[MinkowskiEngine 0.5.4][ME.RegionType.HYBRID vs ME.RegionType.CUSTOM] ME.RegionType.CUSTOM giving AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'numel'

[sandeepnmenon]

Hi @chrischoy
I am trying to run the code in presumably written with the 0.4.3 MinkowskiEngine but my version in 0.5.4

SpatioTemporalSegmentation/models/modules/common.py

Line 58 in 4afee29

ConvType.SPATIAL_HYPERCUBE_TEMPORAL_HYPERCROSS: ME.RegionType.HYBRID

Which uses ME.RegionType.HYBRID.
I replaced HYPERCUBE and HYPERCROSS to HYPER_CUBE and HYPER_CROSS respectively. Then I replaced ME.RegionType.HYBRID with ME.RegionType.CUSTOM in the above mentioned line.

I am getting the following error

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'numel'

While trying to create an ME.KernelGenerator
using the following params

ME.KernelGenerator(
      3, 1, 1, region_type=ME.RegionType.CUSTOM, axis_types=[<RegionType.HYPER_CUBE: 0>, <RegionType.HYPER_CUBE: 0>, <RegionType.HYPER_CUBE: 0>, <RegionType.HYPER_CROSS: 1>], dimension=4)

It is because I am not providing region_offsets. Can you help me understand offsets to give in this case?
How to use the ME.RegionType.CUSTOM type in replacement to this?
Else, how to install MinkowskiEngine 0.4.3. I dont see an archive.

Thank you

@sandeepnmenon hello,MinkowskiEngine 0.4.3 at here : https://github.com/NVIDIA/MinkowskiEngine/releases/tag/v0.4.3

[sandeepnmenon]

@suyunzzz Thank you
Closing the issue.

Hey @sandeepnmenon,

did you solve the issue in the end? I'm using mink v 0.5 but the HYBRID kernel is not available yet.

[sandeepnmenon]

@saltoricristiano
No, I could not solve it in v0.5.
I solved the issue by using v0.4.3 in my environment.

Hey @sandeepnmenon,

did you solve the issue in the end? I'm using mink v 0.5 but the HYBRID kernel is not available yet.

I found that Chris did have a branch for v0.5, that can solve the region type update issue. See this commit.
