Path Aggregation Network for Instance Segmentation

by Shu Liu, Lu Qi, Haifang Qin, Jianping Shi, Jiaya Jia.

Introduction

This repository is for the CVPR 2018 Spotlight paper, 'Path Aggregation Network for Instance Segmentation', which ranked 1st place of COCO Instance Segmentation Challenge 2017 , 2nd place of COCO Detection Challenge 2017 (Team Name: UCenter) and 1st place of 2018 Scene Understanding Challenge for Autonomous Navigation in Unstructured Environments (Team Name: TUTU).

Disclaimer

  • The origin code was implemented based on the modified version of Caffe maintained by Sensetime Research. Due to several reasons, we could not release our origin code.
  • In this repository, we provide our re-implementation of PANet based on Pytorch. Note that our code is heavily based on Detectron.pytorch. Thanks Roy for his great work!
  • Several details, e.g., weight initialization and RPN joint training, in Detectron is fairly different from our origin implementation. In this repository, we simply follow Detectron because it achieves a better baseline than the codebase used in our paper.
  • In this repository, we test our code with BN layers in the backbone fixed and use GN in other part. We expect to achieve a better performance with Synchronized Batch Normalization Layer and train all parameter layers as what we have done in our paper. With those differences and a much better baseline, the improvement is not same as the one we reported. But we achieve a better performance than our origin implementation.
  • We trained with image batch size 16 using 8*P40. The performance should be similar with batch size 8.

Installation

For environment requirements, data preparation and compilation, please refer to Detectron.pytorch.

WARNING: pytorch 0.4.1 is broken, see pytorch/pytorch#8483. Use pytorch 0.4.0

Usage

For training and testing, we keep the same as the one in Detectron.pytorch. To train and test PANet, simply use corresponding config files. For example, to train PANet on COCO:

python tools/train_net_step.py --dataset coco2017 --cfg configs/panet/e2e_panet_R-50-FPN_2x_mask.yaml

To evaluate the model, simply use:

python tools/test_net.py --dataset coco2017 --cfg configs/panet/e2e_panet_R-50-FPN_2x_mask.yaml --load_ckpt {path/to/your/checkpoint}

Results on COCO 20017 val subset produced by this repository. In our paper, we used Synchronized Batch Normalization following all parameter layers. While in this repository, we fix BN layers in the backbone and use GN layers in other part. With the same set of hyper-parameters, e.g., multi-scales, this repository can produce better performance than that in our origin paper. We expect a better performance with Synchronized Batch Normalization Layer.
