This code has been tested with Python 3.5, Tensorflow 1.11, CUDA 9.0 and cuDNN 7.4.1 on Ubuntu 16.04.

• Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/QingyongHu/RandLA-Net && cd RandLA-Net

• Setup python environment

conda create -n randlanet python=3.5
source activate randlanet
pip install -r helper_requirements.txt
sh compile_op.sh

S3DIS dataset can be found here. Download the files named "Stanford3dDataset_v1.2_Aligned_Version.zip". Uncompress the folder and move it to /data/S3DIS.

• Preparing the dataset:

python utils/data_prepare_s3dis.py

• Start 6-fold cross validation:

sh jobs_6_fold_cv_s3dis.sh

• Move all the generated results (*.ply) in /test folder to /data/S3DIS/results, calculate the final mean IoU results:

python utils/6_fold_cv.py

Quantitative results of different approaches on S3DIS dataset (6-fold cross-validation):

Qualitative results of our RandLA-Net:

7zip is required to uncompress the raw data in this dataset, to install p7zip:

sudo apt-get install p7zip-full

• Download and extract the dataset. First, please specify the path of the dataset by changing the BASE_DIR in "download_semantic3d.sh"

sh utils/download_semantic3d.sh

• Preparing the dataset:

python utils/data_prepare_semantic3d.py

• Start training:

python main_Semantic3D.py --mode train --gpu 0

• Evaluation:

python main_Semantic3D.py --mode test --gpu 0

Quantitative results of different approaches on Semantic3D (reduced-8):

Qualitative results of our RandLA-Net:

Note:

• Preferably with more than 64G RAM to process this dataset due to the large volume of point cloud

SemanticKITTI dataset can be found here. Download the files related to semantic segmentation and extract everything into the same folder. Uncompress the folder and move it to /data/semantic_kitti/dataset.

• Preparing the dataset:

python utils/data_prepare_semantickitti.py

• Start training:

python main_SemanticKITTI.py --mode train --gpu 0

• Evaluation:

sh jobs_test_semantickitti.sh

Quantitative results of different approaches on SemanticKITTI dataset:

Qualitative results of our RandLA-Net:
