This is the official implementation of paper "PonderV2: Pave the Way for 3D Foundation Model with A Universal Pre-training Paradigm".

PonderV2 is a comprehensive 3D pre-training framework designed to facilitate the acquisition of efficient 3D representations, thereby establishing a pathway to 3D foundational models. It is a novel universal paradigm to learn point cloud representations by differentiable neural rendering, serving as a bridge between 3D and 2D worlds.

• PonderV2 indoor pre-training configs have bugs before this commit, please make sure to use the fixed ones.
• Structured3D RGB-D data preprocessing has bugs before this commit, please re-generate the processed data if you have used the code before that.

• Dec. 2023: Checkpoint weights are available in model zoo!
• Dec. 2023: Multi-dataset training supported! More instructions on installation and usage are available. Please check out!
• Nov. 2023: Model files are released! Usage instructions, complete codes and checkpoints are coming soon!
• Oct. 2023: PonderV2 is released on arXiv.

• Ubuntu: 18.04 or higher
• CUDA: 11.3 or higher

If you want to run instance segmentation downstream tasks with PointGroup, you should also run the following:

conda install -c bioconda google-sparsehash 
cd libs/pointgroup_ops
python setup.py install --include_dirs=${CONDA_PREFIX}/include
cd ../..

Then uncomment # from .point_group import * in ponder/models/__init__.py.

• Pretraining: Pretrain PonderV2 on indoor or outdoor datasets.

Pre-train PonderV2 (indoor) on single ScanNet dataset with 8 GPUs:

# -g: number of GPUs
# -d: dataset
# -c: config file, the final config is ./config/${-d}/${-c}.py
# -n: experiment name
bash scripts/train.sh -g 8 -d scannet -c pretrain-ponder-spunet-v1m1-0-base -n ponderv2-pretrain-sc

Pre-train PonderV2 (indoor) on ScanNet, S3DIS and Structured3D datasets using Point Prompt Training (PPT) with 8 GPUs:

bash scripts/train.sh -g 8 -d scannet -c pretrain-ponder-ppt-v1m1-0-sc-s3-st-spunet -n ponderv2-pretrain-sc-s3-st

Pre-train PonderV2 (outdoor) on single nuScenes dataset with 4 GPUs:

bash scripts/train.sh -g 4 -d nuscenes -c pretrain-ponder-spunet-v1m1-0-base -n ponderv2-pretrain-nu

• Finetuning: Finetune on downstream tasks with PonderV2 pre-trained checkpoints.

Finetune PonderV2 on ScanNet semantic segmentation downstream task with PPT:

# -w: path to checkpoint
bash scripts/train.sh -g 8 -d scannet -c semseg-ppt-v1m1-0-sc-s3-st-spunet-lovasz-ft -n ponderv2-semseg-ft -w ${PATH/TO/CHECKPOINT}

Finetune PonderV2 on ScanNet instance segmentation downstream task using PointGroup:

bash scripts/train.sh -g 4 -d scannet -c insseg-ppt-v1m1-0-pointgroup-spunet-ft -n insseg-pointgroup-v1m1-0-spunet-ft -w ${PATH/TO/CHECKPOINT}

• Testing: Test a finetuned model on a downstream task.

# Based on experiment folder created by training script
bash scripts/test.sh -g 8 -d scannet -n ponderv2-semseg-ft -w ${CHECKPOINT/NAME}

You can download our trained checkpoint weights in docs/model_zoo.md.

For more detailed options and examples, please refer to docs/getting_started.md.

For more outdoor pre-training and downstream information, you can also refer to UniPAD.
