your compilation CUDA version and runtime CUDA version match. You can check the supported CUDA version for precompiled packages on the PyTorch website.

E.g. 1 If you have CUDA 10.1 installed under /usr/local/cuda and would like to install PyTorch 1.5, you need to install the prebuilt PyTorch with CUDA 10.1.

conda install pytorch==1.5.0 cudatoolkit=10.1 torchvision==0.6.0 -c pytorch

E.g. 2 If you have CUDA 9.2 installed under /usr/local/cuda and would like to install PyTorch 1.3.1., you need to install the prebuilt PyTorch with CUDA 9.2.

conda install pytorch=1.3.1 cudatoolkit=9.2 torchvision=0.4.2 -c pytorch

If you build PyTorch from source instead of installing the prebuilt pacakge, you can use more CUDA versions such as 9.0.

c. Install MMCV. mmcv-full is necessary since MMDetection3D relies on MMDetection, CUDA ops in mmcv-full are required.

e.g. The pre-build mmcv-full could be installed by running: (available versions could be found here)

pip install mmcv-full -f https://download.openmmlab.com/mmcv/dist/{cu_version}/{torch_version}/index.html

Please replace {cu_version} and {torch_version} in the url to your desired one. For example, to install the latest mmcv-full with CUDA 11 and PyTorch 1.7.0, use the following command:

pip install mmcv-full -f https://download.openmmlab.com/mmcv/dist/cu110/torch1.7.0/index.html

See here for different versions of MMCV compatible to different PyTorch and CUDA versions. Optionally, you could also build the full version from source:

git clone https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmcv.git
cd mmcv
MMCV_WITH_OPS=1 pip install -e .  # package mmcv-full will be installed after this step
cd ..

Or directly run

pip install mmcv-full

d. Install MMDetection.

pip install git+https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmdetection.git

Optionally, you could also build MMDetection from source in case you want to modify the code:

git clone https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmdetection.git
cd mmdetection
pip install -r requirements/build.txt
pip install -v -e .  # or "python setup.py develop"

e. Clone the MMDetection3D repository.

git clone https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmdetection3d.git
cd mmdetection3d

f.Install build requirements and then install MMDetection3D.

pip install -v -e .  # or "python setup.py develop"

Note:

  1. The git commit id will be written to the version number with step d, e.g. 0.6.0+2e7045c. The version will also be saved in trained models. It is recommended that you run step d each time you pull some updates from github. If C++/CUDA codes are modified, then this step is compulsory.

    Important: Be sure to remove the ./build folder if you reinstall mmdet with a different CUDA/PyTorch version.

    pip uninstall mmdet3d
    rm -rf ./build
    find . -name "*.so" | xargs rm
  2. Following the above instructions, mmdetection is installed on dev mode, any local modifications made to the code will take effect without the need to reinstall it (unless you submit some commits and want to update the version number).

  3. If you would like to use opencv-python-headless instead of opencv-python, you can install it before installing MMCV.

  4. Some dependencies are optional. Simply running pip install -v -e . will only install the minimum runtime requirements. To use optional dependencies like albumentations and imagecorruptions either install them manually with pip install -r requirements/optional.txt or specify desired extras when calling pip (e.g. pip install -v -e .[optional]). Valid keys for the extras field are: all, tests, build, and optional.

  5. The code can not be built for CPU only environment (where CUDA isn't available) for now.

Another option: Docker Image

We provide a Dockerfile to build an image.

# build an image with PyTorch 1.6, CUDA 10.1
docker build -t mmdetection3d docker/

Run it with

docker run --gpus all --shm-size=8g -it -v {DATA_DIR}:/mmdetection3d/data mmdetection3d

A from-scratch setup script

Here is a full script for setting up mmdetection with conda.

conda create -n open-mmlab python=3.7 -y
conda activate open-mmlab

# install latest pytorch prebuilt with the default prebuilt CUDA version (usually the latest)
conda install -c pytorch pytorch torchvision -y

# install mmcv
pip install mmcv-full

# install mmdetection
pip install git+https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmdetection.git

# install mmdetection3d
git clone https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmdetection3d.git
cd mmdetection3d
pip install -v -e .

Using multiple MMDetection3D versions

The train and test scripts already modify the PYTHONPATH to ensure the script use the MMDetection3D in the current directory.

To use the default MMDetection3D installed in the environment rather than that you are working with, you can remove the following line in those scripts

PYTHONPATH="$(dirname $0)/..":$PYTHONPATH

Verification

Demo

Point cloud demo

We provide a demo script to test a single sample. Pre-trained models can be downloaded from model zoo

python demo/pcd_demo.py ${PCD_FILE} ${CONFIG_FILE} ${CHECKPOINT_FILE} [--device ${GPU_ID}] [--score-thr ${SCORE_THR}] [--out-dir ${OUT_DIR}]

Examples:

python demo/pcd_demo.py demo/kitti_000008.bin configs/second/hv_second_secfpn_6x8_80e_kitti-3d-car.py checkpoints/hv_second_secfpn_6x8_80e_kitti-3d-car_20200620_230238-393f000c.pth

If you want to input a ply file, you can use the following function and convert it to bin format. Then you can use the converted bin file to generate demo. Note that you need to install pandas and plyfile before using this script. This function can also be used for data preprocessing for training ply data.

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from plyfile import PlyData

def conver_ply(input_path, output_path):
    plydata = PlyData.read(input_path)  # read file
    data = plydata.elements[0].data  # read data
    data_pd = pd.DataFrame(data)  # convert to DataFrame
    data_np = np.zeros(data_pd.shape, dtype=np.float)  # initialize array to store data
    property_names = data[0].dtype.names  # read names of properties
    for i, name in enumerate(
            property_names):  # read data by property
        data_np[:, i] = data_pd[name]
    data_np.astype(np.float32).tofile(output_path)

Examples:

convert_ply('./test.ply', './test.bin')

High-level APIs for testing point clouds

Synchronous interface

Here is an example of building the model and test given point clouds.

from mmdet3d.apis import init_detector, inference_detector

config_file = 'configs/votenet/votenet_8x8_scannet-3d-18class.py'
checkpoint_file = 'checkpoints/votenet_8x8_scannet-3d-18class_20200620_230238-2cea9c3a.pth'

# build the model from a config file and a checkpoint file
model = init_detector(config_file, checkpoint_file, device='cuda:0')

# test a single image and show the results
point_cloud = 'test.bin'
result, data = inference_detector(model, point_cloud)
# visualize the results and save the results in 'results' folder
model.show_results(data, result, out_dir='results')
