GSNet

Seed-based skeleton ICCV 2021 depth input equal to the reference ✓ trained here

From the point cloud of a depth image, it scores the graspness of every point, keeps 1024 seeds where it is high, picks one of 300 approach views per seed and regresses score and width over a grid of angles and depths.

Paper · Reference code (third-party) · Configs, results and notes

Run GSNet in five minutes

Four steps from the released checkpoint to grasps. A test parses each command and runs the demo and the Python code on a toy detector of the method's family.

1. Get the weights

GraspPanda trained GSNet once, but those weights are not published yet: the file to download is the checkpoint of the reference implementation (graspness_unofficial, third-party). Download minkuresunet_realsense.tar (Google Drive) and convert it once, from the root of a GraspPanda checkout:

python -m tools.convert_checkpoint minkuresunet_realsense.tar gsnet_realsense.pth \
    --source-format graspness-unofficial --camera realsense

Before you use it: It loads strictly and runs, but it is far below the paper: its best-ranked grasps run into the scene, so use it with the collision filter.

Licence, checksum and what the converter writes
  • Licence: academic, non-commercial (SJTU), as the reference repository; trained on GraspNet-1Billion (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0)
  • SHA-256 of the download: a0b9d85b300e40c76b66d092de62138d74757d6b7c2037f0d364f33960c54aa9
  • What the converter writes: gsnet_realsense.pth, every tensor of the downloaded file under the name of the module that plays its role here, no value changed, with a note of the file it came from. A tensor left over or missing stops the conversion with a report; nothing is ever loaded partially. The converter is a tool of the repository; it is not installed with the package.
  • The weights trained here (the reproduced rows of the README): trained on GraspNet-1Billion (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0); whether and where these weights are published has not been decided.

2. Grasps on the example scene

grasppanda demo gsnet/gsnet_sunet14_g1b-realsense_10e \
    --weights gsnet_realsense.pth --example --collision-filter

--example is a synthetic table-top scene shipped with GraspPanda: no dataset, no download. 14.8 s for the whole command, 418 grasps kept (one NVIDIA RTX A6000 shared with other jobs).

What it prints and writes, and every measured run

The command prints the config and its hash, how the weights loaded (every tensor matched, none missing), the test pipeline, the cloud, how many grasps the model predicted and how many the collision filter left (the config's variant cd: ModelFreeCollisionFilter), and the ten best grasps. It writes into work_dirs/gsnet_sunet14_g1b-realsense_10e/demo/:

  • grasps.npy: the grasps that are left, (G, 17) float32 in the GraspNet layout, best first, camera frame, metres;
  • grasps.png and grasps.gif: the cloud with the 30 best grasps, still and swinging around the scene;
  • example/: the scene as files (depth.png, rgb.png, mask.png, intrinsics.txt).

Measured with the released file, converted: 14.8 s for the whole command; 15,000 points to the model, sampled from 316,254 in the workspace; 1024 grasps predicted, 418 left after ModelFreeCollisionFilter (2026-10-15, commit 0ddca31, one NVIDIA RTX A6000 shared with other jobs).

Measured with the weights trained here (not published): 16.6 s for the whole command; 15,000 points to the model, sampled from 316,254 in the workspace; 1024 grasps predicted, 689 left after ModelFreeCollisionFilter (2026-10-15, commit ea6268b, one NVIDIA RTX A6000 shared with other jobs).

3. From Python, a browser or your camera

from grasppanda import GraspInferencer
from grasppanda.apis import example_scene
scene = example_scene()  # the scene of --example
inferencer = GraspInferencer(
    "gsnet/gsnet_sunet14_g1b-realsense_10e", "gsnet_realsense.pth"
)
grasps = inferencer(
    depth=scene.depth, intrinsics=scene.intrinsics,
    depth_scale=scene.depth_scale, mask=scene.mask,
    table_from_camera=scene.table_from_camera, collision_filter=True,
)
print(len(grasps), grasps.sort_by_score().to_graspnet_array()[:3])

It runs the demo's pipeline on the demo's scene and returns its 418 grasps. mask= stands in for the segmentation the config crops the workspace with; on your camera, pass a mask or workspace=(xmin, ymin, zmin, xmax, ymax, zmax) in metres. More: From Python.

# ~/grasppanda_weights: the folder that holds gsnet_realsense.pth
grasppanda explore --weights-dir ~/grasppanda_weights

Open http://127.0.0.1:8765/ and choose GSNet in the Run tab: gsnet_realsense.pth is chosen for you by its name. Keep the example scene or upload a depth image with its intrinsics, and press Run: the page shows the picture, the best ten grasps, the counts through the post-processing and the command that does the same in a terminal. The server listens on your machine only and downloads nothing: Run in the browser.

grasppanda demo gsnet/gsnet_sunet14_g1b-realsense_10e \
    --weights gsnet_realsense.pth \
    --depth work_dirs/gsnet_sunet14_g1b-realsense_10e/demo/example/depth.png \
    --intrinsics work_dirs/gsnet_sunet14_g1b-realsense_10e/demo/example/intrinsics.txt \
    --workspace -0.25 -0.2 0.35 0.25 0.2 0.8 \
    --collision-filter --out work_dirs/camera

The scene files of step 2 stand in for a camera. GSNet was trained on clouds cropped around the objects; on a camera image, --workspace (a box in the camera frame, metres) or --mask does that crop. Units, frames, the depth scale and the intrinsics: Your own camera.

4. A first number on the benchmark

With GraspNet-1Billion on disk (Datasets), score every 64th frame of the seen test scenes, 120 frames:

grasppanda test gsnet/gsnet_sunet14_g1b-realsense_10e \
    --weights gsnet_realsense.pth \
    --opts data.test.dataset.split=test_seen data.test.dataset.frame_step=64 \
    evaluation.num_workers=4

Measured with the released file, converted: AP 19.23 without the collision filter and 39.75 with it (this file was not scored on the whole split).

What it prints, and every measured run against the whole split

It prints AP, AP0.8 and AP0.4 for every variant of the config, raw (the predictions as they are) and cd (with the collision filter), and writes a result record per variant into the run directory under work_dirs/. Testing needs no derived asset; the evaluator extracts a cache from the dataset's object models the first time it runs, which the times below do not include.

Weights, provenance Collision filter AP, 120 frames of test_seen AP, whole seen split Difference Wall time, commit
the released file, converted, author-ckpt off 19.23 not scored on the whole split — 36.6 s, 0ddca31

on 70.74 71.23 (record) −0.49

Provenance: author-ckpt, the checkpoint of the reference implementation (graspness_unofficial, third-party), evaluated by GraspPanda; reproduced, trained and evaluated by GraspPanda. Inputs: the workspace is cropped around the ground-truth segmentation (gt_assisted: workspace), as in the reference. On these 120 frames the AP is within 1.01 AP of the whole split, so the subset tells you quickly whether your installation gives what the records say; it is not a benchmark number. Measured on 2026-10-15 on one NVIDIA RTX A6000 shared with other jobs.

The machine: one NVIDIA RTX A6000 (48 GB) shared with other jobs, an AMD EPYC 7262 with OMP_NUM_THREADS=3; Python 3.12, PyTorch 2.7.1 with CUDA 11.8, spconv 2.3.8.

The options of every slot

Every option that fits GSNet, except target-mask, was composed under it; those accepted were probed on real frames; the others say why.

A probe shows that a combination trains on real frames of GraspNet-1Billion, not how good it is. Accuracy is claimed only for a method trained and evaluated here.

How to swap, and how to read these lists

Swap one option in with a single line, or list the options of a slot:

grasppanda compose gsnet/gsnet_sunet14_g1b-realsense_10e \
    --set <slot>=<option> -o swap.yaml
grasppanda compose gsnet/gsnet_sunet14_g1b-realsense_10e --list <slot>

The summary table:

  • Composes: the options the config check accepts under GSNet, the one it ships included. needs consent: an option it holds back until you accept the code it downloads (the row says how), neither accepted nor refused. no record: never composed; the row says why.
  • Refused: the options the config check refuses under GSNet; each row gives the first sentence of the reason. For losses, both columns count the terms (or sets of terms) a preset was tried on.
  • Runs here: the swaps whose probe trained on real frames under GSNet without an error, out of every option tried there as a swap: a refusal counts, the option the method ships does not, and a loss preset is one option. Does it run? counts the same way.

The lists of each slot:

  • Runs: the methods under which the swap trained on real frames without an error, out of every method it is a swap under; the methods that ship the option are own and not counted. Who is left out, and why, stands under the chip, or below the table when it is long. Measured: 20 training iterations on 8 RealSense frames of GraspNet-1Billion (one scene), seed 0, one run per cell; nothing was measured on GraspClutter6D or on Kinect frames.
  • Trains like shipped: trained 250 iterations beside the component the method ships, its losses fall as theirs do, out of the methods it was compared under; a method under which the swap did not run, or where it trained on a schedule of its own, is named and not counted. Level 2 needs runs, not learns: a term flat after 20 iterations can fall by 250. Measured: 250 iterations on 8 RealSense frames of GraspNet-1Billion (one scene), seed 0, at a constant learning rate (FineGrasp: its own warm-up), beside the method as shipped trained the same way twice.
  • Under GSNet: ✓ when it reached every level here; level ? (as shipped) when GSNet as shipped does not reach that level either (a note below the table says why), so the level says nothing about the option; else the level it missed and why (composes, runs, learns, predicts), or why it was refused.

The levels, the refusal kinds and the thresholds: How we measure; every record: Does it run?; every comparison at level 2: Does it train like the shipped component?.

How this port differs from the reference
  • The reference implementation is third-party; no official training code exists.
  • The reference test script enables its collision filter by default, while the published numbers are without it. Both variants are always evaluated here.
  • Point-wise graspness labels must come from grasppanda prepare. Label files made by other generators are row-aligned to a preprocessing they do not record.

How it was checked, stage by stage: tests/integration/test_gsnet_parity.py and the README.
