Practical overview
When it fits
Use MonoScene when you need a research-code workflow for single-image semantic 3D occupancy prediction and can work with its documented Python, PyTorch and CUDA versions and dataset requirements.
Who it is for
- Computer-vision researchers studying monocular 3D scene completion or occupancy prediction.
- Developers prototyping image-based 3D perception workflows.
- Teams evaluating a research implementation on the datasets named in its documentation.
Documented uses
- Generate semantic 3D occupancy predictions from images using the documented model workflow.
- Prepare NYUv2 or SemanticKITTI data for the repository's workflow.
- Run documented inference on NYUv2, SemanticKITTI or KITTI-360.
- Visualize prediction outputs using the documented visualization approach.
Requirements & limits
The code repository is public and specifies the Apache-2.0 license. Its documented setup is a local Python environment with PyTorch and CUDA.
- The documented software stack is Python 3.7, PyTorch 1.7.1 and CUDA 10.2, plus additional dependencies.
- Dataset preparation and path configuration are part of the workflow; NYUv2 and SemanticKITTI require preprocessing.
- The repository documents KITTI-360 for inference, not training.
- The documented visualization uses Mayavi and points to Open3D-based code as an alternative.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Generate predictions for a supported dataset
Prepare a documented dataset and run MonoScene's inference script to write predictions to an output folder.
Before you start
- A MonoScene checkout and an environment using the documented Python 3.7, PyTorch 1.7.1 and CUDA 10.2 stack, with the listed dependencies installed.
- A supported dataset: NYUv2, SemanticKITTI or KITTI-360. Dataset paths and preprocessing data must be prepared as described for the chosen dataset.
- The corresponding pretrained model placed in the repository's trained_models folder.
Steps
Follow the repository's installation instructions and prepare the chosen dataset; run the documented preprocessing steps for NYUv2 or SemanticKITTI.
Create an output folder and set MONOSCENE_OUTPUT to its path; set the dataset-specific root and preprocessing path variables required by the inference command.
From the repository, run monoscene/scripts/generate_output.py with the documented dataset value and paths: NYU, kitti or kitti_360. For KITTI-360, provide a sequence as well.
Expected outcome
The inference script is configured to generate predictions in the specified output folder for the selected dataset.
Guide limitations
- The documented inference targets are the NYUv2 test set, SemanticKITTI validation set and KITTI-360 sequences.
- KITTI-360 is documented for inference only.
- The guide describes repository instructions, not a verified execution or a guarantee of compatibility with other environments.
Compare options for Model inference and serving
These projects document a common task and share a project role. This is a source-based comparison, not an execution benchmark or a guarantee of interchangeability.
| Project | Documented purpose | Platform | Access and requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monoscene | Generate semantic 3D occupancy predictions from images using the documented model workflow. | Cloud | The code repository is public and specifies the Apache-2.0 license. Its documented setup is a local Python environment with PyTorch and CUDA. |
| Pulse Of Motion | Estimate a video's physical frame rate from its visual dynamics. | Linux | The repository is public. Its README describes a released checkpoint that downloads from Hugging Face on first inference, with a manual download option. The strongest internal model is not fully released; the README directs interested users to contact the project about access. No license information is provided in the repository evidence. |
| Neural Image Assessment | Train the model using AVA images and rating annotations. | Cloud, Linux, macOS, Windows |
