Preparing Datasets

PASCAL VOC2012

Download images in PASCAL VOC2012 dataset at here and the train_aug groundtruth at here. The structure of /your_home_dir/datasets/VOC2012should be organized as follows:

---VOC2012/
       --Annotations
       --ImageSets
       --JPEGImages
       --SegmentationClass
       --SegmentationClassAug

MS COCO2014

Download MS COCO images from the official website. Download semantic segmentation annotations for the MS COCO dataset at here. The structure of /your_home_dir/datasets/COCO2014are suggested to be organized as follows:

---COCO2014/
       --Annotations
       --JPEGImages
           -train2014
           -val2014
       --SegmentationClass

Preparing pre-trained model

Download CLIP pre-trained [ViT-B/16] at here and put it to /your_home_dir/pretrained_models/clip.

Usage

Step 1. Generate CAMs for train (train_aug) set.

# For VOC12
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python generate_cams_voc12.py --img_root /your_home_dir/datasets/VOC2012/JPEGImages --split_file ./voc12/train_aug.txt --model /your_home_dir/pretrained_models/clip/ViT-B-16.pt --num_workers 1 --cam_out_dir ./output/voc12/cams

# For COCO14
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python generate_cams_coco14.py --img_root /your_home_dir/datasets/COCO2014/JPEGImages/train2014 --split_file ./coco14/train.txt --model /your_home_dir/pretrained_models/clip/ViT-B-16.pt --num_workers 1 --cam_out_dir ./output/coco14/cams

Step 2. Evaluate generated CAMs and use CRF to postprocess

# (optional) evaluate generated CAMs
## for VOC12
python eval_cam.py --cam_out_dir ./output/voc12/cams --cam_type attn_highres --gt_root /your_home_dir/datasets/VOC2012/SegmentationClassAug --split_file ./voc12/train.txt
## for COCO14
python eval_cam.py --cam_out_dir ./output/coco14/cams --cam_type attn_highres --gt_root /your_home_dir/datasets/COCO2014/SegmentationClass --split_file ./coco14/train.txt

# use CRF process to generate pseudo masks 
(realize confidence-guided loss by setting pixels with low confidence to 255)
## for VOC12 
python eval_cam_with_crf.py --cam_out_dir ./output/voc12/cams --gt_root /your_home_dir/datasets/VOC2012/SegmentationClassAug --image_root /your_home_dir/datasets/VOC2012/JPEGImages --split_file ./voc12/train_aug.txt --pseudo_mask_save_path ./output/voc12/pseudo_masks
## for COCO14
python eval_cam_with_crf.py --cam_out_dir ./output/coco14/cams --gt_root /your_home_dir/datasets/COCO2014/SegmentationClass --image_root /your_home_dir/datasets/COCO2014/JPEGImages/train2014 --split_file ./coco14/train.txt --pseudo_mask_save_path ./output/coco2014/pseudo_masks

# eval CRF processed pseudo masks
## for VOC12 
python eval_cam_with_crf.py --cam_out_dir ./output/voc12/cams --gt_root /your_home_dir/datasets/VOC2012/SegmentationClassAug --image_root /your_home_dir/datasets/VOC2012/JPEGImages --split_file ./voc12/train_aug.txt --eval_only
## for COCO14
python eval_cam_with_crf.py --cam_out_dir ./output/coco14/cams --gt_root /your_home_dir/datasets/COCO2014/SegmentationClass --image_root /your_home_dir/datasets/COCO2014/JPEGImages/train2014 --split_file ./coco14/train.txt --eval_only

The generated pseudo masks of VOC12 and COCO14 can be found at Google Drive.

Step 3. Train Segmentation Model

To train DeepLab-v2, we refer to deeplab-pytorch. The ImageNet pre-trained model can be found in AdvCAM.
