This is the official implementation of 360-MLC, where we propose a novel approach to fine-tune and evaluate pre-trained layout estimation models on new datasets with domain shifts, and, more importantly, no ground truth is required.

For more detailed information, please refer to:

For fixed issues and change in the implementation, please refer to CHANGELOG

The current implementation uses python 3.7 and Pytorch 1.13. For convenience, we recommend using conda, miniconda, pyenv or any environment tool to keep isolate this implementation.

# Create and activate conda env (mlc) 
conda create -n mlc python=3.7 
conda activate mlc 

# Install Pytorch
conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio pytorch-cuda=11.6 -c pytorch -c nvidia

# Assuming $HOME directory by default
cd ~/
# clone 360-MLC (Note that we have added HorizonNet as a submodule)
git clone --recurse-submodules [email protected]:EnriqueSolarte/360-mlc.git

cd ~/360-mlc

# Install python dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Install MLC library
pip install .

The dataset used in this implementation is the MP3D-FPE dataset released by (Solarte et al. 2019 RA-L). To process this dataset, we have prepared a script for you data/process_mp3d_fpe_data.py -h. Please follow the next commands:

MP3D_FPE_DIR="<MP3D_FPE dataset directory>"
python data/process_mp3d_fpe_data.py --path $MP3D_FPE_DIR

To create pseudo labels based on a pre-trained model, you must use main_create_mlc_labels.py -h by following the next commands:

CKPT=zind # e.g. mp3d, zind, st3d or panos2d3d
python main_create_mlc_labels.py --ckpt $CKPT --cfg ./config/create_mlc_labels.yaml

To download ckpt pre-trained models, you can refer to the official pre-trained models in HorizonNet.

After to download a ckpt model, you need to modify accordingly the cfg file config/trained_models.yaml. Finally, after to generate your mlc-labels (e.g. hn_mp3d__mp3d_fpe__mlc), you may have to update the cfg file config/mvl_data.yaml.

To self-trained a model into a new dataset, e.g MP3D-FPE, you need two main requirements: (1) a pre-trained models and (2) generated mlc pseudo labels. Please check How to create 360-mlc labels for more information.

For self-training using 360-MLC, we have prepared two scripts main_train_w_iou_val.py -h and main_train.py -h. To self-train, follow the next commands:

python main_train_w_iou_val.py --ckpt $CKPT --cfg ./config/train_mlc.yaml --mlc hn_${CKPT}__mp3d_fpe__mlc

python main_train.py --ckpt $CKPT --cfg ./config/train_mlc.yaml --mlc hn_${CKPT}__mp3d_fpe__mlc

All data is saved at .assets/ by default. However, you can modify this in ./config/train_mlc.yaml and ./config/create_mlc_labels.yaml by editing the parameter dirs, e.g.:

dirs: 
  mp3d_fpe_dir: ${workspace_dir}/assets/mp3d_fpe_dataset
  mlc_label_dir: ${workspace_dir}/assets/mlc_labels
  output_dir: ${workspace_dir}/assets/mlc_results
