MaSS: 3D Mapping & Semantic Search

This repository is the official implementation of the paper "A Simple Approach For Visual Room Rearrangement: 3D Mapping & Semantic Search" at ICLR 2023. Our method won the 2022 Rearrangement Challenge at the Embodied AI Workshop, and serves as a baseline for the 2023 challenge.

Installation

You can install MaSS by installing required packages with pip install -r requirements.txt, following the installation instructions for the ai2thor-rearrangement package on GitHub, and then installing detectron2.

Once these are installed, MaSS can be installed via pip install -e ..

Our method was developed using PyTorch 1.10.2. Newer versions may be compatible, but are untested.

Two model checkpoints are required to run MaSS:

1. a trained Mask R-CNN checkpoint compatible with detectron2 available here.
2. a Semantic Search policy that was downloaded with the cloned repository, named policy.pth in the same directory as this README.

Running The Agent

Following the instructions here first export the challenge package to your PYTHONPATH.

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH::/path/to/ai2thor-rearrangement

Then you can run the agent by calling agent.py with your python environment.

python -u agent.py \
--logdir ./testing-the-agent --stage val \
--semantic-search-walkthrough \
--semantic-search-unshuffle \
--use-feature-matching \
--start-task 0 --total-tasks 20

The above command runs MaSS using our Semantic Search policy to select navigation goals during the walkthrough phase and the unshuffle phase. In addition, the --use-feature-matching option uses image features to match instances of objects between the unshuffle phase and walkthrough phase, and should be used as it improves %FixedStrict by 7.03 points in our experiments.
