Demo

Installation

First you have to make sure that you have all dependencies in place. The simplest way to do so, is to use anaconda.

You can create an anaconda environment called sni. For linux, you need to install libopenexr-dev before creating the environment.

sudo apt-get install libopenexr-dev
conda env create -f environment.yaml
conda activate sni

Run

Replica

1. Download the data with semantic annotations in google drive and save the data into the ./data/replica folder. We only provide a subset of Replica dataset. For all Replica data generation, please refer to directory data_generation.
2. Download the pretrained segmentation network in google drive and save it into the ./seg folder. and you can run SNI-SLAM:

python -W ignore run.py configs/Replica/room1.yaml

The mesh for evaluation is saved as $OUTPUT_FOLDER/mesh/final_mesh_eval_rec_culled.ply

Evaluation

Average Trajectory Error

To evaluate the average trajectory error. Run the command below with the corresponding config file:

# An example for room1 of Replica
python src/tools/eval_ate.py configs/Replica/room1.yaml

Visualizing SNI-SLAM Results

For visualizing the results, we recommend to set mesh_freq: 40 in configs/SNI-SLAM.yaml and run SNI-SLAM from scratch.

After SNI-SLAM is trained, run the following command for visualization.

python visualizer.py configs/Replica/room1.yaml --top_view --save_rendering

The result of the visualization will be saved at output/Replica/room1/vis.mp4. The green trajectory indicates the ground truth trajectory, and the red one is the trajectory of SNI-SLAM.

Visualizer Command line arguments

• --output $OUTPUT_FOLDER output folder (overwrite the output folder in the config file)
• --top_view set the camera to top view. Otherwise, the camera is set to the first frame of the sequence
• --save_rendering save rendering video to vis.mp4 in the output folder
• --no_gt_traj do not show ground truth trajectory
