DAVIS 2017 Semi-supervised and Unsupervised evaluation package

This package is used to evaluate semi-supervised and unsupervised video multi-object segmentation models for the <a href="https://davischallenge.org/davis2017/code.html" target="_blank">DAVIS 2017</a> dataset.

This tool is also used to evaluate the submissions in the Codalab site for the <a href="https://competitions.codalab.org/competitions/20516" target="_blank">Semi-supervised DAVIS Challenge</a> and the <a href="https://competitions.codalab.org/competitions/20515" target="_blank">Unsupervised DAVIS Challenge</a>

Installation

# Download the code
git clone https://github.com/davisvideochallenge/davis2017-evaluation.git && cd davis2017-evaluation
# Install it - Python 3.6 or higher required
python setup.py install

If you don't want to specify the DAVIS path every time, you can modify the default value in the variable default_davis_path in evaluation_method.py(the following examples assume that you have set it). Otherwise, you can specify the path in every call using using the flag --davis_path /path/to/DAVIS when calling evaluation_method.py.

Once the evaluation has finished, two different CSV files will be generated inside the folder with the results:

• global_results-SUBSET.csv contains the overall results for a certain SUBSET.
• per-sequence_results-SUBSET.csv contain the per sequence results for a certain SUBSET.

If a folder that contains the previous files is evaluated again, the results will be read from the CSV files instead of recomputing them.

Evaluate DAVIS 2017 Semi-supervised

In order to evaluate your semi-supervised method in DAVIS 2017, execute the following command substituting results/semi-supervised/osvos by the folder path that contains your results:

python evaluation_method.py --task semi-supervised --results_path results/semi-supervised/osvos

The semi-supervised results have been generated using OSVOS.

Evaluate DAVIS 2017 Unsupervised

In order to evaluate your unsupervised method in DAVIS 2017, execute the following command substituting results/unsupervised/rvos by the folder path that contains your results:

python evaluation_method.py --task unsupervised --results_path results/unsupervised/rvos

The unsupervised results example have been generated using RVOS.

Evaluation running in Codalab

In case you would like to know which is the evaluation script that is running in the Codalab servers, check the evaluation_codalab.py script.

This package runs in the following docker image: scaelles/codalab:anaconda3-2018.12
