## Introduction

MMDetection3D is an open source object detection toolbox based on PyTorch, towards the next-generation platform for general 3D detection. It is a part of the [OpenMMLab](https://openmmlab.com/) project.

The main branch works with **PyTorch 1.8+**.

<details open>
<summary>Major features</summary>

- **Support multi-modality/single-modality detectors out of box**

  It directly supports multi-modality/single-modality detectors including MVXNet, VoteNet, PointPillars, etc.

- **Support indoor/outdoor 3D detection out of box**

  It directly supports popular indoor and outdoor 3D detection datasets, including ScanNet, SUNRGB-D, Waymo, nuScenes, Lyft, and KITTI. For nuScenes dataset, we also support [nuImages dataset](https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmdetection3d/tree/main/configs/nuimages).

- **Natural integration with 2D detection**

  All the about **300+ models, methods of 40+ papers**, and modules supported in [MMDetection](https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmdetection/blob/3.x/docs/en/model_zoo.md) can be trained or used in this codebase.

- **High efficiency**

  It trains faster than other codebases. The main results are as below. Details can be found in [benchmark.md](./docs/en/notes/benchmarks.md). We compare the number of samples trained per second (the higher, the better). The models that are not supported by other codebases are marked by `✗`.

Like [MMDetection](https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmdetection) and [MMCV](https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmcv), MMDetection3D can also be used as a library to support different projects on top of it.

## What's New

### Highlight

In version 1.4, MMDetecion3D refactors the Waymo dataset and accelerates the preprocessing, training/testing setup, and evaluation of Waymo dataset. We also extends the support for camera-based, such as Monocular and BEV, 3D object detection models on Waymo. A detailed description of the Waymo data information is provided [here](https://mmdetection3d.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced_guides/datasets/waymo.html).

Besides, in version 1.4, MMDetection3D provides [Waymo-mini](https://download.openmmlab.com/mmdetection3d/data/waymo_mmdet3d_after_1x4/waymo_mini.tar.gz) to help community users get started with Waymo and use it for quick iterative development.

**v1.4.0** was released in 8/1/2024：

- Support the training of [DSVT](<(https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.06051)>) in `projects`

- Support the inference of [DSVT](<(https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.06051)>) in `projects`
- Support downloading datasets from [OpenDataLab](https://opendatalab.com/) using `mim`

**v1.1.1** was released in 30/5/2023:

- Support [TPVFormer](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2302.07817.pdf) in `projects`
