This repository contains sources and model for pointpillars inference using TensorRT.
Overall inference has below phases:
- Voxelize points cloud into 10-channel features
- Run TensorRT engine to get detection feature
- Parse detection feature and apply NMS
We provide a Dockerfile to ease environment setup. Please execute the following command to build the docker image after nvidia-docker installation:
cd docker && docker build . -t pointpillar
We can then run the docker with the following command:
nvidia-docker run --rm -ti -v /home/$USER/:/home/$USER/ --net=host --rm pointpillar:latest
For model exporting, please run the following command to clone pcdet repo and install custom CUDA extensions:
git clone https://github.com/open-mmlab/OpenPCDet.git
cd OpenPCDet && git checkout 846cf3e && python3 setup.py develop
Download PTM to ckpts/, then use below command to export ONNX model:
python3 tool/export_onnx.py --ckpt ckpts/pointpillar_7728.pth --out_dir model
Use below command to evaluate on kitti dataset, follow Evaluation on Kitti to get more detail for dataset preparation.

- Voxelization has random output since GPU processes all points simultaneously while points selection for a voxel is random.
