Speed Evaluation

Robustness

The RoboDepth Challenge Team is evaluating the robustness of different depth estimation algorithms. Lite-Mono has achieved the best robustness to date.

Data Preparation

Please refer to Monodepth2 to prepare your KITTI data.

Single Image Test

python test_simple.py --load_weights_folder path/to/your/weights/folder --image_path path/to/your/test/image

Evaluation

python evaluate_depth.py --load_weights_folder path/to/your/weights/folder --data_path path/to/kitti_data/ --model lite-mono

Training

dependency installation

pip install 'git+https://github.com/saadnaeem-dev/pytorch-linear-warmup-cosine-annealing-warm-restarts-weight-decay'

start training

python train.py --data_path path/to/your/data --model_name mytrain --batch_size 12 --mypretrain path/to/your/pretrained/weights

tensorboard visualization

tensorboard --log_dir ./tmp/mytrain
