---

## Features
- [x] Super fast and accurate 3D object detection based on LiDAR
- [x] Fast training, fast inference
- [x] An Anchor-free approach
- [x] No Non-Max-Suppression
- [x] Support [distributed data parallel training](https://github.com/pytorch/examples/tree/master/distributed/ddp)
- [x] Release pre-trained models

## Highlights
- [x] The technical details are described **[here](./Technical_details.md)**
- [x] The great introduction and explanation from _`Computer Vision and Perception for Self-Driving Cars Course`_ **[Youtube link](https://youtu.be/cPOtULagNnI?t=4858)**
- [x] SFA3D is used for the second course in the _`Udacity Self-Driving Car Engineer Nanodegree Program: Sensor Fusion and Tracking`_ **[GitHub link](https://github.com/udacity/nd013-c2-fusion-starter/tree/b1455b8ff433cb7f537d62e526209738293e7d8b)**

**Update 2020.09.06**: Add `ROS` source code. The great work has been done by [@AhmedARadwan](https://github.com/AhmedARadwan).
The implementation is [here](https://github.com/maudzung/SFA3D/tree/ea0222c1b35489dc35d8452c989c4b014e20e0da)

## Demonstration (on a single GTX 1080Ti)

## 2. Getting Started
### 2.1. Requirement

The instructions for setting up a virtual environment is [here](https://github.com/maudzung/virtual_environment_python3).

```shell script
git clone https://github.com/maudzung/SFA3D.git SFA3D
cd SFA3D/
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

### 2.2. Data Preparation
Download the 3D KITTI detection dataset from [here](http://www.cvlibs.net/datasets/kitti/eval_object.php?obj_benchmark=3d).

The downloaded data includes:

- Velodyne point clouds _**(29 GB)**_
- Training labels of object data set _**(5 MB)**_
- Camera calibration matrices of object data set _**(16 MB)**_
- **Left color images** of object data set _**(12 GB)**_ (For visualization purpose only)

Please make sure that you construct the source code & dataset directories structure as below.

### 2.3. How to run

#### 2.3.1. Visualize the dataset

To visualize 3D point clouds with 3D boxes, let's execute:

```shell script
cd sfa/data_process/
python kitti_dataset.py
```

#### 2.3.2. Inference

The pre-trained model was pushed to this repo.

```
python test.py --gpu_idx 0 --peak_thresh 0.2
```

#### 2.3.3. Making demonstration

```
python demo_2_sides.py --gpu_idx 0 --peak_thresh 0.2
```

The data for the demonstration will be automatically downloaded by executing the above command.

#### 2.3.4. Training

##### 2.3.4.1. Single machine, single gpu

```shell script
python train.py --gpu_idx 0
```

##### 2.3.4.2. Distributed Data Parallel Training
- **Single machine (node), multiple GPUs**

```
python train.py --multiprocessing-distributed --world-size 1 --rank 0 --batch_size 64 --num_workers 8
```

- **Two machines (two nodes), multiple GPUs**

- _**First machine**_
```
python train.py --dist-url 'tcp://IP_OF_NODE1:FREEPORT' --multiprocessing-distributed --world-size 2 --rank 0 --batch_size 64 --num_workers 8
```

- _**Second machine**_
```
python train.py --dist-url 'tcp://IP_OF_NODE2:FREEPORT' --multiprocessing-distributed --world-size 2 --rank 1 --batch_size 64 --num_workers 8
```

#### Tensorboard

- To track the training progress, go to the `logs/` folder and

```shell script
cd logs//tensorboard/
tensorboard --logdir=./
```

- Then go to [http://localhost:6006/](http://localhost:6006/)
