- [2024/09/17]: We release an initial version of OPUS. It achieves promising performance of 41.2 RayIoU and 36.2 mIoU on the NuScene-Occ3D dataset.
Abstract
Occupancy prediction, aiming at predicting the occupancy status within voxelized 3D environment, is quickly gaining momentum within the autonomous driving community. Mainstream occupancy prediction works first discretize the 3D environment into voxels, then perform classification on such dense grids. However, inspection on sample data reveals that the vast majority of voxels is unoccupied. Performing classification on these empty voxels demands suboptimal computation resource allocation, and reducing such empty voxels necessitates complex algorithm designs. To this end, we present a novel perspective on the occupancy prediction task: formulating it as a streamlined set prediction paradigm without the need for explicit space modeling or complex sparsification procedures. Our proposed framework, called OPUS, utilizes a transformer encoder-decoder architecture to simultaneously predict occupied locations and classes using a set of learnable queries. Firstly, we employ the Chamfer distance loss to scale the set-to-set comparison problem to unprecedented magnitudes, making training such model end-to-end a reality. Subsequently, semantic classes are adaptively assigned using nearest neighbor search based on the learned locations. In addition, OPUS incorporates a suite of non-trivial strategies to enhance model performance, including coarse-to-fine learning, consistent point sampling, and adaptive re-weighting, etc. Finally, compared with current state-of-the-art methods, our lightest model achieves superior RayIoU on the Occ3D-nuScenes dataset at near $2\times$ FPS, while our heaviest model surpasses previous best results by 6.1 RayIoU.

Training and Evaluation
Environment
We build OPUS based on Pytorch 1.13.1 + CUDA 11.6
conda create -n opus python=3.8
conda activate opus
conda install pytorch==1.13.1 torchvision==0.14.1 pytorch-cuda=11.6 -c pytorch -c nvidia
Install other dependencies:
pip install openmim
mim install mmcv-full==1.6.0
mim install mmdet==2.28.2
mim install mmsegmentation==0.30.0
mim install mmdet3d==1.0.0rc6
Install turbojpeg and pillow-simd to speed up data loading (optional but important):
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y libturbojpeg
pip install pyturbojpeg
pip uninstall pillow
pip install pillow-simd==9.0.0.post1
Compile CUDA extensions:
cd models/csrc
python setup.py build_ext --inplace
Prepare Dataset
-
Download nuScenes from https://www.nuscenes.org/nuscenes and place it in folder
data/nuscenes
. -
Download Occ3d-nuScenes from https://tsinghua-mars-lab.github.io/Occ3D/ and place it in
data/nuscenes/gts
-
Prepare data with scripts provided by mmdet3d:
mim run mmdet3d create_data nuscenes --root-path ./data/nuscenes --out-dir ./data/nuscenes --extra-tag nuscenes
- Perform data preparation for OPUS:
python gen_sweep_info.py
The final folder structure would be
data/nuscenes
├── maps
├── nuscenes_infos_test_sweep.pkl
├── nuscenes_infos_train_sweep.pkl
├── nuscenes_infos_train_mini_sweep.pkl
├── nuscenes_infos_val_sweep.pkl
├── nuscenes_infos_val_mini_sweep.pkl
├── samples
├── sweeps
├── v1.0-test
└── v1.0-trainval
Note: These *.pkl
files can also be generated with our script: gen_sweep_info.py
.
Training
Download pre-trained weights
provided by mmdet3d, and put them in directory pretrain/
:

Train OPUS with a single GPU:
python train.py --config configs/opus-t_r50_704x256_8f_12e.py
Train OPUS with 8 GPUs:
bash dist_train.sh 8 configs/opus-t_r50_704x256_8f_12e.py
Note: The batch size for each GPU will be scaled automatically. So there is no need to modify the batch_size
in configurations.
Evaluation
Single-GPU evaluation:
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0
python val.py --config configs/opus-t_r50_704x256_8f_12e.py --weights path/to/checkpoints
Multi-GPU evaluation:
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7
torchrun --nproc_per_node 8 val.py --config configs/opus-t_r50_704x256_8f_12e.py --weights path/to/checkpoints
