Installation

Requirements

Anaconda 3
PyTorch ≥ 1.7 and torchvision that matches the PyTorch installation. Install them together at pytorch.org to make sure of this.
conda env create --name ENV_NAME --file=env.yml

Getting Started

Demo

We have set up an online demo. Currently, the web demo does not support SAM since it's just a CPU-only server. You can check it out at: here

Run Demo Locally

If you want to test an image locally, you can simply run

python3 demo.py --cfg-path=YOUR_CFG_PATH --output_path=SAVE_PATH

Evaluation with Benchmarks

Data preparation: See Preparing Datasets for CaR
Evaluate: python3 evaluate.py --cfg-path=CFG_PATH You can find configs for each dataset under configs.
