## Highlights
- :oncoming_automobile: **Planning-oriented philosophy**: UniAD is a Unified Autonomous Driving algorithm framework following a planning-oriented philosophy. Instead of standalone modular design and multi-task learning, we cast a series of tasks, including perception, prediction and planning tasks hierarchically.
- :trophy: **SOTA performance**: All tasks within UniAD achieve SOTA performance, especially prediction and planning (motion: 0.71m minADE, occ: 63.4% IoU, planning: 0.31% avg.Col)
## News
- **`Paper Title Change`**: To avoid confusion with the "goal-point" navigation in Robotics, we change the title from "Goal-oriented" to "Planning-oriented" suggested by Reviewers. Thank you!
- **`Planning Metric`**: Discussion [Ref: https://github.com/OpenDriveLab/UniAD/issues/29]: [Clarification](https://github.com/OpenDriveLab/UniAD/issues/29#issuecomment-1583070151) and [Notice](https://github.com/OpenDriveLab/UniAD/issues/29#issuecomment-1717594344) regarding open-loop planning results comparison.
- **`2023/08/03`** Bugfix [[Commit](https://github.com/OpenDriveLab/UniAD/commit/2e1380143d7af7c93bd67725a11d6960fa4347c6)]: Previously, the visualized planning results were in opposition on the x axis, compared to the ground truth. Now it's fixed.
- **`2023/06/12`** Bugfix [Ref: https://github.com/OpenDriveLab/UniAD/issues/21]: Previously, the performance of the stage1 model (track_map) could not be replicated when trained from scratch, due to mistakenly adding `loss_past_traj` and freezing `img_neck` and `BN`. By removing `loss_past_traj` and unfreezing `img_neck` and `BN` in training, the reported results could be reproduced (AMOTA: 0.393, [stage1_train_log](https://github.com/OpenDriveLab/UniAD/releases/download/v1.0/uniad_reproduce_stage1_gpu16_train.log)).
- **`2023/04/18`** New feature: You can replace BEVFormer with other BEV Encoding methods, e.g., LSS, as long as you provide the `bev_embed` and `bev_pos` in [track_train](https://github.com/OpenDriveLab/UniAD/blob/cb4e3dc336ac9f94897ef3c7d85edba85a507726/projects/mmdet3d_plugin/uniad/detectors/uniad_track.py#L394) and [track_inference](https://github.com/OpenDriveLab/UniAD/blob/cb4e3dc336ac9f94897ef3c7d85edba85a507726/projects/mmdet3d_plugin/uniad/detectors/uniad_track.py#L661). Make sure your bevs and ours are of the same shape.
- **`2023/04/18`** Base-model checkpoints are released.
- **`2023/03/29`** Code & model initial release `v1.0`.
- **`2023/03/21`** :rocket::rocket: UniAD is accepted by CVPR 2023, as an **Award Candidate** (12 out of 2360 accepted papers)!
- **`2022/12/21`** UniAD [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.10156) is available on arXiv.
## Getting Started
- [Installation](docs/INSTALL.md)
- [Prepare Dataset](docs/DATA_PREP.md)
- [Evaluation Example](docs/TRAIN_EVAL.md#example)
- [GPU Requirements](docs/TRAIN_EVAL.md#gpu)
- [Train/Eval](docs/TRAIN_EVAL.md)
## Results and Pre-trained Models
UniAD is trained in two stages. Pretrained checkpoints of both stages will be released and the results of each model are listed in the following tables.
### Stage1: Perception training
> We first train the perception modules (i.e., track and map) to obtain a stable weight initlization for the next stage. BEV features are aggregated with 5 frames (queue_length = 5).
| Method | Encoder | Tracking
AMOTA | Mapping
IoU-lane | config | Download |
| :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---:|:---:|
| UniAD-B | R101 | 0.390 | 0.297 | [base-stage1](projects/configs/stage1_track_map/base_track_map.py) | [base-stage1](https://github.com/OpenDriveLab/UniAD/releases/download/v1.0/uniad_base_track_map.pth) |
### Stage2: End-to-end training
> We optimize all task modules together, including track, map, motion, occupancy and planning. BEV features are aggregated with 3 frames (queue_length = 3).
| Method | Encoder | Tracking
AMOTA | Mapping
IoU-lane | Motion
minADE |Occupancy

| UniAD-B | R101 | 0.363 | 0.313 | 0.705 | 63.7 | 0.29 | [base-stage2](projects/configs/stage2_e2e/base_e2e.py) | [base-stage2](https://github.com/OpenDriveLab/UniAD/releases/download/v1.0.1/uniad_base_e2e.pth) |
### Checkpoint Usage
* Download the checkpoints you need into `UniAD/ckpts/` directory.
* You can evaluate these checkpoints to reproduce the results, following the `evaluation` section in [TRAIN_EVAL.md](docs/TRAIN_EVAL.md).
* You can also initialize your own model with the provided weights. Change the `load_from` field to `path/of/ckpt` in the config and follow the `train` section in [TRAIN_EVAL.md](docs/TRAIN_EVAL.md) to start training.
### Model Structure
The overall pipeline of UniAD is controlled by [uniad_e2e.py](projects/mmdet3d_plugin/uniad/detectors/uniad_e2e.py) which coordinates all the task modules in `UniAD/projects/mmdet3d_plugin/uniad/dense_heads`. If you are interested in the implementation of a specific task module, please refer to its corresponding file, e.g., [motion_head](projects/mmdet3d_plugin/uniad/dense_heads/motion_head.py).
## TODO List
- [ ] All configs & checkpoints
- [ ] Upgrade the implementation of MapFormer from Panoptic SegFormer to [TopoNet](https://github.com/OpenDriveLab/TopoNet), which features the vectorized map representations and topology reasoning.
- [ ] Support larger batch size
- [ ] [Long-term] Improve flexibility for future extensions
- [x] Fix bug: Unable to reproduce the results of stage1 track-map model when training from scratch. [Ref: https://github.com/OpenDriveLab/UniAD/issues/21]
- [x] Visualization codes
- [x] Separating BEV encoder and tracking module
- [x] Base-model configs & checkpoints
- [x] Code initialization
