DF-Net: Unsupervised Joint Learning of Depth and Flow using Cross-Task Consistency

A TensorFlow re-implementation for DF-Net: Unsupervised Joint Learning of Depth and Flow using Cross-Task Consistency. There are some minor differences from the model described in the paper:

• Model in the paper uses 2-frame as input, while this code uses 5-frame as input (you might use any odd numbers of frames as input, though you would need to tune the hyper-parameters)
• FlowNet in the paper is pre-trained on SYNTHIA, while this one is pre-trained on Cityscapes

Please see the project page for more details.

Prerequisites

This codebase was developed and tested with the following settings:

Python 3.6
TensorFlow 1.2.0 (this is the only supported version)
g++ 4.x (this is the only supported version)
CUDA 8.0
Unbuntu 14.04
4 Tesla K80 GPUs (w/ 12G memory each)

Some Python packages you might not have

pypng
opencv-python

Installation

1. Clone this repository

git clone git@github.com:vt-vl-lab/DF-Net.git
cd DF-Net

2. Prepare models and training data

chmod +x ./misc/prepare.sh
./misc/prepare.sh

NOTE: Frames belonging to KITTI2012/2015 train/test scenes have been excluded in the provided training set. Add these frames back to the training set would improve the performance of DepthNet.

Data preparation (for evaluation)

After accepting their license conditions, download KITTI raw, KITTI flow 2012, KITTI flow 2015.

Then you can make soft-link for them

cd dataset
mkdir KITTI
cd KITTI

ln -s /path/to/KITTI/raw raw
ln -s /path/to/KITTI/2012 flow2012
ln -s /path/to/KITTI/2015 flow2015

(Optional) You can add those KITTI2012/2015 frames back to the training set, by commenting line81~line85 in data/kitti/kitti_raw_loader.py, and do

python data/prepare_train_data.py --dataset_name='kitti_raw_eigen' --dump_root=/path/to/save/ --num_threads=4

Training

export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3
python train_df.py --dataset_dir=/path/to/your/data --checkpoint_dir=/path/to/save/your/model

For the first time, custom CUDA operations for FlowNet will be compiled. If you have any compliation issues, please check core/UnFlow/src/e2eflow/ops.py

• Line31: specify your CUDA path
• Line32: Add -I $CUDA_HOME/include, where $CUDA_HOME is your CUDA directory
• Line38: specify your g++ version

Testing

Test DepthNet on KITTI raw (You can use the validation set to selct the best model.)

python test_kitti_depth.py --dataset_dir=/path/to/your/data --output_dir=/path/to/save/your/prediction --ckpt_file=/path/to/your/ckpt --split="val or test"
python kitti_eval/eval_depth.py --pred_file=/path/to/your/prediction --split="val or test"

Test FlowNet on KITTI 2012 (Please use training set)

python test_flownet_2012.py --dataset_dir=/path/to/your/data --ckpt_file=/path/to/your/ckpt

Test FlowNet on KITTI 2015 (Please use training set)

python test_flownet_2015.py --dataset_dir=/path/to/your/data --ckpt_file=/path/to/your/ckpt

NOTE: For KITTI 2012/2015

• If you want to generate visualization colormap for training set, you can specify output_dir
• If you want to test on test set and upload it to KITTI server, you can specify output_dir and test on test set.

Pre-trained model performance

You should get the following numbers if you use the pre-trained model pretrained/dfnet

DepthNet (KITTI raw test test)

FlowNet (KITTI 2012/2015 training set)
