CAT-Seg: Cost Aggregation for Open-Vocabulary Semantic Segmentation [CVPR 2024 Highlight]

This is our official implementation of CAT-Seg!

[arXiv] [Project] [HuggingFace Demo] [Segment Anything with CAT-Seg]<br>

Introduction

We introduce cost aggregation to open-vocabulary semantic segmentation, which jointly aggregates both image and text modalities within the matching cost.

For further details and visualization results, please check out our paper and our project page.

❗️Update: We released the code and pre-trained weights for CVPR version of CAT-Seg! Some major updates are:

• We now solely utilize CLIP as the pre-trained encoders, without additional backbones (ResNet, Swin)!
• We also fine-tune the text encoder of CLIP, yielding significantly improved performance!

For further details, please check out our updated paper. Note that the demos are still running on our previous version, and will be updated soon!

• Demo update

Installation

Please follow installation.

Data Preparation

Please follow dataset preperation.

Demo

If you want to try your own images locally, please try interactive demo.

Training

We provide shell scripts for training and evaluation. run.sh trains the model in default configuration and evaluates the model after training.

To train or evaluate the model in different environments, modify the given shell script and config files accordingly.

Training script

sh run.sh [CONFIG] [NUM_GPUS] [OUTPUT_DIR] [OPTS]

# For ViT-B variant
sh run.sh configs/vitb_384.yaml 4 output/
# For ViT-L variant
sh run.sh configs/vitl_336.yaml 4 output/

Evaluation

eval.sh automatically evaluates the model following our evaluation protocol, with weights in the output directory if not specified. To individually run the model in different datasets, please refer to the commands in eval.sh.

Evaluation script

sh run.sh [CONFIG] [NUM_GPUS] [OUTPUT_DIR] [OPTS]

sh eval.sh configs/vitl_336.yaml 4 output/ MODEL.WEIGHTS path/to/weights.pth

Pretrained Models

We provide pretrained weights for our models reported in the paper. All of the models were evaluated with 4 NVIDIA RTX 3090 GPUs, and can be reproduced with the evaluation script above.

Acknowledgement

We would like to acknowledge the contributions of public projects, such as Zegformer, whose code has been utilized in this repository. We also thank Benedikt for finding an error in our inference code and evaluating CAT-Seg over various datasets!
