OpenPCDet Models and Configs

Use this sub-skill for YAML config interpretation, model-family selection, detector registry names, --set overrides, module extension, and advanced configs.

Fast route

1. Read references/config-and-model-map.md for config semantics and registry names.
2. Inventory a checkout with scripts/inventory_openpcdet_configs.py --repo <checkout>.
3. Summarize a target config with ../../scripts/summarize_openpcdet_config.py --cfg <config.yaml>.
4. Route data/product problems to ../data-preparation/SKILL.md and train/test command construction to ../training-and-evaluation/SKILL.md.

High-risk model/config tasks

• Matching checkpoint, config, class names, point feature schema, and detector family.
• Selecting spconv-heavy vs point-based vs image-fusion models based on runtime and dataset availability.
• Extending registries without forgetting __all__ mappings or config NAME fields.
• Applying --set overrides without violating OpenPCDet's type checks.
