# IGEV-Stereo & IGEV-MVS (CVPR 2023)

This repository contains the source code for our paper:

[Iterative Geometry Encoding Volume for Stereo Matching](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.06615.pdf)<br/>

## Demos
Pretrained models can be downloaded from [google drive](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1SsMHRyN7808jDViMN1sKz1Nx-71JxUuz?usp=share_link)

We assume the downloaded pretrained weights are located under the pretrained_models directory.

You can demo a trained model on pairs of images. To predict stereo for Middlebury, run
```
python demo.py --restore_ckpt ./pretrained_models/sceneflow/sceneflow.pth
```

## Comparison with RAFT-Stereo

| Method | KITTI 2012 <br> (3-noc) | KITTI 2015 <br> (D1-all) | Memory (G) | Runtime (s) |
|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|
| RAFT-Stereo | 1.30 % | 1.82 % | 1.02 | 0.38 |
| IGEV-Stereo | 1.12 % | 1.59 % | 0.66 | 0.18 |


## Environment
* NVIDIA RTX 3090
* Python 3.8
* Pytorch 1.12

### Create a virtual environment and activate it.

```
conda create -n IGEV_Stereo python=3.8
conda activate IGEV_Stereo
```
### Dependencies

```
conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio cudatoolkit=11.3 -c pytorch -c nvidia
pip install opencv-python
pip install scikit-image
pip install tensorboard
pip install matplotlib 
pip install tqdm
pip install timm==0.5.4
```

## Required Data
To evaluate/train IGEV-Stereo, you will need to download the required datasets. 
* [Scene Flow](https://lmb.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/resources/datasets/SceneFlowDatasets.en.html)
* [KITTI](http://www.cvlibs.net/datasets/kitti/eval_scene_flow.php?benchmark=stereo)
* [Middlebury](https://vision.middlebury.edu/stereo/data/)
* [ETH3D](https://www.eth3d.net/datasets#low-res-two-view-test-data)

By default `stereo_datasets.py` will search for the datasets in these locations.
