NEWS

[2023-6-12] Introducing Pillar R-CNN into the framework.

[2022-7-4] PillarNet is accepted by ECCV 2022.

[2022-6-6] PillarNet achieves a good trade-off between performance and speed on nuScenes Dataset and Waymo Open Dataset.

TODO List

• Introducing BEVFusion for multi-modality 3D object detection.
• Towards higher performance with extra small costs.

There are still some engineering techniques that we believe can be used to reduce runtime while maintaining accuracy, which we will continue to update later. We will also appreciate the readers for providing your contributions.

Usage

You can easily re-produce the results as stated in paper.

Please install python-related packages in requirements.txt

Acknowlegement

PillarNet is built on CenterPoint with the same training schedule as CenterPoint-VoxelNet.
