OmniSyn

This repo contains code for training and evaluating OmniSyn.
OmniSyn predicts depth from two panoramas and then renders meshes using PyTorch3D from intermediate positions.

Getting Started

1. Setup a conda environment

   conda create -n omnisyn python=3.7
   conda activate omnisyn
   conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio cudatoolkit=11.3 -c pytorch
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   conda install habitat-sim=0.1.6 headless -c conda-forge -c aihabitat

2. Download our processed CARLA dataset.

3. Download our CARLA model weights to example/ and run our selected example to check everything is working.

   python train_inpainting.py -c example/config_example.txt

Currently, the main scripts are:

• train_depth.py which trains the depth estimator only.
• train_inpainting.py to train the inpainting component.

Notes

Our pretrained carla model uses an older version of PyTorch3D.
pip install git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/pytorch3d.git@07d7e12644ee48ea0b544c07becacdafe93c260a
