U-RNN High-resolution spatiotemporal nowcasting of urban flooding

0 Nowcasting performance

  • Visualization of a measured rainfall forecast

  • Quantitative evaluation on the test set

1 Installation

  • Download the code repository.
git clone https://github.com/holmescao/U-RNN
  • Install Python dependencies. (We use Python 3.8 and PyTorch 2.0.0 on a compatible NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090).
conda create -n urnn python=3.8
conda activate urnn
pip install torch==2.0.0 torchvision==0.15.1 torchaudio==2.0.1 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118
cd U-RNN # Into the code root directory
pip install -r requirements.txt -i https://pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/simple

  • Other required dependencies

    • CUDA 11.8

    • cuDNN 8.9.0

Note: other versions will also work, as long as the PyTorch, GPU, CUDA and cuDNN versions are compatible.

2 Data preparation

Download urban flood dataset (note: it was uploaded to Figshare.com, and DOI will be available soon), unzip and put it into the path (<U-RNN_HOME>/data).

The dataset structure as follow:

data
└── urbanflood24
    ├── test
    │   └── flood
    │       └── location16
    │           ├── G1135_intensity_103
    │           │   ├── flood.npy
    │           │   └── rainfall.npy
	...
        └── geodata
            └── location16
                ├── absolute_DSM.npy
                ├── impervious.npy
                └── manhole.npy
    ...  
    └── train
        ├── flood
        │   └── location16
        │       ├── G1135_intensity_117
        │       │   ├── flood.npy
        │       │   └── rainfall.npy
	...
        └── geodata
            └── location16
                ├── absolute_DSM.npy
                ├── impervious.npy
                └── manhole.npy
    ...

3 Trained model weights

We provide the trained U-RNN model weights. Please download and put it into the path (<U-RNN_HOME>/exp/20240202_162801_962166/save_model/checkpoint_939_0.000205376.pth.tar).

4 (optional) Training

Run the follow command in your terminal:

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=1 main.py --device 0 --batch_size 1 --seq_num 28 --use_checkpoint

The root directory for the experimental result is in the path (<U-RNN_HOME>/exp). This script will generate a timestamp as the experiment name and create a folder for saving related files, for example, <U-RNN_HOME>/exp/20240202_162801_962166.

5 Inference

  • First, open test.py, locate the next line of if __name__ == "__main__":, and set the timestamp variable value to the experiment name of your trained model, e.g., timestamp=20240202_162801_962166.

  • Then, run the follow command in your terminal:

python test.py

The results will be saved in the path (<U-RNN_HOME>/exp/<your_expr_name>/figs/). For each rainfall event you will obtain a visualization of the inference results, as shown below:

6 (optional) Inference using TensorRT

  • Convert the model from PyTorch to TensorRT. (We use TensorRT 10.0.0.6).
    • First, open urnn_to_tensorrt.py, locate the next line of if __name__ == "__main__":, and set the timestamp variable value to the experiment name of your trained model, e.g., timestamp=20240202_162801_962166.
    • Then, run the follow command in your terminal:
python urnn_to_tensorrt.py

You will get a TensorRT model URNN.trt in the path (<U-RNN_HOME>/exp/<your_expr_name>/tensorrt/) .

  • Inference using TensorRT
python test.py --trt

The results will be saved in the path (<U-RNN_HOME>/exp/<your_expr_name>/figs/) .
