Modern neural networks use building blocks such as convolutions that are equivariant to arbitrary 2D translations
$(t_u, t_v)$ . However, these vanilla blocks are not equivariant to arbitrary 3D translations$(t_x, t_y, t_z)$ in the projective manifold. Even then, all monocular 3D detectors use vanilla blocks to obtain the 3D coordinates, a task for which the vanilla blocks are not designed for. This paper takes the first step towards convolutions equivariant to arbitrary 3D translations in the projective manifold. Since the depth is the hardest to estimate for monocular detection, this paper proposes Depth EquiVarIAnt NeTwork (DEVIANT) built with existing scale equivariant steerable blocks. As a result, DEVIANT is equivariant to the depth translations$(t_z)$ in the projective manifold whereas vanilla networks are not. The additional depth equivariance forces the DEVIANT to learn consistent depth estimates, and therefore, DEVIANT achieves state-of-the-art monocular 3D detection results on KITTI and Waymo datasets in the image-only category and performs competitively to methods using extra information. Moreover, DEVIANT works better than vanilla networks in cross-dataset evaluation.
Much of the codebase is based on GUP Net. Some implementations are from GrooMeD-NMS and PCT. Scale Equivariant Steerable (SES) implementations are from SiamSE.

Requirements
- Python 3.7
- PyTorch 1.10
- Torchvision 0.11
- Cuda 11.3
- Ubuntu 18.04/Debian 8.9
This is tested with NVIDIA A100 GPU. Other platforms have not been tested. Clone the repo first. Unless otherwise stated, the below scripts and instructions assume the working directory is the directory DEVIANT:
git clone https://github.com/abhi1kumar/DEVIANT.git
cd DEVIANT- Cuda & Python
Build the DEVIANT environment by installing the requirements:
conda create --name DEVIANT --file conda_GUP_environment_a100.txt
conda activate DEVIANT
pip install opencv-python pandas- KITTI, nuScenes and Waymo Data
Follow instructions of data_setup_README.md to setup KITTI, nuScenes and Waymo as follows:

Run the following to generate the KITTI binaries corresponding to R40:
sudo apt-get install libopenblas-dev libboost-dev libboost-all-dev gfortran
sh data/KITTI/kitti_split1/devkit/cpp/build.shWe finally setup the Waymo evaluation. The Waymo evaluation is setup in a different environment py36_waymo_tf to avoid package conflicts with our DEVIANT environment:
# Set up environment
conda create -n py36_waymo_tf python=3.7
conda activate py36_waymo_tf
conda install cudatoolkit=11.3 -c pytorch
# Newer versions of tf are not in conda. tf>=2.4.0 is compatible with conda.
pip install tensorflow-gpu==2.4
conda install pandas
pip3 install waymo-open-dataset-tf-2-4-0 --userTo verify that your Waymo evaluation is working correctly, pass the ground truth labels as predictions for a sanity check. Type the following:
/mnt/home/kumarab6/anaconda3/envs/py36_waymo_tf/bin/python -u data/waymo/waymo_eval.py --sanityYou should see AP numbers as 100 in every entry after running this sanity check.
Train the model:
chmod +x scripts_training.sh
./scripts_training.shThe current Waymo config files use the full val set in training. For Waymo models, we had subsampled Waymo validation set by a factor of 10 (4k images) to save training time as in DD3D. Change val_split_name from 'val' to 'val_small' in waymo configs to use subsampled Waymo val set.
We provide logs/models/predictions for the main experiments on KITTI Val /KITTI Test/Waymo Val data splits available to download here.

Make output folder in the DEVIANT directory:
mkdir outputPlace models in the output folder as follows:
DEVIANT
├── output
│ ├── config_run_201_a100_v0_1
│ ├── run_221
│ ├── run_250
│ ├── run_1050
│ └── run_1051
│
│ ...Then, to test, run the file as:
chmod +x scripts_inference.sh
./scripts_inference.shTo get qualitative plots and visualize the predicted+GT boxes, type the following:
python plot/plot_qualitative_output.py --dataset kitti --folder output/run_221/results_test/data
python plot/plot_qualitative_output.py --dataset waymo --folder output/run_1051/results_test/dataType the following to reproduce our other plots:
python plot/plot_sesn_basis.py
python plot/visualize_output_of_cnn_and_sesn.py- Inference on older cuda version For inference on older cuda version, type the following before running inference:
source cuda_9.0_env- Correct Waymo version You should see a 16th column in each ground truth file inside
data/waymo/validation/label/. This corresponds to thenum_lidar_points_per_box. If you do not see this column, run:
cd data/waymo
python waymo_check.py to see if num_lidar_points_per_box is printed. If nothing is printed, you are using the wrong Waymo dataset version and you should download the correct dataset version.
- Cannot convert a symbolic Tensor (strided_slice:0) to a numpy array This error indicates that you're trying to pass a Tensor to a NumPy call". This means you have a wrong numpy version. Install the correct numpy as:
pip install numpy==1.19.5We thank the authors of GUP Net, GrooMeD-NMS, SiamSE, PCT and patched nuscenes-devkit for their awesome codebases. Please also consider citing them.
