Single agent detection v.s. collaborative perception

Main idea

Abstract: Multi-agent collaborative perception could significantly upgrade the perception performance by enabling agents to share complementary information with each other through communication. It inevitably results in a fundamental trade-off between perception performance and communication bandwidth. To tackle this bottleneck issue, we propose a spatial confidence map, which reflects the spatial heterogeneity of perceptual information. It empowers agents to only share spatially sparse, yet perceptually critical information, contributing to where to communicate.

Quick Start

Install

Please refer to the INSTALL.md for detailed documentations.

Download dataset DAIR-V2X

  1. Download raw data of DAIR-V2X.
  2. Download complemented annotation from Yifan Lu.

Train your model

We adopt the same setting as OpenCOOD which uses yaml file to configure all the parameters for training. To train your own model from scratch or a continued checkpoint, run the following commonds:

python opencood/tools/train.py --hypes_yaml ${CONFIG_FILE} [--model_dir  ${CHECKPOINT_FOLDER}]

Arguments Explanation:

  • hypes_yaml: the path of the training configuration file, e.g. opencood/hypes_yaml/second_early_fusion.yaml, meaning you want to train an early fusion model which utilizes SECOND as the backbone. See Tutorial 1: Config System to learn more about the rules of the yaml files.
  • model_dir (optional) : the path of the checkpoints. This is used to fine-tune the trained models. When the model_dir is given, the trainer will discard the hypes_yaml and load the config.yaml in the checkpoint folder.

Test the model

Before you run the following command, first make sure the validation_dir in config.yaml under your checkpoint folder refers to the testing dataset path, e.g. opv2v_data_dumping/test.

python opencood/tools/inference.py --model_dir ${CHECKPOINT_FOLDER} --fusion_method ${FUSION_STRATEGY} --save_vis_n ${amount}

Arguments Explanation:

  • model_dir: the path to your saved model.
  • fusion_method: indicate the fusion strategy, currently support 'early', 'late', 'intermediate', 'no'(indicate no fusion, single agent), 'intermediate_with_comm'(adopt intermediate fusion and output the communication cost).
  • save_vis_n: the amount of saving visualization result, default 10

The evaluation results will be dumped in the model directory.
