KITTI

GitHub PyPI - Python Version PyPI PyPI - Downloads

wernstrom

So this package is a modification for what I use and a specific set of KITTI data that doesn't appear to follow the standard KITTI format. Use at own risk, your computer might melt or become sentient and take over the world!

This package provides a minimal set of tools for working with the KITTI dataset [1] in Python. So far only the raw datasets and odometry benchmark datasets are supported.

Layout

- Kitti dataset
  +- calib
  | +- 0000.txt
  | +- 00NN.txt
  +- oxts
  | +- 0000.txt
  | +- 00NN.txt
  +- image_00 (not used)
  +- image_01 (not used)
  +- image_02
  | +- 0000
  | | +- 000000.png
  | | +- NNNNNN.png
  | +- 00NN
  |   +- 000000.png
  |   +- NNNNNN.png
  +- image_03
    +- same as image_02

Assumptions

This package assumes that you have also downloaded the calibration data associated with the sequences you want to work on (these are separate files from the sequences themselves).

from wernstrom import get_data

# download the zip data to current directory ... nothing fancy here!
get_data("image_2")

Notation

Homogeneous coordinate transformations are provided as 4x4 numpy.array objects and are denoted as T_destinationFrame_originFrame.

Pinhole camera intrinsics for camera N are provided as 3x3 numpy.array objects and are denoted as K_camN. Stereo pair baselines are given in meters as b_gray for the monochrome stereo pair (cam0 and cam1), and b_rgb for the color stereo pair (cam2 and cam3).

Example

Camera data is available via generators for easy sequential access (e.g., for visual odometry), and by indexed getter methods for random access (e.g., for deep learning). Images are loaded as PIL.Image objects using Pillow.

import wernstrom as pykitti

basedir = '/your/dataset/dir'
sequence = '19'

# The 'frames' argument is optional - default: None, which loads the whole dataset.
# Calibration, timestamps, and IMU data are read automatically.
# Camera and velodyne data are available via properties that create generators
# when accessed, or through getter methods that provide random access.
data = pykitti.raw(basedir, sequence, frames=range(0, 50, 5))

# dataset.calib:         Calibration data are accessible as a named tuple
# dataset.timestamps:    Timestamps are parsed into a list of datetime objects
# dataset.oxts:          List of OXTS packets and 6-dof poses as named tuples
# dataset.camN:          Returns a generator that loads individual images from camera N
# dataset.get_camN(idx): Returns the image from camera N at idx
# dataset.gray:          Returns a generator that loads monochrome stereo pairs (cam0, cam1)
# dataset.get_gray(idx): Returns the monochrome stereo pair at idx
# dataset.rgb:           Returns a generator that loads RGB stereo pairs (cam2, cam3)
# dataset.get_rgb(idx):  Returns the RGB stereo pair at idx
# dataset.position:      Returns an array of x,y positions in meters

point_cam0 = data.calib.T_cam0_velo.dot(point_velo)

point_imu = np.array([0,0,0,1])
point_w = [o.T_w_imu.dot(point_imu) for o in data.oxts]

for cam0_image in data.cam0:
    # do something
    pass

cam2_image, cam3_image = data.get_rgb(3)

Transforms T_w_imu

"The T_w_imu convention refers to the transformation from IMU to the world coordinate system (so notation is T_destinationFrame_originFrame)." ref

OpenCV

PIL Image data can be converted to an OpenCV-friendly format using numpy and cv2.cvtColor:

img_np = np.array(img)
img_cv2 = cv2.cvtColor(img_np, cv2.COLOR_RGB2BGR)

Note: This package does not actually require that OpenCV be installed on your system, except to run demo_raw_cv2.py.
