Weakly Supervised Learning of Instance Segmentation with Inter-pixel Relations

Weakly Supervised Learning of Instance Segmentation with Inter-pixel Relations, Jiwoon Ahn, Sunghyun Cho, and Suha Kwak, CVPR 2019 [Paper]

This repository contains a framework for learning instance segmentation with image-level class labels as supervision. The key component of our approach is Inter-pixel Relation Network (IRNet) that estimates two types of information: a displacement vector field and a class boundary map, both of which are in turn used to generate pseudo instance masks from CAMs.

Prerequisite

• Python 3.7, PyTorch 1.1.0, and more in requirements.txt
• PASCAL VOC 2012 devkit
• NVIDIA GPU with more than 1024MB of memory

Usage

Install python dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

Download PASCAL VOC 2012 devkit

• Follow instructions in http://host.robots.ox.ac.uk/pascal/VOC/voc2012/#devkit

Run run_sample.py or make your own script

python run_sample.py

• You can either mannually edit the file, or specify commandline arguments.

Train Mask R-CNN or DeepLab with the generated pseudo labels

• For the reports, we used Detectron.
  • Run step/make_cocoann.py to create COCO-style annotations.
  • Note: Do not employ https://storage.googleapis.com/coco-dataset/external/PASCAL_VOC.zip to measure the performance of the Mask R-CNN! It only contains bounding box annotations.
• TorchVision now supports Mask R-CNN and DeepLab. I personally recommend to use this.

TO DO

• Training code for MS-COCO
• Code refactoring
• IRNet v2
