Acknowledgements: Thanks to Yangqing Jia and the BVLC team for creating Caffe.

Introduction

DeconvNet is state-of-the-art semantic segmentation system that combines bottom-up region proposals with multi-layer decovolution network.

Detailed description of the system will be provided by our technical report [arXiv tech report] http://arxiv.org/abs/1505.04366

System Requirements

This software is tested on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (64bit).

Prerequisites 0. MATLAB (tested with 2014b on 64-bit Linux) 0. prerequisites for caffe(http://caffe.berkeleyvision.org/installation.html#prequequisites)

Installing DeconvNet

By running "setup.sh" you can download all the necessary file for training and inference include: 0. caffe: you need modified version of caffe which support DeconvNet - https://github.com/HyeonwooNoh/caffe.git 0. data: data used for training stage 1 and 2 0. model: caffemodel of trained DeconvNet and other caffemodels required for training

Training DeconvNet

Training scripts are included in ./training/ directory

To train DeconvNet you can simply run following scripts in order: 0. 001_start_train.sh : script for first stage training 0. 002_start_train.sh : script for second stage training 0. 003_start_make_bn_layer_testable : script converting trained DeconvNet with bn layer to inference mode

Inference EDeconvNet+CRF

Run run_demo.m to reproduce EDeconvNet+CRF results on VOC2012 test data.

This script will generated EDeconvNet+CRF results through following steps: 0. run FCN-8s and cache the score [cache_FCN8s_results.m] 0. generate DeconvNet score and apply ensemble with FCN-8s score, post processing with densecrf [generate_EDeconvNet_CRF_results.m]

EDeconvNet+CRF obtains 72.5 mean I/U on PASCAL VOC 2012 Test

External dependencies [can be downloaded by running "setup.sh" script] 0. FCN-8s model and weight file [https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/wiki/Model-Zoo] 0. densecrf with matlab wrapper [https://github.com/johannesu/meanfield-matlab.git] 0. cached proposal bounding boxes extracted with edgebox object proposal [https://github.com/pdollar/edges]
