Overview

Given a precise localization in the environment, our panoptic mapping approach comprises two steps. We first apply EMSANet – an efficient RGB-D panoptic segmentation approach – to the current set of input images (color and depth). Unlike other approaches, we decided in favor of an RGB-D approach as depth provides complementary information that helps segmenting cluttered indoor scenes. Afterward, the obtained panoptic segmentation, the depth image, and the current pose are passed to the panoptic mapping stage.

We evaluate our panoptic mapping approach on Hypersim and ScanNet in 3D and 2D. The evaluation protocol builds upon the publicly available ScanNet benchmark pipeline. Unfortunately, the ScanNet pipeline does not feature a panoptic evaluation. Therefore, we extend the existing pipeline with a complementary panoptic evaluation task.

2D evaluation

We evaluate the predictions of EMSANet as well as back-projections of our panoptic mapping approach in 2D on three tasks:

2D semantic task: the original ScanNet 2D Semantic Label Prediction task with 20 semantic classes (metric: mIoU)
2D semantic instance task: the original ScanNet 2D Semantic Instance Prediction task, i.e., evaluation of foreground instances of thing classes with corresponding semantic class and segmentation mask (metric: AP_50)
2D panoptic task: the proposed complementary dense panoptic evaluation taking into account both stuff and thing classes (metric: PQ and mIoU)

The data format for our proposed 2D panoptic task follows the same naming convention and data format as the original ScanNet 2D Semantic Label Prediction task. Label encoding is similar to the ground-truth encoding for the ScanNet 2D Semantic Instance Prediction task. However, as Hypersim features much more (small) instances than ScanNet, label encoding cannot be done in grayscale png16 (uint16) with sem*1000+ins. Instead, we encode panoptic labels as RGB png8 with R: semantic class (uint8), G+B: instance id (uint16), i.e., sem*(1<<16)+ins is used. We also adopt the same label encoding for encoding the ground truth for the 2D semantic instance task to support Hypersim.

We describe the 2D ground-truth generation below in section Extract 2D ground truth and EMSANet predictions for evaluation / mapping.

3D evaluation

Similar to the 2D evaluation, we evaluate our panoptic mapping approach in 3D on the same three tasks:

3D semantic task: the original 3D Semantic Label Prediction task with 20 semantic classes (metric: mIoU)
3D semantic instance task: the original ScanNet 3D Semantic Instance Prediction task, i.e., evaluation of foreground instances of thing classes with corresponding semantic class and segmentation mask (metric: AP_50)
3D panoptic task: the proposed complementary dense panoptic evaluation taking into account both stuff and thing classes (metric: PQ and mIoU)

The ground truth for all three tasks is given as txt files with each line describing the label of a corresponding point in a point-cloud representation. For the 3D semantic instance task and the 3D panoptic task, similar to 2D, we change the label encoding in the txt files from sem*1000+ins to sem*(1<<16)+ins to support Hypersim as well.

We describe the 3D ground-truth generation below in section Extract 3D ground truth.

Usage

To enable other researchers to have a similar setup and to compare to our panoptic mapping approach, we share the pipeline for data preparation and evaluation as well as the training details and weights of all neural networks involved. Follow the steps below to reproduce results or to integrate parts in our pipeline.

Setup and environment

The required source code is distributed across multiple existing repositories that have been updated along with this publication. To make it easier to set up the environment, we provide this meta repository that contains all required repositories as submodules.

Clone repositories:

# do not forget the '--recursive' argument to clone all submodules
git clone --recursive https://github.com/TUI-NICR/panoptic_mapping.git

REPO_ROOT="/path/to/this/repository"

Set up anaconda environment including most relevant dependencies:

# create conda environment from YAML file
conda env create -f panoptic_mapping.yaml
conda activate panoptic_mapping

Install remaining packages required for preparing datasets and EMSANet:

# dataset package - required for preparing the datasets and EMSANet
python -m pip install -e ${REPO_ROOT}/emsanet/lib/nicr-scene-analysis-datasets[withpreparation,with3d]

# multi-task scene analysis package - required for EMSANet and metric calculation
python -m pip install -e ${REPO_ROOT}/emsanet/lib/nicr-multitask-scene-analysis

Patch ScanNet submodule: We have modified the ScanNet benchmark scripts to:
- support Python 3.X
- support the Hypersim dataset (requires changing label representation from sem*1000+ins to sem*(1<<16)+ins, as Hypersim has more than 1000 instances in a scene)
- feature a panoptic evaluation tasks in both 2D and 3D
- write results as *.json files in addition to existing *.txt files (enables parsing of results)
The patch below applies all the changes required to the original ScanNet benchmark code.
```
cd ${REPO_ROOT}/evaluation
patch -s -p0 < scannet_benchmark_code.patch
```
Even after the patch is applied, the code quality of the benchmark scripts is still a bit rough. However, it is not up to us to improve on that.
Build Cython extension for faster 2D semantic evaluation:

The published original ScanNet benchmark script for the 2D semantic task is very slow. Therefore, we re-added the Cython implementation from cityscapesScripts for faster evaluation. Follow the instructions below to compile the extension to get results in a fraction of the time.
```
# install cython
python -m pip install cython   # last tested: 0.29.33

# build extension
cd ${REPO_ROOT}/evaluation/ScanNet/BenchmarkScripts/2d_evaluation
rm __init__.py    # this empty file needs to be removed to avoid compiler errors
python setup.py build_ext --inplace
```

Extract 2D ground truth and EMSANet predictions for evaluation / mapping

To extract the predictions of our EMSANet model for Hypersim and ScanNet, use the inference_dataset.py script provided in the EMSANet submodule in ./emsanet. The script supports multiple output formats, specified by the --inference-output-format argument:

scannet-semantic: export semantic predictions of EMSANet and corresponding GT for the 2D semantic task
scannet-instance: export instance part of the panoptic predictions of EMSANet and corresponding GT for the 2D semantic instance task
scannet-panoptic: export panoptic predictions of EMSANet and corresponding GT for the proposed 2D panoptic task
mapping: export EMSANet predictions for subsequent mapping

Adjust --inference-batch-size to your GPU memory. The predefined batch size of 2 enables inference on GPUs with at least 8GB VRAM.

Extract 3D ground truth

In the ScanNet benchmark, evaluation in 3D is done by mapping created representations to annotated ground-truth representations. While ScanNet provides annotated meshes as ground truth, such ground-truth representations are missing for Hypersim. Therefore, we generated them ourselves for Hypersim.

Hypersim

Ground-truth point clouds for Hypersim are created by applying a voxel-grid filter with a voxel size of 1cm to the point cloud of each camera trajectory. The most frequent annotation is used to assign a ground-truth annotation to each voxel. We further limit the maximum distance to a reasonable value of 20m.

Use the nicr_sa_prepare_labeled_point_clouds entry point provided in our nicr-scene-analysis-datasets python package to create the 3D ground truth.

You can use the nicr_sa_labeled_pc_viewer entry point in our nicr-scene-analysis-datasets python package to browse the generated ground-truth data. Note that the point clouds already contain RGB and label information. However, the viewer can also be used to visualize mapped predictions. See the --semantic-label-filepath and --panoptic-label-filepath arguments in the example below. Replace the given ground-truth files with our predicted files to visualize results.

For ScanNet, we provide a script that automates 3D ground-truth generation and copies the existing ply files to the same folder structure as for Hypersim.

You can use the nicr_sa_labeled_pc_viewer entry point in our nicr-scene-analysis-datasets python package to browse the generated ground-truth data. Note that the original ScanNet point clouds only contain RGB information. The viewer can be used to further visualize labels and mapped predictions.

Run mapping experiments

Our panoptic mapping approach is implemented using the middleware for robotic applications (MIRA). However, integrating our pipeline for data processing in ROS workflows is straightforward. We refer to the dataset reader classes in our nicr-scene-analysis-datasets python package.

Once mapping is done, store the results in the following format and folder structure:

2D (i.e., for back-projections):

2D semantic task: create prediction files similar to EMSANet predictions in ${REPO_ROOT}/trained_models/{hypersim,scannet}/inference_outputs_r34_NBt1D/{hypersim,scannet}/{valid,test}/scannet_semantic/pred_path_semantic (see section Extract 2D ground truth and EMSANet predictions for evaluation / mapping)
2D semantic instance task: create prediction files similar to EMSANet predictions in ${REPO_ROOT}/trained_models/{hypersim,scannet}/inference_outputs_r34_NBt1D/{hypersim,scannet}/{valid,test}/scannet_instance/pred_path_panoptic_instance (see section Extract 2D ground truth and EMSANet predictions for evaluation / mapping)
2D panoptic task: create prediction files similar to EMSANet predictions in ${REPO_ROOT}/trained_models/{hypersim,scannet}/inference_outputs_r34_NBt1D/{hypersim,scannet}/{valid,test}/scannet_panoptic/pred_path (see section Extract 2D ground truth and EMSANet predictions for evaluation / mapping)

3D:

3D semantic task: create prediction files similar to the ground-truth files in ${REPO_ROOT}/datasets/{hypersim_3d,scannet_3d}/{valid,test}/scannet_benchmark_gt/semantic folder (see section Extract 3D ground truth)
3D semantic instance task: create prediction files as described for the original ScanNet 3D Semantic Instance Prediction task
3D panoptic task: create prediction files similar to the ground-truth files in ${REPO_ROOT}/datasets/{hypersim_3d,scannet_3d}/{valid,test}/scannet_benchmark_gt/semantic_instance folder (see section Extract 3D ground truth)

Evaluate mapping results

2D evaluation

Note that the ground truth in the correct format was extracted along with the EMSANet predictions in section Extract 2D ground truth and EMSANet predictions for evaluation / mapping.

3D evaluation

Note that 3D evaluation in the ScanNet benchmark is done by comparing *.txt files containing the labels assigned to each point of the ground-truth representation. Therefore, it is important that prediction and ground truth are aligned. An easy way to double-check this is to visualize the prediction over the ground-truth representation using our nicr_sa_labeled_pc_viewer entry point (see instructions in section Extract 3D ground truth).

cd ${REPO_ROOT}/evaluation/ScanNet/BenchmarkScripts/3d_evaluation

DATASET="hypersim"  # hypersim / scannet
SPLIT="valid"       # valid / test for hypersim, test for scannet
GT_BASEPATH=${REPO_ROOT}/datasets/${DATASET}_3d/${SPLIT}/scannet_benchmark_gt
PRED_BASEPATH="/path/to/your/3d_results"

# 3D semantic task (note, this evaluation is quite slow)
python evaluate_semantic_label.py \
  --dataset ${DATASET} \
  --pred_path ${PRED_BASEPATH}/semantic \
  --gt_path ${GT_BASEPATH}/semantic \
  --output_file ${PRED_BASEPATH}/evaluation_semantic.txt

# 3D semantic-instance task (instance)
python evaluate_semantic_instance.py \
  --dataset ${DATASET} \
  --shift $((2**16)) \
  --pred_path ${PRED_BASEPATH}/semantic_instance \
  --gt_path ${GT_BASEPATH}/semantic_instance \
  --output_file ${PRED_BASEPATH}/evaluation_semantic_instance.txt

# 3D panoptic task
python evaluate_panoptic.py \
  --dataset ${DATASET} \
  --shift $((2**16)) \
  --pred_path ${PRED_BASEPATH}/panoptic \
  --gt_path ${GT_BASEPATH}/semantic_instance \
