Requirement: GGCN implemented by MXNET 1.5.0

make sure you have gcc version suggested by MXNET 1.5.0

Install Our CUDA modules to MXNET Libary:

cd gridifyop
vim Makefile  # then change mx_home to your mxnet-apache directory, and adjust nvcc command according to your gpu model and cuda version. here we use compute power 61 and 75 for 1080 ti and 2080 ti. save the change
make
cd ..

Data Preparation

• Classification

  • ModelNet40

  We refer to pointnet https://github.com/charlesq34/pointnet/blob/master/provider.py

  cd data/
  wget https://shapenet.cs.stanford.edu/media/modelnet40_ply_hdf5_2048.zip
  unzip modelnet40_ply_hdf5_2048.zip
  unzip it and put it inside data/
  

  • ModelNet10

  please refer to pointnet++'s github

  download  modelnet40_normal_resampled from https://github.com/charlesq34/pointnet2
  take the modelnet10_train.txt, modelnet10_test.txt and extract from modelnet40_ply_hdf5_2048 to create a modelnet10_ply_hdf5_2048
  or use modelnet40_normal_resampled directly, but configuration file configs_10.yaml new: True -> False
  

• Segmentation/ScanNet

  Please refer to pointnet++ for downloading ScanNet use link:

  # in data/
  wget https://shapenet.cs.stanford.edu/media/scannet_data_pointnet2.zip
  unzip scannet_data_pointnet2.zip
  mv data scannet
  
  
  

Training

• Classification

  • ModelNet40

  cd classification
  nohup python -u train/train_gpu_ggcn_mdl40.py &> mdl40.log & 
  
  

  • ModelNet10

  please refer to pointnet++

  cd classification
  nohup python -u train/train_gpu_ggcn_mdl10.py &> mdl10.log &
  
  

• Segmentation

  • ScanNet

  Please refer to pointnet++ for downloading ScanNet use link:

  cd segmentation
  
  ### then you cd configs -> go to configs.yaml to choose 8192 points model or 81920 points model by leaving one of them uncommented
  
  nohup python -u train_test/train_ggcn_scannet.py &> train.log  &
  

Testing

• Segmentation

  • ScanNet

  cd segmentation
  
  ### then you cd configs -> go to configs.yaml to choose 8192 points model or 81920 points model by leaving one of them uncommented
  ### you should also change load_model_prefix to the intented trained model file in your output directory.
  
  nohup python -u train_test/test_ggcn_scannet.py &> test.log  &
