LiDAR2Map

Song Wang, Wentong Li, Wenyu Liu, Xiaolu Liu, Jianke Zhu*

This is the official implementation of LiDAR2Map: In Defense of LiDAR-Based Semantic Map Construction Using Online Camera Distillation (CVPR 2023) [Paper] [Video].

Preparation

nuScene download

Please download the whole nuScene dataset from the official website.

Environment setup

Our project is built with Pytorch >= 1.7 and revised mmdetection3d from BEVFusion.

You can install the tree-filter by:

cd ./map/model/loss/kernels/lib_tree_filter
python3 setup.py build develop

Training and Inference

To train the model from scratch, you can run:

cd ./map
bash train.sh # multi-gpu
python train_lidar2map.py # single-gpu

To inference with the obtained checkpoint, you can run:

python test.py --modelf /path/to/ckpt # single-gpu
