Overall Pipeline

Environment Setup

To set up the project environment, follow this step:

Create a virtual environment:

conda env create -f environment.yml

After creating the virtual environment, activate it with:

conda activate ImOV3D

PointNet++ Backbone Installation

cd pointnet2
python setup.py install
cd ..

Dataset Preparation

Pretrain Stage

For detailed guidance on setting up the dataset for the pretraining stage, see the dataset instructions.

Adaptation

See Data Preparation for SUNRGBD or ScanNet.

Training and Evaluation

1️⃣ Pretrain

Pretrain ImOV3D on the LVIS dataset:

bash ./scripts/train_lvis.sh

2️⃣ Adapation

For the SUNRGBD dataset:

bash ./scripts/train_sunrgbd.sh

For the ScanNet dataset:

bash ./scripts/train_scannet.sh

3️⃣ Evaluation

To measure the effectiveness of model, proceed to the evaluation phase.

bash ./scripts/eval.sh
