Prerequisites

This code was developed with Tensorflow 1.0, Python 3.4, CUDA 8.0, cuDNN 5.1 and Ubuntu 14.04.

Preparing training data

The code takes input data in a certain manner. You can use the scripts in the folder data to be compatible with the data reading. We used two datasets for training in our experiments.

For KITTI, first download the dataset using this script provided on the official website, and then run the following command

python3 data/prepare_train_data.py --dataset_dir=/path/to/raw/kitti/dataset/ --dataset_name='kitti_raw_eigen' --dump_root=/path/to/resulting/formatted/data/ --seq_length=3 --img_width=832 --img_height=256 --num_threads=4

For Cityscapes, download the following packages: 1) leftImg8bit_sequence_trainvaltest.zip, 2) camera_trainvaltest.zip. Then run the following command

python3 data/prepare_train_data.py --dataset_dir=/path/to/cityscapes/dataset/ --dataset_name='cityscapes' --dump_root=/path/to/resulting/formatted/data/ --seq_length=3 --img_width=832 --img_height=342 --num_threads=4

As the car logo appears in Cityscapes frames, the bottom part is cropped.

Training

Once the data is prepared as described above, the training can be started by run the script:

bash run_train.sh
