Xiuwei Xu*, Zhihao Sun*, Ziwei Wang, Hongmin Liu, Jie Zhou, Jiwen Lu

• [2024/7/01]: DSPDet3D is accepted to ECCV 2024!
• [2023/6/04]: We transfer DSPDet3D to extremely large scenes and show great performance! Demo will be released in our project page.
• [2023/5/01]: Code release.

Overall pipeline of DSPDet3D:

For data preparation and environment setup:

• Installation
• Prepare Dataset

For training and evaluation:

• Train and Eval

This is a tutorial on how to use class-agnostic DSPDet3D on custom data and visualize the results. Please download checkpoint from HERE and move it to demo folder. We provide two demo scenes from ScanNet and Matterport3D. You can download (ScanNet, Matterport3D) and also put them into demo folder. Then run the following command for detection and visualization.

Dataset	Scannet	Matterport3D
Command	bash demo/demo.sh demo/scannet.ply demo/config_room.py	bash demo/demo.sh demo/mp3d.ply demo/config_building.py
Result

You can also try DSPDet3D on your own data in ply format. Run

bash demo/demo.sh /path/to/your/ply demo/config_{}.py

We use different hyperparamters of 3D NMS for different scales of scenes. For room-size scenes, use config_room.py. For building-level scenes, use config_building.py. You can also adjust the prune_threshold in the config file to tradeoff between accuracy and efficiency.

We provide the checkpoints for quick reproduction of the results reported in the paper. The pruning threshold can be adjusted freely to tradeoff between accuracy and efficiency without any finetuning.

We thank a lot for the flexible codebase of FCAF3D and valuable datasets provided by ScanNet and TO-SCENE.
