## About The Project

This project focuses on enhancing the navigation capabilities of UAVs in visually challenging environments using a Unity-based simulation framework. The learning framework combines **cross-modal contrastive learning** and **deep reinforcement learning** to acquire robust visuomotor policies from monocular RGB observations. A fixed **resnet-based encoder** trained with RGB-depth contrastive objectives is used to extract transferable visual representations, which are then used to train a navigation policy using **Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO)**.

> ⚠️ **Note**  
> Due to the large size and complexity of Unity-based simulation environments, we only release the code of **feature encoder**, which allows you to extract robust representations from RGB images for downstream tasks such as reinforcement learning.  
> 🧠 The feature encoder can be easily integrated with your own simulator.  
> 🔧 If you're looking for simple Gazebo-based UAV navigation examples, you can check out our other projects on GitHub:

## Getting Started

### Installation and Usage

1. Clone the repo
   ```sh
   git clone https://github.com/zzzzzyh111/CL4Nav.git
   ```
2. Create the conda environment
   ```sh
   conda env create --name cl4nav --file env.yml
   conda activate cl4nav
   ```

3. Install required packages
   ```sh
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   ```
4. Run the script
   ```sh
   python3 run.py
   ```
Before running CL4Nav, make sure you choose the correct running configurations. You can change the running configurations by passing keyword arguments to the ```run.py``` file.

```python
python run.py -rgb-path ./datasets/RGB -depth-path ./datasets/Depth --dataset-name uav
```
If you want to run it on CPU (for debugging purposes) use the ```--disable-cuda``` option.

For 16-bit precision GPU training, there **NO** need to to install [NVIDIA apex](https://github.com/NVIDIA/apex). Just use the ```--fp16_precision``` flag and this implementation will use [Pytorch built in AMP training](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/notes/amp_examples.html).

After training is completed, results will be saved in the `runs/` directory.  
To visualize your loss curves and training metrics using TensorBoard, run the following command:
```bash
tensorboard --logdir=path/to/your/runs
```

## Dataset
A small sample dataset is provided for evaluation and testing. 
You can download it from the following Google Drive link:

🔗 [Sample Dataset](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PjifJkg0OEAjeXJRcTimFM3O1EljDrOP/view?usp=drive_link)

After downloading, please **extract the archive** and place the resulting `RGB/` and `Depth/` folders into the project's `datasets/` directory:
