πŸ€– Models

The following checkpoints are available for inference. Note that the Marigold (Depth) and GeoWizard (Depth & Normals) diffusion estimators are the official checkpoints provided by their respective authors and were not trained by us. Following the Marigold training regimen, we have trained a Marigold diffusion estimator for normals.

"E2E FT" denotes models we have fine-tuned end-to-end on task-specific losses, either starting from the pretrained diffusion estimator or directly from Stable Diffusion. Since the fine-tuned models are single-step deterministic models, the noise should always be zeros and the ensemble size and number of inference steps should always be 1.

--seed Sets the seed.
--batch_size Batched inference when ensembling; default 1.
--resample_method Resampling method used for resizing the RGB input and generated output; bilinear, bicubic, or nearest; default bilinear.
  1. GeoWizard checkpoints:
python GeoWizard/run_infer.py \
    --pretrained_model_path="GonzaloMG/geowizard-e2e-ft" \
    --domain indoor \
    --input_dir="input" \
    --output_dir="output/geowizard_ft"
Argument Description
--pretrained_model_path Hugging Face model path.
--domain Domain with respect to the RGB input; indoor, outdoor, or object.
--input_dir Path to the input images.
--output_dir Path to the output depth and normal images.
--denoise_steps Number of inference steps; default 1 for E2E FT models.
--ensemble_size Number of samples for ensemble; default 1 for E2E FT models.
--timestep_spacing Defines how timesteps are distributed; trailing or leading; default trailing for the fixed inference schedule.
--noise Noise types; gaussian, pyramid, or zeros; default zeros for E2E FT models.
--processing_res Resolution the model uses for generation; 0 for matching the RGB input resolution; default 768.
--output_processing_res If True, the generated image is not resized to match the RGB input resolution; default False.
--half_precision If True, operations are performed in half precision; default False.
--seed Sets the seed.

By using the correct trailing timestep spacing, it is possible to sample single to few-step depth maps and surface normals from diffusion estimators. These samples will be blurry but become sharper by increasing the number of inference steps, e.g., from 10 to 50. Metrics can be improved by increasing the ensemble size, e.g., to 10. Since diffusion estimators are probabilistic models, the noise setting can be adjusted to either gaussian noise or multiresolution pyramid noise.

Our single-step deterministic E2E FT models outperform the previously mentioned diffusion estimators.

πŸ“Š Evaluation

We utilize the official Marigold evaluation pipeline to evaluate the affine-invariant depth estimation checkpoints, and we use the official DSINE evaluation pipeline to evaluate the surface normals estimation checkpoints. The code has been streamlined to exclude unnecessary parts, and changes have been marked.

Depth

The Marigold evaluation datasets can be downloaded to data/marigold_eval/ at the root of the project using the following snippet:

wget -r -np -nH --cut-dirs=4 -R "index.html*" -P data/marigold_eval/ https://share.phys.ethz.ch/~pf/bingkedata/marigold/evaluation_dataset/

After downloading, the folder structure should look as follows:

data
└── marigold_eval
    β”œβ”€β”€ diode
    β”‚   └── diode_val.tar
    β”œβ”€β”€ eth3d
    β”‚   └── eth3d.tar
    β”œβ”€β”€ kitti
    β”‚   └── kitti_eigen_split_test.tar
    β”œβ”€β”€ nyuv2
    β”‚   └── nyu_labeled_extracted.tar
    └── scannet
        └── scannet_val_sampled_800_1.tar

Run the 0_infer_eval_all.sh script to evaluate the desired model on all datasets.

./experiments/depth/eval_args/marigold_e2e_ft/0_infer_eval_all.sh
./experiments/depth/eval_args/stable_diffusion_e2e_ft/0_infer_eval_all.sh
./experiments/depth/eval_args/geowizard_e2e_ft/0_infer_eval_all.sh

The evaluation results for the selected model are located in the experiments/depth/marigold directory. For a given dataset, the script first performs the necessary inference, storing the estimations in a prediction folder. Later, these depth maps are aligned and evaluated against the ground truth. Metrics and evaluation settings are available as .txt files.

<model>
└── <dataset>
    β”œβ”€β”€ arguments.txt
    β”œβ”€β”€ eval_metric
    β”‚   └── eval_metrics-least_square.txt
    └── prediction

Normals

The DSINE evaluation datasets (dsine_eval.zip) should be extracted into the data folder at the root of the project. The folder structure should look as follows:

data
└── dsine_eval
   β”œβ”€β”€ ibims
   β”œβ”€β”€ nyuv2
   β”œβ”€β”€ oasis
   β”œβ”€β”€ scannet
   β”œβ”€β”€ sintel
   └── vkitti

Run the following commands to evaluate the models on all datasets.

python -m DSINE.projects.dsine.test \
    experiments/normals/eval_args/marigold_e2e_ft.txt \
    --mode benchmark
python -m DSINE.projects.dsine.test \
    experiments/normals/eval_args/stable_diffusion_e2e_ft.txt \
    --mode benchmark
python -m DSINE.projects.dsine.test \
    experiments/normals/eval_args/geowizard_e2e_ft.txt \
    --mode benchmark

Evaluation results are saved in the experiments/normals/dsine folder. This includes the used settings (params.txt) and the metrics for each <dataset> (metrics.txt).

dsine
  └── <model-type/model>
      β”œβ”€β”€ log
      β”‚   └── params.txt
      └── test
          └── <dataset>
              └── metrics.txt

πŸ‹οΈ Training

Datasets

The fine-tuned models are trained on the Hypersim and Virtual KITTI 2 datasets.

Hypersim

Download the Hypersim dataset using the dataset_download_images.py script and unzip the files to data/hypersim/raw_data at the root of the project. Download the scene split file from the Hypersim repository and place it in data/hypersim.

data
└── hypersim
    β”œβ”€β”€ metadata_images_split_scene_v1.csv
    └── raw_data
        β”œβ”€β”€ ai_001_001
        β”œβ”€β”€ ...
        └── ai_055_010

Run Marigold's preprocessing script, which will save the processed data to data/hypersim/processed.

python Marigold/script/dataset_preprocess/hypersim/preprocess_hypersim.py \
  --split_csv data/hypersim/metadata_images_split_scene_v1.csv

Download the surface normals in png format using Hypersim's download.py script.

./download.py --contains normal_cam.png --silent

Place the downloaded surface normals in data/hypersim/processed/normals.

The final processed file structure should look like this:

data
└── hypersim
    └── processed
        β”œβ”€β”€ normals
        β”‚   β”œβ”€β”€ ai_001_001
        β”‚   β”œβ”€β”€ ...
        β”‚   └── ai_055_010
        └── train
            β”œβ”€β”€ ai_001_001
            β”œβ”€β”€ ...
            β”œβ”€β”€ ai_055_010
            └── filename_meta_train.csv

Virtual KITTI 2

Download the RGB (vkitti_2.0.3_rgb.tar) and depth (vkitti_2.0.3_depth.tar) files from the official website. Place them in data/virtual_kitti_2 at the root of the project and finally extract them using the following shell commands.

mkdir vkitti_2.0.3_rgb && tar -xf vkitti_2.0.3_rgb.tar -C vkitti_2.0.3_rgb
mkdir vkitti_2.0.3_depth && tar -xf vkitti_2.0.3_depth.tar -C vkitti_2.0.3_depth

Virtual KITTI 2 does not provide surface normals. Therefore, we estimate them from the depth maps using discontinuity-aware gradient filters. Run our provided script to generate the normals which will be saved to data/virtual_kitti_2/vkitti_DAG_normals.

python depth-to-normal-translator/python/gen_vkitti_normals.py

The final processed file structure should look like this:

data
└── virtual_kitti_2
    β”œβ”€β”€ vkitti_2.0.3_depth
    β”‚   β”œβ”€β”€ Scene01
    β”‚   β”œβ”€β”€ Scene02
    β”‚   β”œβ”€β”€ Scene06
    β”‚   β”œβ”€β”€ Scene18
    β”‚   └── Scene20
    β”œβ”€β”€ vkitti_2.0.3_rgb
    β”‚   β”œβ”€β”€ Scene01

        β”œβ”€β”€ Scene06
        β”œβ”€β”€ Scene18
        └── Scene20

E2E FT Model Training

To train the end-to-end fine-tuned depth and normals models, run the scripts in the training/scripts directory:

./training/scripts/train_marigold_e2e_ft_depth.sh
./training/scripts/train_stable_diffusion_e2e_ft_depth.sh
./training/scripts/train_marigold_e2e_ft_normals.sh
./training/scripts/train_stable_diffusion_e2e_ft_normals.sh
./training/scripts/train_geowizard_e2e_ft.sh

The fine-tuned models will be saved to model-finetuned at the root of the project.

model-finetuned
    └── <model>
        β”œβ”€β”€ arguments.txt
        β”œβ”€β”€ model_index.json
        β”œβ”€β”€ text_encoder # or image_encoder for GeoWizard
        β”œβ”€β”€ tokenizer
        β”œβ”€β”€ feature_extractor
        β”œβ”€β”€ scheduler
        β”œβ”€β”€ vae
        └── unet 

Note

For multi GPU training, set the desired number of devices and nodes in the training/scripts/multi_gpu.yaml file and replace accelerate launch with accelerate launch --multi_gpu --config_file training/scripts/multi_gpu.yaml in the training scripts.
