Data Preparation

Firstly change the directory to data_preprocess and create the data directory.

cd data_preprocess
mkdir ./data

Please download the wts-dataset. Then, put the datasets under ./data. After unzip the datasets, the directory structure should be like this:

.
├── data
│   ├── BDD_PC_5k
│   │   ├── annotations
│   │   │   ├── bbox_annotated
│   │   │   ├── bbox_generated
│   │   │   └── caption
│   │   └── videos
│   ├── WTS
│   │   ├── annotations
│   │   │   ├── bbox_annotated
│   │   │   ├── bbox_generated
│   │   │   └── caption
│   │   └── videos
│   └── test_part
|       ├── view_used_as_main_reference_for_multiview_scenario.csv
│       ├── WTS_DATASET_PUBLIC_TEST
│       └── WTS_DATASET_PUBLIC_TEST_BBOX
└── ... # python and shell scripts

Then run the following script to process the test data:

bash prepare_data_test.sh

After this script is excuted, all the test data is prepared. You can download the fintuned model and run the inference step directly.

Run the following script to process the train data:

bash prepare_data_train.sh

Note that the Openai or Qwen API is required in "prepare_data_train.sh". You should modify the API_KEY in this script.

After the execution, the folder structure should be like this:

.
├── data
│   ├── BDD_PC_5k
│   │   ├── annotations
│   │   │   ├── bbox_annotated
│   │   │   ├── bbox_generated

│   │   └── wts_bdd_val.json
│   ├──best_view_for_test.json
│   └──perspective_test_images.json
└── ... # python and shell scripts

Then the processed annotations could be found under ./processed_anno, and the train json is:

'./data/processed_anno/llava_format/wts_bdd_llava_qa_train_stage_filted_checked.json'

Block-Expansion

We use the block expansion to fine-tune the VLMs. 8~16 blocks are suggested for balancing the performance and efficiency. We add 12 blcoks to the original llava-1.6-34b. the llava-1.6-34b-12block model could be created by these steps:

Download the llava-1.6-34b model to ./models, and add block with this script:

   python block_expansion_llava_1_6.py

Copy the *.json and tokenizer.model form ./models/llava-v1.6-34b to ./models/llava-v1.6-34b-12block;
Modify the num_hidden_layers=72 (new_layer_nums= original_layer_nums+block_layer_nums) in config.json of the llava-1.6-34b-12block model.

Train

We use 8xA100 GPUs for fine-tuning. The training process takes approximately 8 hours by this script:

bash scripts/finetune_block_bigsmall.sh

The fine-tuned model could be download here.

Inference

Firstly, you should check the parameters defined at ./scripts/inference.sh, ensure that all essential files and model exist.

Now you can do inference on WTS_TEST_SET:

bash scripts/inference.sh

Evaluation

We use the wts-dataset for evaluation.
