Clothes Parsing

Overview

This code provides an implementation of the research paper:

  A High Performance CRF Model for Clothes Parsing
  Edgar Simo-Serra, Sanja Fidler, Francesc Moreno-Noguer, and Raquel Urtasun
  Asian Conference on Computer Vision (ACCV), 2014

The code here allows training and testing of a model that got state-of-the-art results on the Fashionista dataset at the time of publication.

Installation

In order to get started first checkout out the source code and then extract the features:

# Check out the git and cd into it as working directory
git clone https://github.com/bobbens/clothes_parsing.git
cd clothes_parsing
# Get and unpack the necessary features
wget http://hi.cs.waseda.ac.jp/~esimo//data/poseseg.tar.bz2
tar xvjf poseseg.tar.bz2 

The dSP dependency must also be compiled. This can be done by:

cd lib/dSP_5.1
make # First edit the Makefile if necessary

Usage

You can reproduce results simply by running from Matlab:

sm = segmodel( 'PROFILE', '0.16', 'use_real_pose', false ); % Load the model, parameters can be set here
sm = sm.train_misc_unaries(); % Trains some misc stuff
sm = sm.train_MRF(); % Actually sets up and trains the CRF
R = sm.test_MRF_segmentation() % Performs testing and outputs results

This should generate an output like:

 BUILDING MRF OUTPUT 29 CLASSES (REAL POSE=0)...
 UNARIES:
    bgbias
    logreg:       29
    cpmc_logreg:  29
    cpmc
    shapelets
 HIGHER ORDER
    similarity
    limbs
 Initializing Image 011 / 350...   0.4 seconds!   

 ...

 Tested MRF in 319.0 seconds
 350 / 350... 

 R = 

     confusion: [29x29 double]
     order: [29x1 double]
     acc: 0.8432
     pre: [29x1 double]
     rec: [29x1 double]
     f1: [29x1 double]
     voc: [29x1 double]
     avr_pre: 0.3007
     avr_rec: 0.3292
     avr_f1: 0.3039
     avr_voc: 0.2013

Please note that due to stochastic components and differences between software versions, the numbers will not be exactly the same as the paper. For the paper all results were obtained on a linux machine running Ubuntu 12.04 with Matlab R2012a (7.14.0.739) 64-bit (glnxa64).

You can furthermore visualize the output of the model with:

sm.test_MRF_visualize( 'output/' )

This will save both the ground truth segmentations and the predicted segmentations in the directory 'output/' as shown in the paper.
