jupyter

Install remotely on a Ubuntu 16.04 server and visulize by Jupyter Notebook

Install mayavi

• remote servers usually lack GUI supports, so first some libraries and backends should be installed

(base)$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-glx xvfb

• install like locally, add xvfbwrapper

(base)$ conda create -n kitti_vis python=3.7
(base)$ conda activate kitti_vis
(kitti_vis)$ pip install opencv-python pillow scipy matplotlib xvfbwrapper
(kitti_vis)$ conda install mayavi -c conda-forge

• install jupyter notebook

(kitti_vis)$ pip install notebook

• install ipywidgets and ipyevents, enable them as notebook extensions

(kitti_vis)$ pip install ipywidgets ipyevents
(kitti_vis)$ jupyter nbextension enable --py --sys-prefix widgetsnbextension
(kitti_vis)$ jupyter nbextension enable --py --sys-prefix ipyevents

• install and enable mayavi extension

(kitti_vis)$ jupyter nbextension install --py --sys-prefix mayavi
(kitti_vis)$ jupyter nbextension enable --py --sys-prefix mayavi

• to test on Jupyter notebook, first set ETS_TOOLKIT

(kitti_vis)$ export ETS_TOOLKIT='null'

• then you can test mayavi intallation by this notebook, which should show an interactive 3D curve

Use Jupyter Notebook for kitti visulization

• Here is a simple demo.

Note: the above installation is tested successful on an official PyTorch docker image.
