A unified model for three motion and 3D perception tasks.

We achieve the 1st places on Sintel (clean), Middlebury (rms metric) and Argoverse benchmarks.

This project is developed based on our previous works:

Installation

Our code is developed based on pytorch 1.9.0, CUDA 10.2 and python 3.8. Higher version pytorch should also work well.

We recommend using conda for installation:

conda env create -f conda_environment.yml
conda activate unimatch

Alternatively, we also support installing with pip:

bash pip_install.sh

Model Zoo

A large number of pretrained models with different speed-accuracy trade-offs for flow, stereo and depth are available at MODEL_ZOO.md.

We assume the downloaded weights are located under the pretrained directory.

Otherwise, you may need to change the corresponding paths in the scripts.

Demo

Given an image pair or a video sequence, our code supports generating prediction results of optical flow, disparity and depth.

Please refer to scripts/gmflow_demo.sh, scripts/gmstereo_demo.sh and scripts/gmdepth_demo.sh for example usages.

Datasets

The datasets used to train and evaluate our models for all three tasks are given in DATASETS.md

Evaluation

The evaluation scripts used to reproduce the numbers in our paper are given in scripts/gmflow_evaluate.sh, scripts/gmstereo_evaluate.sh and scripts/gmdepth_evaluate.sh.

For submission to KITTI, Sintel, Middlebury and ETH3D online test sets, you can run scripts/gmflow_submission.sh and scripts/gmstereo_submission.sh to generate the prediction results. The results can be submitted directly.

Training

All training scripts for different model variants on different datasets can be found in scripts/*_train.sh.

We support using tensorboard to monitor and visualize the training process. You can first start a tensorboard session with

tensorboard --logdir checkpoints

and then access http://localhost:6006 in your browser.
