Meet some problems when running 'Construct cost volume' stage

[snowflakewang]

Hello, thank you for your brilliant work!
I am confused when running Construct cost volume stage. I find that, after Predict source views, I have already obtained con_volume_lod_150.pth. So do I still need to run Construct cost volume stage? Or I can directly go to GeoDream Training?

Thanks a lot :)

Hi,
Thank you for your attention. The complete training process requires going through the following three steps. https://github.com/baaivision/GeoDream?tab=readme-ov-file#quickstart

You should go through step 2(step2-run-volume.sh) to obtain con_volume_lod_150.pth. Did you obtain con_volume_lod_150.pth by running step 1(step1-run-mv.sh or run-volume-by-zero123.sh or run-volume-by-sd-zero123.sh)? If so, could you provide more detailed information? We'll investigate whether it's a code issue. Thank you.

Hello. My case is as below:
In my conda environment, I first ran the code:

cd ./mv-diffusion
sh run-volume-by-zero123.sh "An astronaut riding a horse" "ref_imges/demo.png" # because I want to use Zero123-XL

After that, I got con_volume_lod_150.pth in the 'mv-diffusion/volume/An_astronaut_riding_a_horse/' folder.

Thanks for your quick reply! :)

Hi,
This is not the expected result. We recommend continuing with step 2(step2-run-volume.sh) and step 3 (https://github.com/baaivision/GeoDream#geodream-training) to observe the program's execution and provide further feedback. We will also conduct further investigations to identify the reasons. Thank you very much.

I see. I will run the code following your instructions and check whether the result is reasonable.

Thank you! :)

Hi,
I sincerely apologize for any confusion caused by the ambiguity in our previous README. We have reorganized the README to provide clearer instructions for running the program. Please refer to the updated section for more precise guidance on execution.

Thanks a lot for your revised instructions, which make the code running process more clear for me! I think there is no misleading term for me now.

Many thanks to you, again!! :)
