About

DriveStudio is a 3DGS codebase for urban scene reconstruction/simulation. It offers a system with multiple Gaussian representations to jointly reconstruct backgrounds, vehicles, and non-rigid categories (pedestrians, cyclists, etc.) from driving logs. DriveStudio also provides a unified data system supporting various popular driving datasets, including Waymo, PandaSet, Argoverse2, KITTI, NuScenes, and NuPlan.

This codebase also contains the official implementation of:

🔥 Highlighted implementations

Our codebase supports two types of Gaussian trainers:

1. Single-Representation trainer (single Gaussian representation for the entire scene):

   • Deformable Gaussians
   • Periodic Vibration Gaussians

2. Multi-Representation trainer (Gaussian scene graphs trainer):

   • Background: Static Gaussians (Vanilla Gaussians)
   • Vehicles: Static Gaussians
   • Humans: SMPL-Gaussians, Deformable Gaussians
   • Other non-rigid categories: Deformable Gaussians

Implemented methods:

We extend our gratitude to the authors for their remarkable contributions. If you find these works useful, please consider citing them.

🚗 Dataset Support

This codebase provides support for popular driving datasets. We offer instructions and scripts on how to download and process these datasets:

*NOTE: For NuScenes data, LiDAR operates at 20Hz and cameras at 12Hz, but keyframes (with object annotations) are only at 2Hz. We provide a method to interpolate annotations up to 10Hz.

✨ Functionality

We have implemented interesting and useful functionalities:

1. Flexible multi-camera training: Choose any combination of cameras for training - single, multiple, or all. You can set these up by SIMPLY configuring your selection in the config file.

2. Powered by gsplat Integrated gsplat rasterization kernel with its advanced functions, e.g. absolute gradients, anti-aliasing, etc.

3. Camera Pose Refinement: Recognizing that camera poses may not always be sufficiently accurate, we provide a method to refine and optimize these poses.

4. Objects' GT Bounding Box Refinement: To address noise in ground truth boxes, we've added this feature to further improve accuracy and robustness.

5. Affine Transformation: This feature handles camera exposure and other related issues, enhancing the quality of scene reconstruction.

6. ...

These functionalities are designed to enhance the overall performance and flexibility of our system, allowing for more accurate and adaptable scene reconstruction across various datasets and conditions.

📊 Prepare Data

We support most popular public driving datasets. Detailed instructions for downloading and processing each dataset are available in the following documents:

• Waymo: Data Process Instruction
• NuScenes: Data Process Instruction
• NuPlan: Data Process Instruction
• ArgoVerse: Data Process Instruction
• PandaSet: Data Process Instruction
• KITTI: Data Process Instruction

🚀 Running

Training

export PYTHONPATH=$(pwd)
start_timestep=0 # start frame index for training
end_timestep=-1 # end frame index, -1 for the last frame

python tools/train.py \
    --config_file configs/omnire.yaml \
    --output_root $output_root \
    --project $project \
    --run_name $expname \
    dataset=waymo/3cams \
    data.scene_idx=$scene_idx \
    data.start_timestep=$start_timestep \
    data.end_timestep=$end_timestep

• To run other methods, change --config_file. See configs/ for more options.
• Specify dataset and number of cameras by setting dataset. Examples: waymo/1cams, waymo/5cams, pandaset/6cams, argoverse/7cams, etc. You can set up arbitrary camera combinations for each dataset. See configs/datasets/ for custom configuration details.
• For over 3 cameras or 450+ images, we recommend using omnire_extended_cam.yaml. It works better in practice.

Evaluation

python tools/eval.py --resume_from $ckpt_path

👏 Contributions

We're improving our project to develop a robust driving recom/sim system. Some areas we're focusing on:

• A real-time viewer for background and foreground visualization
• Scene editing and simulation tools
• Other Gaussian representations (e.g., 2DGS, surfels)

We welcome pull requests and collaborations. If you'd like to contribute or have questions, feel free to open an issue or contact Ziyu Chen (ziyu.sjtu@gmail.com).

🙏 Acknowledgments

We utilize the rasterization kernel from gsplat. Parts of our implementation are based on work from EmerNeRF, NerfStudio, GART, and Neuralsim. We've also implemented unofficial versions of Deformable-GS, PVG, and Street Gaussians, with reference to their original codebases.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the authors for their contributions to the community, which have greatly supported our research.
