SeqNetVLAD vs PointNetVLAD: Image Sequence vs 3D Point Clouds for Day-Night Place Recognition

[ArXiv] [CVPR 2021 Workshop 3DVR]


Sequence-Based Hierarchical Visual Place Recognition.

News:

Jun 23: CVPR 2021 Workshop 3DVR paper, "SeqNetVLAD vs PointNetVLAD", now available on arXiv. Oxford dataset to be released soon.

Jun 02: SeqNet code release with the Nordland dataset.

Setup (One time)

Conda

conda create -n seqnet python=3.8 mamba -c conda-forge -y
conda activate seqnet
mamba install numpy pytorch=1.8.0 torchvision tqdm scikit-learn faiss tensorboardx h5py -c conda-forge -y

Download

Run bash download.sh to download single image NetVLAD descriptors (3.4 GB) for the Nordland-clean dataset [a] and corresponding model files (1.5 GB) [b].

Run

Train

To train sequential descriptors through SeqNet:

python main.py --mode train --pooling seqnet --dataset nordland-sw --seqL 10 --w 5 --outDims 4096 --expName "w5"

To (re-)train single descriptors through SeqNet:

python main.py --mode train --pooling seqnet --dataset nordland-sw --seqL 1 --w 1 --outDims 4096 --expName "w1"

Test

python main.py --mode test --pooling seqnet --dataset nordland-sf --seqL 5 --split test --resume ./data/runs/Jun03_15-22-44_l10_w5/ 

The above will reproduce results for SeqNet (S5) as per Supp. Table III on Page 10.

To obtain other results from the same table, expand this.
# Raw Single (NetVLAD) Descriptor
python main.py --mode test --pooling single --dataset nordland-sf --seqL 1 --split test

# SeqNet (S1)
python main.py --mode test --pooling seqnet --dataset nordland-sf --seqL 1 --split test --resume ./data/runs/Jun03_15-07-46_l1_w1/

# Raw + Smoothing
python main.py --mode test --pooling smooth --dataset nordland-sf --seqL 5 --split test

# Raw + Delta
python main.py --mode test --pooling delta --dataset nordland-sf --seqL 5 --split test

# Raw + SeqMatch
python main.py --mode test --pooling single+seqmatch --dataset nordland-sf --seqL 5 --split test

# SeqNet (S1) + SeqMatch
python main.py --mode test --pooling s1+seqmatch --dataset nordland-sf --seqL 5 --split test --resume ./data/runs/Jun03_15-07-46_l1_w1/

# HVPR (S5 to S1)
# Run S5 first and save its predictions by specifying `resultsPath`
python main.py --mode test --pooling seqnet --dataset nordland-sf --seqL 5 --split test --resume ./data/runs/Jun03_15-22-44_l10_w5/ --resultsPath ./data/results/
# Now run S1 + SeqMatch using results from above (the timestamp of `predictionsFile` would be different in your case)
python main.py --mode test --pooling s1+seqmatch --dataset nordland-sf --seqL 5 --split test --resume ./data/runs/Jun03_15-07-46_l1_w1/ --predictionsFile ./data/results/Jun03_16-07-36_l5_0.npz
