PseudoSeg: Designing Pseudo Labels for Semantic Segmentation

PseudoSeg is a simple consistency training framework for semi-supervised image semantic segmentation, which has a simple and novel re-design of pseudo-labeling to generate well-calibrated structured pseudo labels for training with unlabeled or weakly-labeled data. It is implemented by Yuliang Zou (research intern) in 2020 Summer.

Instruction

Installation

• Use a virtual environment

virtualenv -p python3 --system-site-packages env
source env/bin/activate

• Install packages

pip install -r requirements.txt

Dataset

Create a dataset folder under the ROOT directory, then download the pre-created tfrecords for voc12 and coco, and extract them in dataset folder. You may also want to check the filenames for each split under data_splits folder.

Training

NOTE:

• We train all our models using 16 V100 GPUs.
• The ImageNet pre-trained models can be download here.
• For VOC12, ${SPLIT} can be 2_clean, 4_clean, 8_clean, 16_clean_3 (representing 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, and 1/16 splits), NUM_ITERATIONS should be set to 30000.
• For COCO, ${SPLIT} can be 32_all, 64_all, 128_all, 256_all, 512_all (representing 1/32, 1/64, 1/128, 1/256, and 1/512 splits), NUM_ITERATIONS should be set to 200000.
