• Apr, 2024: PTv3 is selected as one of the 90 Oral papers (3.3% accepted papers, 0.78% submissions) by CVPR'24!
• Mar, 2024: We release code for OA-CNNs, accepted by CVPR'24. Issue related to OA-CNNs can @Pbihao.
• Feb, 2024: PTv3 and PPT are accepted by CVPR'24, another two papers by our Pointcept team have also been accepted by CVPR'24 🎉🎉🎉. We will make them publicly available soon!
• Dec, 2023: PTv3 is released on arXiv, and the code is available in Pointcept. PTv3 is an efficient backbone model that achieves SOTA performances across indoor and outdoor scenarios.
• Aug, 2023: PPT is released on arXiv. PPT presents a multi-dataset pre-training framework that achieves SOTA performance in both indoor and outdoor scenarios. It is compatible with various existing pre-training frameworks and backbones. A pre-release version of the code is accessible; for those interested, please feel free to contact me directly for access.

Quick Start

Training

Train from scratch. The training processing is based on configs in configs folder. The training script will generate an experiment folder in exp folder and backup essential code in the experiment folder. Training config, log, tensorboard, and checkpoints will also be saved into the experiment folder during the training process.

export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=${CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES}
# Script (Recommended)
sh scripts/train.sh -p ${INTERPRETER_PATH} -g ${NUM_GPU} -d ${DATASET_NAME} -c ${CONFIG_NAME} -n ${EXP_NAME}
# Direct
export PYTHONPATH=./
python tools/train.py --config-file ${CONFIG_PATH} --num-gpus ${NUM_GPU} --options save_path=${SAVE_PATH}

For example:

# By script (Recommended)
# -p is default set as python and can be ignored
sh scripts/train.sh -p python -d scannet -c semseg-pt-v2m2-0-base -n semseg-pt-v2m2-0-base
# Direct
export PYTHONPATH=./
python tools/train.py --config-file configs/scannet/semseg-pt-v2m2-0-base.py --options save_path=exp/scannet/semseg-pt-v2m2-0-base

Resume training from checkpoint. If the training process is interrupted by accident, the following script can resume training from a given checkpoint.

export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=${CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES}
# Script (Recommended)
# simply add "-r true"
sh scripts/train.sh -p ${INTERPRETER_PATH} -g ${NUM_GPU} -d ${DATASET_NAME} -c ${CONFIG_NAME} -n ${EXP_NAME} -r true
# Direct
export PYTHONPATH=./
python tools/train.py --config-file ${CONFIG_PATH} --num-gpus ${NUM_GPU} --options save_path=${SAVE_PATH} resume=True weight=${CHECKPOINT_PATH}

Testing

During training, model evaluation is performed on point clouds after grid sampling (voxelization), providing an initial assessment of model performance. However, to obtain precise evaluation results, testing is essential. The testing process involves subsampling a dense point cloud into a sequence of voxelized point clouds, ensuring comprehensive coverage of all points. These sub-results are then predicted and collected to form a complete prediction of the entire point cloud. This approach yields higher evaluation results compared to simply mapping/interpolating the prediction. In addition, our testing code supports TTA (test time augmentation) testing, which further enhances the stability of evaluation performance.

# By script (Based on experiment folder created by training script)
sh scripts/test.sh -p ${INTERPRETER_PATH} -g ${NUM_GPU} -d ${DATASET_NAME} -n ${EXP_NAME} -w ${CHECKPOINT_NAME}
# Direct
export PYTHONPATH=./
python tools/test.py --config-file ${CONFIG_PATH} --num-gpus ${NUM_GPU} --options save_path=${SAVE_PATH} weight=${CHECKPOINT_PATH}

For example:

# By script (Based on experiment folder created by training script)
# -p is default set as python and can be ignored
# -w is default set as model_best and can be ignored
sh scripts/test.sh -p python -d scannet -n semseg-pt-v2m2-0-base -w model_best
# Direct
export PYTHONPATH=./
python tools/test.py --config-file configs/scannet/semseg-pt-v2m2-0-base.py --options save_path=exp/scannet/semseg-pt-v2m2-0-base weight=exp/scannet/semseg-pt-v2m2-0-base/model/model_best.pth

The TTA can be disabled by replace data.test.test_cfg.aug_transform = [...] with:

data = dict(
    train = dict(...),
    val = dict(...),
    test = dict(
        ...,
        test_cfg = dict(
            ...,
            aug_transform = [
                [dict(type="RandomRotateTargetAngle", angle=[0], axis="z", center=[0, 0, 0], p=1)]
            ]
        )
    )
)

Offset

Offset is the separator of point clouds in batch data, and it is similar to the concept of Batch in PyG. A visual illustration of batch and offset is as follows:

OA-CNNs

Introducing Omni-Adaptive 3D CNNs (OA-CNNs), a family of networks that integrates a lightweight module to greatly enhance the adaptivity of sparse CNNs at minimal computational cost. Without any self-attention modules, OA-CNNs favorably surpass point transformers in terms of accuracy in both indoor and outdoor scenes, with much less latency and memory cost. Issue related to OA-CNNs can @Pbihao.

Point Transformers

• PTv3

PTv3 is an efficient backbone model that achieves SOTA performances across indoor and outdoor scenarios. The full PTv3 relies on FlashAttention, while FlashAttention relies on CUDA 11.6 and above, make sure your local Pointcept environment satisfies the requirements.

If you can not upgrade your local environment to satisfy the requirements (CUDA >= 11.6), then you can disable FlashAttention by setting the model parameter enable_flash to false and reducing the enc_patch_size and dec_patch_size to a level (e.g. 128).

FlashAttention force disables RPE and forces the accuracy reduced to fp16. If you require these features, please disable enable_flash and adjust enable_rpe, upcast_attention andupcast_softmax.

Detailed instructions and experiment records (containing weights) are available on the project repository. Example running scripts are as follows:

• PTv2 mode2

The original PTv2 was trained on 4 * RTX a6000 (48G memory). Even enabling AMP, the memory cost of the original PTv2 is slightly larger than 24G. Considering GPUs with 24G memory are much more accessible, I tuned the PTv2 on the latest Pointcept and made it runnable on 4 * RTX 3090 machines.

PTv2 Mode2 enables AMP and disables Position Encoding Multiplier & Grouped Linear. During our further research, we found that precise coordinates are not necessary for point cloud understanding (Replacing precise coordinates with grid coordinates doesn't influence the performance. Also, SparseUNet is an example). As for Grouped Linear, my implementation of Grouped Linear seems to cost more memory than the Linear layer provided by PyTorch. Benefiting from the codebase and better parameter tuning, we also relieve the overfitting problem. The reproducing performance is even better than the results reported in our paper.

Example running scripts are as follows:
