Prerequisites

• Python 3.6
• Pytorch 1.7
• TensorboardX
• OpenCV 3.4
• Numpy 1.19

Clone repository

git clone git@github.com:shuyonggao/PSOD.git
cd PSOD

Download P-DUTS Dataset

• point supervised DUTS: google

• training images and "train.txt" file: google

Download Relevant Necessary Data

• R50+ViT-B pretrained model: google

• edge maps: google

• gray image: google

Saliency map & Trained model

• trained model: google

• saliency maps: google

• initial pseudo-labels: google

Train Model

1. Put the R50+ViT-B pretrained model into "models" folder.

2. Create the "dataset" folder in the main dirctory ("PSOD"). You should modify the create_link.sh file, then run it to create the soft link.

|----dataset
        |---edge
        |---gray
        |---image
        |---json
        |---train.txt
        |---filled_correct_img_gt  # Run "utills/EdgePoint2gt.py"
        |---filled_correct_mask  # Run "utills/EdgePoint2gt.py"

The Point supervison (json) and edge maps (edge) are employed to generate initial pseudo-labels (we provided the initial pseudo-labels and you can use it directly for training, or you can run python utils/EdgePoint2gt.py) to make initial pseudo-labels.

3. We organize all steps into a shell file, you can run bash edgepoint2gt_train_nss_retrain.sh to complete the entire training process.

Test Model

1. Set the path of the test data in test.py.

2. Create "out_2nd" folder and put the trained model into "out_2nd" folder.

   Run python test.py

   The saliency maps will be saved in the "eval/maps" folder.

3. We also provied the final saliency maps saliency maps: google.

Evaluation Code

The "Eval_SingleMeth_MulDataset.py" in "Saliency-Evaluation-numpy" folder is used to evaluate the saliency maps.
