About the "topk" attribute in the .bin file

[Wajov]

Thanks for sharing your work. I try to use DSM on my own dataset. I have rgb image, depth image and corresponding camera pose for them. But I noticed that the program loaded the "deep_retrieve_full.bin" file and got a "topk" attribute for every frame. I have two questions about that.

1. Is the "topk" representing the sorted correlation values that described in the paragraph "Cost volume", chapter 3.3.1 in the paper?
2. How can I generate the "topk" information for my own dataset?

Thanks a lot.

1. No, this is the retrieval results.
2. You can use any retrieval model like netvlad.

Thank you for your answering. I have trained it on my own dataset but it didn't performed well. I want to figure out whether my config is correct.

1. Should I use the pretrained model pretrained/model_final_f10217.pkl when training on my onw dataset?
2. Should I change the parameter in MODEL.TRANSFORM.mean when training on my onw dataset?
3. Are there other important parameters that I should change?

Sincerely, thank you.

1. Yes
2. No
3. That depends on your dataset.
