• [2025/07]: We released the full code & checkpoints of ProtoOcc, including nuScenes (Single & Multi frame) and SemanticKITTI.
• [2024/12]: ProtoOcc is accepted at AAAI 2025. 🔥
• [2024/08]: ProtoOcc achieves the SOTA on Occ3D-nuScenes with 45.02% mIoU (Multi-frame) and 39.56% mIoU, 12.83 FPS (Single-frame)!
  

📽️ Demo

💡 Method

Overall structure of ProtoOcc. (a) Dual Branch Encoder captures fine-grained 3D structures and models the large receptive fields in voxel and BEV domains, respectively. (b) The Prototype Query Decoder generates Scene-Aware Queries utilizing prototypes and achieves fast inference without iterative query decoding. (c) Our ProtoOcc framework integrates Dual Branch Encoder and Prototype Mask Decoder for 3D occupancy prediction.

📚 Training & Evaluation

• Environment Setup

Training

We trained all models using four RTX 3090 (24GB) GPUs.

CONFIG=ProtoOcc_1key # (ProtoOcc_1key / ProtoOcc_longterm / ProtoOcc_semanticKITTI)

./tools/dist_train.sh projects/configs/ProtoOcc/${CONFIG}.py 4 --work-dir ./work_dirs/${CONFIG}

Evaluation

If you want to get the pretrained weights, download them from Google Drive or Hugging Face.
To measure inference speed, uncomment # fp16 = dict(loss_scale='dynamic') in the config file.

CONFIG=ProtoOcc_1key # (ProtoOcc_1key / ProtoOcc_longterm / ProtoOcc_semanticKITTI)

bash tools/dist_test.sh ./projects/configs/${CONFIG}.py ./work_dirs/${CONFIG}/${CONFIG}.pth 1 --eval bboxx
