Translating Videos to Commands for Robotic Manipulation with Deep Recurrent Neural Networks

By A Nguyen et al. - ICRA 2018

Requirements

• Tensorflow >= 1.0 (used 1.1.0)

Training

• Clone the repository to your $VC_Folder
• We train the network using IIT-V2C dataset
• You can extract the features for each frames in the input videos using any network (e.g., VGG, ResNet, etc.)
• For a quick start, the pre-extracted features with ResNet50 is available here.
• Extract the file you downloaded to $VC_Folder/data
• Start training: python train.py in $VC_Folder/main

Predict & evaluate

• Predict: python predict.py in $VC_Folder/main folder
• Prepare the results for evaluation: python prepare_evaluation_format.py in $VC_Folder/evaluation folder
• Evaluate: python cocoeval.py in $VC_Folder/evaluation folder
