In this repository we provide code for loading data and verifying the submission for the benchmarks. For details regarding the dataset, visit the DSEC webpage.

1. Clone

git clone [email protected]:uzh-rpg/DSEC.git

2. Install conda environment to run example code

conda create -n dsec python=3.8
conda activate dsec
conda install -y -c anaconda numpy
conda install -y -c numba numba
conda install -y -c conda-forge h5py blosc-hdf5-plugin opencv scikit-video tqdm prettytable imageio
# only for dataset loading:
conda install -y -c pytorch pytorch torchvision cudatoolkit=10.2
# only for visualilzation in the dataset loading:
conda install -y -c conda-forge matplotlib

We provide a python script to ensure that the structure of the submission directory is correct. Usage example:

python check_disparity_submission.py SUBMISSION_DIR EVAL_DISPARITY_TIMESTAMPS_DIR

where EVAL_DISPARITY_TIMESTAMPS_DIR is the path to the unzipped directory containing evaluation timestamps. It can downloaded on the webpage or directly here. SUBMISSION_DIR is the path to the directory containing your submission.

Follow the instructions on the webpage for a detailed description of the submission format.
