1. Prerequisites

• Prerequisites are the same as semidense-lines. If compiling problems met, please refer to semidense-lines and ORB_SLAM2.
• The code is tested in Ubuntu 16.04, opencv 3.2.0/3.3.1, Eigen 3.2.1.

2. Building

chmod +x build.sh       
./build.sh

3. Examples

• 3.0 We provide a demo that uses the TUM rgbd_dataset_freiburg3_long_office_household sequence; please download the dataset beforehand. The offline object bounding boxes are in data/yolo_txts folder.

• 3.1 Object size and orientation estimation.

  • use iForest and line alignment:

    ./Examples/Monocular/mono_tum LineAndiForest [path of tum fr3_long_office]
    

  • only use iForest:

    ./Examples/Monocular/mono_tum iForest [path of tum fr3_long_office]
    

  • without iForest and line alignment:

    ./Examples/Monocular/mono_tum None [path of tum fr3_long_office]
    

  

• 3.2 Data association

  • without data association:

    ./Examples/Monocular/mono_tum NA [path of tum fr3_long_office]
    

  • data association by IoU only:

    ./Examples/Monocular/mono_tum IoU [path of tum fr3_long_office]
    

  • data association by Non-Parametric-test only:

    ./Examples/Monocular/mono_tum NP [path of tum fr3_long_office]
    

  • data association by our ensemble method:

    ./Examples/Monocular/mono_tum EAO [path of tum fr3_long_office]
    

  

• 3.3 The full demo on TUM fr3_long_office sequence:

  ./Examples/Monocular/mono_tum Full [path of tum fr3_long_office]
  

  • If you want to see the semi-dense map, you may have to wait a while after the sequence ends.
  • Since YOLO (which was not trained in this scenario) made a lot of false detections at the start of the sequence, so we adopted a stricter elimination mechanism, which resulted in the deletion of many objects at the start.

5. Note

• This is an incomplete version of our paper. If you want to use it in your work or with other datasets, you should prepare the offline semantic detection/segmentation results or switch to online mode. Besides, you may need to adjust the data association strategy and abnormal object elimination mechanism (We found the misdetection from YOLO has a great impact on the results).
