Model Zoo

KITTI 3D Object Detection Baselines

Selected supported methods are shown in the below table. The results are the 3D detection performance of moderate difficulty on the val set of KITTI dataset.

• All models are trained with 2 NVIDIA Tesla P100 GPUs and are available for download.
• The training time is measured with 2 NVIDIA Tesla P100 GPUs and PyTorch 1.7.

Waymo Open Dataset Baselines

We could not provide the above pretrained models due to Waymo Dataset License Agreement, but you could easily achieve similar performance by training with the default configs. PDV is trained with 10% data (~16k frames) on 4 NVIDIA Tesla V100s GPUs.

Installation

Please refer to INSTALL.md for the installation of OpenPCDet.

Quick Demo

Please refer to DEMO.md for a quick demo to test with a pretrained model and visualize the predicted results on your custom data or the original KITTI data.
