This work is based on our ECCV-2020paper. There, we proposed the novel task of identifying a 3D object in a real-world scene given discriminative language, created two relevant datasets (Nr3D and Sr3D) and proposed a 3D neural listener (ReferIt3DNet) for solving this task. The bulk of the provided code serves the training & evaluation of ReferIt3DNet in our data. For more information please visit our project'swebpage.

1. Python 3.x with numpy, pandas, matplotlib (and a few morecommon packages - please see setup.py)
2. Pytorch 1.x

Our code is tested with Python 3.6.9, Pytorch 1.4 and CUDA 10.0, on Ubuntu 14.04.

• (recommended) you are advised to create a new anaconda environment, please use the following commands to create a new one.

    conda create -n referit3d_env python=3.6.9 cudatoolkit=10.0    conda activate referit3d_env    conda install pytorch torchvision -c pytorch

• Install the referit3d python package using

    cd referit3d    pip install -e .

• To use a PointNet++ visual-encoder you need to compile its CUDA layers forPointNet++:Note: To do this compilation also need: gcc5.4 or later.

    cd external_tools/pointnet2    python setup.py install

First you must download the train/val scans of ScanNet if you do not have them locally. To do so, please refer to theScanNet Dataset for more details.

• Nr3D you can dowloaded Nr3Dhere (10.7MB)
• Sr3D / Sr3D+ you can dowloaded Sr3D/Sr3D+here (19MB / 20MB)

Since Sr3d is a synthetic dataset, you can change the hyper-parameters to create a version customized to your needs. please seereferit3d/data_generation/sr3d/

• To train on either Nr3d or Sr3d dataset, use the following commands

    cd referit3d/scripts/    python train_referit3d.py -scannet-file the_processed_scannet_file -referit3D-file dataset_file.csv --log-dir dir_to_log --n-workers 4

feel free to change the number of workers to match your #CPUs and RAM size.

• To train nr3d in joint with sr3d, add the following argument

    --augment-with-sr3d sr3d_dataset_file.csv

• To evaluate on either Nr3d or Sr3d dataset, use the following commands

    cd referit3d/scripts/    python train_referit3d.py --mode evaluate -scannet-file the_processed_scannet_file -referit3D-file dataset_file.csv --resume-path the_path_to_the_best_model.pth  --n-workers 4 --batch-size 64

• To evaluate on joint trained model, add the following argument to the above command

    --augment-with-sr3d sr3d_dataset_file.csv

you can download a pretrained ReferIt3DNet models on Nr3D and Sr3Dhere. please extract the zip file and then copy the extracted folder to referit3d/log folder. you can run the following the command to evaluate:

cd referit3d/scriptspython train_referit3d.py --mode evaluate -scannet-file path_to_keep_all_points_00_view_with_global_scan_alignment.pkl  -referit3D-file path_to_corresponding_csv.csv  --resume-path checkpoints/best_model.pth

We wish to aggregate and highlight results from different approaches tackling the problem of fine-grained 3D object identification via language. If you use either of our datasets with a new method, please let us know! so we can add your method and attained results in ourbenchmark-aggregating page.
