Pytorch implementation of our paper Hierarchical Multi-Scale Attention for Semantic Segmentation.

Please refer to the sdcnet branch if you are looking for the code corresponding to Improving Semantic Segmentation via Video Prediction and Label Relaxation.

Installation

  • The code is tested with pytorch 1.3 and python 3.6
  • You can use ./Dockerfile to build an image.

Download Weights

  • Create a directory where you can keep large files. Ideally, not in this directory.
  > mkdir <large_asset_dir>
  • Update __C.ASSETS_PATH in config.py to point at that directory

    __C.ASSETS_PATH=<large_asset_dir>

  • Download pretrained weights from google drive and put into <large_asset_dir>/seg_weights

Download/Prepare Data

If using Cityscapes, download Cityscapes data, then update config.py to set the path:

__C.DATASET.CITYSCAPES_DIR=<path_to_cityscapes>

If using Cityscapes Autolabelled Images, download Cityscapes data, then update config.py to set the path:

__C.DATASET.CITYSCAPES_CUSTOMCOARSE=<path_to_cityscapes>

If using Mapillary, download Mapillary data, then update config.py to set the path:

__C.DATASET.MAPILLARY_DIR=<path_to_mapillary>

Running the code

The instructions below make use of a tool called runx, which we find useful to help automate experiment running and summarization. For more information about this tool, please see runx. In general, you can either use the runx-style commandlines shown below. Or you can call python train.py <args ...> directly if you like.

Run inference on Cityscapes

Dry run:

> python -m runx.runx scripts/eval_cityscapes.yml -i -n

This will just print out the command but not run. It's a good way to inspect the commandline.

Real run:

> python -m runx.runx scripts/eval_cityscapes.yml -i

The reported IOU should be 86.92. This evaluates with scales of 0.5, 1.0. and 2.0. You will find evaluation results in ./logs/eval_cityscapes/...

Run inference on Mapillary

> python -m runx.runx scripts/eval_mapillary.yml -i

The reported IOU should be 61.05. Note that this must be run on a 32GB node and the use of 'O3' mode for amp is critical in order to avoid GPU out of memory. Results in logs/eval_mapillary/...

Dump images for Cityscapes

> python -m runx.runx scripts/dump_cityscapes.yml -i

This will dump network output and composited images from running evaluation with the Cityscapes validation set.

Run inference and dump images on a folder of images

> python -m runx.runx scripts/dump_folder.yml -i

You should end up seeing images that look like the following:

Train a model

Train cityscapes, using HRNet + OCR + multi-scale attention with fine data and mapillary-pretrained model

> python -m runx.runx scripts/train_cityscapes.yml -i

The first time this command is run, a centroid file has to be built for the dataset. It'll take about 10 minutes. The centroid file is used during training to know how to sample from the dataset in a class-uniform way.

This training run should deliver a model that achieves 84.7 IOU.

Train SOTA default train-val split

> python -m runx.runx  scripts/train_cityscapes_sota.yml -i

Again, use -n to do a dry run and just print out the command. This should result in a model with 86.8 IOU. If you run out of memory, try to lower the crop size or turn off rmi_loss.
