Getting Started

Clone the repo using the --recursive flag

git clone --recursive https://github.com/princeton-vl/coupled-iterative-refinement.git
cd coupled-iterative-refinement

Create a new anaconda environment using the provided .yaml file (requires an NVidia GPU)

conda env create -f environment.yaml
conda activate cir

Demos

To download a sample of YCB-V, T-LESS and LM-O (513Mb), run

chmod ug+x download_sample.sh && ./download_sample.sh

Download pretrained model weights (2.4Gb) by running

chmod ug+x download_model_weights.sh &&  ./download_model_weights.sh

or downloaded from google drive

To demo a trained model on any the bop datasets, run

python demo.py --obj_models ycbv --scene_dir sample_ycbv --load_weights model_weights/refiner/ycbv_rgbd.pth

Replace ycbv with tless or lmo in the above arguments to use a different dataset. sample_ycbv can be downloaded using ./download_sample.sh or replaced with the path to a BOP scene directory. The refiner forward pass take ~1.12s using the default settings. The demo saves images of the pose refinement to qualitative_output/, which can be flipped through using any image viewer.

To demo our RGB-only method, use --rgb_only and replace _rgbd.pth with _rgb.pth

Full Datasets (for training and/or evaluation)

To evaluate/train Coupled Iterative Refinement, you will need to download at least one of the core BOP datasets:

To download and unzip any of the core BOP datasets, we provide a script:

python additional_scripts/download_datasets.py --bop_dataset ycbv --models ycbv

To download the Pascal VOC dataset used for background data-augmentation, run

python additional_scripts/download_datasets.py --augmentation_textures # Downloads VOC2012

By default bop.py will search for the datasets in these locations.

Training

Our method is trained separately for each of the BOP datasets. To train the YCB-V refinement model, run

python train.py --dataset ycbv --batch_size 12 --num_inner_loops 10 --num_solver_steps 3

To train a refinement model on other BOP datasets, replace ycbv with one of the following: tless, lmo, hb, tudl, icbin, itodd

The above command runs on two NVIDIA RTX 3090s (48Gb GPU Memory). To use less memory, decrease batch_size, num_inner_loops or num_solver_steps.

Evaluation

To run our end-to-end pipeline to reproduce our results, run

python test.py --save_dir my_evaluation --dataset ycbv --load_weights model_weights/refiner/ycbv_rgbd.pth

This will deposit a .tar file in my_evaluation/. The evaluation is slow, but can be run in parallel for different portions of the test set using --start_index and --num_images, with each run depositing a separate .tar file in my_evaluation/. If using a slurm array job to distribute testing, these arguments will be automatically set.

To evaluate the predictions, run

python additional_scripts/run_bop20_eval.py --dataset ycbv --tar_dir my_evaluation

You can also evaluate a refiner model using random perturbations from the ground-truth pose (i.e. the validation setting) by using --evaluate

python train.py --dataset ycbv --evaluate --batch_size 2 --load_weights model_weights/refiner/ycbv_rgbd.pth

RGB-Only Variant

To use the RGB-Only models, use --rgb_only when running python train.py, python test.py or python demo.py

We provide trained RGB-only refiners for YCB-V, T-LESS and Linemod (Occluded) which can be loaded using --load_weights

The code for training the detectors and coarse models is available in the Cosypose Github. The training procedure is outlined at the bottom of Appendix A in their paper.

(Optional) Faster Implementation

We provide a faster CUDA implementation of the correlation sampler. The code will default to this implementation if it is compiled (requires an NVidia GPU to compile, takes ~3 min).

cd pose_models/modules && pip install . && cd - # Compiles corr_sampler
