MMDetection3D V1.0.0rc2 Release

Highlights

• Support spconv 2.0
• Support MinkowskiEngine with MinkResNet
• Support training models on custom datasets with only point clouds
• Update Registry to distinguish the scope of built functions
• Replace mmcv.iou3d with a set of bird-eye-view (BEV) operators to unify the operations of rotated boxes

New Features

• Add loader arguments in the configuration files (#1388)
• Support spconv 2.0 when the package is installed. Users can still use spconv 1.x in MMCV with CUDA 9.0 (only cost more memory) without losing the compatibility of model weights between two versions (#1421)
• Support MinkowskiEngine with MinkResNet (#1422)

Improvements

• Add the documentation for model deployment (#1373, #1436)
• Add Chinese documentation of
  • Speed benchmark (#1379)
  • LiDAR-based 3D detection (#1368)
  • LiDAR 3D segmentation (#1420)
  • Coordinate system refactoring (#1384)
• Support training models on custom datasets with only point clouds (#1393)
• Replace mmcv.iou3d with a set of bird-eye-view (BEV) operators to unify the operations of rotated boxes (#1403, #1418)
• Update Registry to distinguish the scope of building functions (#1412, #1443)
• Replace recommonmark with myst_parser for documentation rendering (#1414)

Bug Fixes

• Fix the show pipeline in the browse_dataset.py (#1376)
• Fix missing init files after coordinate system refactoring (#1383)
• Fix the incorrect yaw in the visualization caused by coordinate system refactoring (#1407)
• Fix NaiveSyncBatchNorm1d and NaiveSyncBatchNorm2d to support non-distributed cases and more general inputs (#1435)
